At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable.
Politics: I am a registered Democrat and acknowledge that most people would find my views to be liberal. At the same time, I have a streak of libertarianism, especially where it concerns issues of personal freedom. I consider myself a pragmatist.
Religion: I was baptised and raised with Catholicism, but these days I consider myself a nonbeliever, much to my mother's chagrin.
Local Hot Buttons: There are none in particular that raise my hackles. I am generally a supporter of historic architectural preservation because I think it is important to preserve links to our past. I also think this principle has been a key to Bethlehem's charm and success. I don't believe the new casino has been detrimental to the community. It has created jobs, which are important right now. At the same time, I am always open to listen to any evidence to the contrary.
