About me

Gender Male
Industry Non-Profit
Occupation Writer
Location Eastern US, United States
Introduction My real name is not Thomas Payne, it is David Maynard, but I pen using that name because, in my opinion, he wrote one of the best pieces of political literature ever written, "Common Sense". In college I was referred to as a Neo-Con because of my view of the criminal justice system and politics, but I prefer to think of myself as a centrist. My political ideologies are the very tenets that were present at the founding of this great nation of ours. I believe in the Constitution and the Bible because both were used in the formation of the USA.
Interests Politics, Religion, America, The Constitution, Veterans
Favorite Movies Red Dawn, Crimson Tide, Independence Day, My Fellow Americans, All of the Jack Ryan movies.
Favorite Music Rock n' Roll, Classical
Favorite Books Common Sense, War and Peace, Dean Koontz books as well as John Grisham books.

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?

I would use a French accent and draw out the word Poop so that I made everyone else laugh and then I would act offended that they were laughing at my accent.
