- Bio
- Welcome to the AMEROCENTRIC ECCENTRIC - challenging the way we look at things from our American perspective, while cherishing and celebrating our unique culture.
I'm an average American, on-again-off-again journalist of 20 years and astute student of humanity with too many questions, never enough answers and an unwavering, if not at times pitiable faith that people (even the most twisted specimens) are inherently good.
