Spellchek is intended as an exercise in futility,thus the title of the blog.I am a cynic and very skeptical by nature,and the posts contained with-in this site will be wide-ranging.Usually the posts will simply be whatever catches my eye at the moment.I will ask more questions than provide answers.I have a sincere distaste for labels.Much of my posting will be politically oriented.I am not a republican or democrat.I don’t support liberal or progressive views.While many of my views align with conservative or libertarian thinking,I refuse to adopt any label just for the sake of doing so.Maybe this qualifies me as an independent.So be it.I don’t subscribe to most of the movements or agendas afoot these days.I have no faith that reverting back to a republican majority will solve anything.Certainly the status quo can’t work either.I am not a tea partier,although I have attended two of their events.I believe more radical change is necessary.Our system of checks and balances is invalid.Well intended in its inception,it has not served us well lately.We will continue to languish in perpetual flux until we adopt the notion that we cannot solve our problems at the ballot box.So come along for the ride and be sure to jump in with your comments.

By the way, you may ask why my gravatar is a creme egg. When you start with nature’s perfect food in the egg, and then add chocolate to it, you have nirvana. They would be my deserted island food choice for sure!
