My Story
Here’s what Mack Stout is about. I am an aging baby boomer who has been down a long road and most of it was unpaved. I’m not a big fan of talking politics because the only thing that makes me madder than a damn Republican is a damn Democrat. But in our current culture, everyone wants to know what side you claim to belong to so that they can form a judgement about you. I believe that somewhere between fake news and alternative facts lies something called the plain truth. I have a passion for truth and I will resist all attempts to subvert it no matter where they come from.
My favorite writer is Dave Barry for the same reason that my favorite musician is Weird Al Yankovic, namely that they have seemingly mastered the ability to not take themselves or much of anything else too seriously. Perhaps if I had cultivated that ability earlier in life I would be far less neurotic.
My purpose in creating this site is to blow off some steam and hopefully generate some discussion with like-minded (and otherwise) individuals. So about once a week I will put out some rants, observations, and hopefully amusing anecdotes about some of my life’s adventures. Along the way I will welcome any comments and observations you wish to leave, whether you share my point of view or not. My pledge to you is that while I may not agree with your bumper sticker, I’ll defend to the death your right to stick it.
