OK, that means I am a layman at pretty much everything you can think of. Other than what I do for a living, my views do not have the years of education, study and research to back the claims of my theories. Maybe a layman's opinions are of some value. It may be possible that a simple, blue-collar point of view could help in answering unanswered questions of those deep in their isolated studies.

The trucker, plumber, garbage collector, mechanic and others who have learned to survive without a safety net. Life is the professor, and it is sometimes a harsh and unforgiving disciplinarian.

Even though we are layman in one field or another, I believe our opinions hold a certain amount of value.
