A General Disclaimer =)

I am not trying to sway anyone’s opinions on my blog. More than anything, my website is a  digital scrap book that I can look back on after the P/C and see where I was at during the two years. Heaveily weighted opinions about politics or my experiences are not meant to persuade anyone to accept my point of view. One should not take anything I say as an attack against their own beliefs. =)

If you are family, friends, friends of family, or someone who has simply been following my blog for whatever reason, please e-mail me at mufonix @ gmail . com to get a password. I am taking Peace Corps related posts out of the public domain for privacy/safety/security reasons. Don’t hesitate to e-mail me. =)
