Welcome to Americanus!  Americanus is my outlet for discussing the various bits of news and information that strike me as interesting,  important, or (all too often) enraging as I encounter them throughout the day.  As such, it is at its core a personal exercise in putting some of my thoughts into writing, though I certainly hope that some of what I have to say here will be of interest to others and may even spark some debate and discussion in the comments section.  So please, read on, comment, engage…or not.  I’ll be writing regardless.
