Hello everyone.  This is Midnight Son from southeast Virginia.  Well, that's where my house is but during the week I'm on the road as a trucker.  This post is just a brief introduction.  It will also demonstrate how much time truckers have to actually analyze the issues.  Despite our often simple and occasionally obscene language, truckers seem to be more politically astute than meets the eye.  Not so surprising when you consider that a great many truckers are in fact small business owners (more on that later).  Special thanks to the real one and only bringer of REAL hope, Jesus Christ.  If you don't know Him I urge you to seek Him.  He will change you and change your life for the better.  Thanks to my "brother from another mother" Ed Feeney for giving me the idea for this title.  And of course to my wife Karen, my soulmate, and sounding board who has the patience of Job with me (is Job-ette a name?)
