Who is Rabbert?

Rabbert is a rather odd fellow who never thought much about the practical aspects of life. Raised on the west coast of the U.S., educated by films such as "Star Wars" and "Superman" and novels of the "Hardy Boys" variety, he grew up rather spoiled -- until, one day, he realized that the real world is really real after all. And despite his sheltered life and education, he began a study of what is called "Common Sense."

His study led him through a variety of philosophies and religions until he returned to the Roman Catholicism of his youth, mainly through the discovery of a gentleman and friar named Thomas Aquinas. He discovered that Common Sense is not so common in our day and age, and he wishes to make his lamentations of this fact known far and wide.

Being hampered by a number of physical and economic disadvantages, Rabbert turned to the internets to bring his clarion call to the masses. He desires no converts, no disciples, no minions (though Followers are gladly accepted!) but wishes only the peace and joy of Good Conversation and Sound Reasoning about Important Matters. He invites all and sundry to join such a Conversation in his comboxes, and wishes Grace and Peace to all his readers.
