About Me

My Humble Opinion is a collection of opinion articles, observations and commentary by me Carl Mitchell.  I am a native Missourian with degrees in English and Journalism.  My political views are mostly liberal except on some issues.  (If you decide to follow my blog you’ll have to guess which ones.)  I have gone from extreme poverty to being one who has bounced back on his feet several times.  That is not to say that my blog will be whiny and humorless.  In fact, I will try to inject some humor into my observations as I lend commentary to today’s issues, trends and current events.  My other articles can be found on Associated Content, here  and here.
