About Me
But if need be, he stands alone, against all the "smelly little orthodoxies which are now contending for our souls."
I am Austin Hastings. I am loyal neither to the so-called 'left', nor to the 'right'. In fact, I am finding more and more to disdain about both.

(I am frequently even more dismayed at the ignorance of others.)
