ARE YOU THINKING even now about how to live with less use of gasoline? Maybe you are already adjusting your driving in this way. What driving related activities in your life have changed? Do you predict any more changes? Are you thinking about how to maintain your own food stores?...

Nezua and crew have graciously invited me to guest post here at the UMX blog. I figure that before I bust up in here with all sorts of shenanigans and hijinks I should introduce myself. Hey, Y'all! I'm Kevin. That was easy, but I suppose doesn't really say much, now...

Kevin, when not battling the evil forces of academia, wiles his time away writing about truth, justice, and the American way at A Slant Truth. He most definitely doesn't have a comic book fetish, but he does seek to redefine those terms to mean something more humane. He also wants to make you dance. This post created at 12:44 PM.
