My name is Jason Harrow.  I live on the Hill.  It's an exclusive neighborhood in a small city about 800 miles west of New York.  I won't say where exactly because I still get death threats from time to time.

You've probably heard of me in connection with the End of Civilization as We Know It.  Unfortunately, if you get your news from the mainstream media - the television networks and the Times and so on - much of what you've heard has been distorted or is downright untrue.  You know how that goes.  If I had been some left-leaning crackpot who blamed America for being under attack, no doubt they'd have portrayed me as a hero, likely given me some neo-superman nickname like "Peace Dad" or "Heartland Patriot," as in "Heartland Patriot Assails American Foreign Policy."  Even if I'd been an Islamo-fascist madman plotting to slaughter the innocent in their thousands, they'd have at least made me out to be a victim of some sort, a hapless product of Western imperialism, something like that, whatever.

But because I'm a political conservative and, even worse, a believing Christian, the networks and the Times and all the rest have consistently depicted me as small-minded and pinch-hearted, a bigot and an ill-educated fool...

So I've decided to tell my story myself.
