Then I gave it up to help Americans in their pursuit of happiness. Say what you want about that, but I've always done it on my own terms and I came by it honestly.

Since making that decision two decades ago it seems like America has become super committed to being as ridiculous as possible. Oof. It's a young country, though. I consider this our adolescence.

This meant that in addition to refining the Moonshot idea, I also had to reconcile it with an increasingly volatile cultural climate.

My perspective is definitely outside of the box, and speaking up about anything, especially politics, meant I would inevitably be vilified.

But because the primary function of the Civil Network is to give Americans an appropriate platform on which to register, prioritize and track their grievances so we can forever change how we view and address our problems as a society, it was only natural to lean into that inevitable vilification with BlameThisDude.com.

While I'm sincere in the effort, I'm no saint. A big part of me is really f****** fed up with watching the most powerful men in the world play the victim while turning good, honest, citizens against each other.

It's obnoxious raising a young man in a country where the idea of what that means is being torn to shreds. In my house we show gratitude, take responsibility, own our mistakes, protect the weak, stand up to the cruel, and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Even though a lot of you sketch me out at this very moment. It's alright, though. We keep going.

And after 21 years and over 40,000 hours dedicated to refining this idea, I'd bet my life that could do a better job than any of these whiny a*******. So, yeah, if that's not reason enough to put me on blast, I'm cordially inviting every American, especially the self-serving, silver-spoon, finger-pointing, "leaders" of this country to either grow the f*** up or Blame This Dude.
