I am a 22 year old graduate of the University of Chicago, majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Ancient Greek. I have been happily married for 3 and a half years, no kids. I live in Springfield, Oregon where I am currently unemployed. I grew up the son of an evangelical minister but have completely rejected the institution of the church and the existence of God. I consider myself now to be an Atheist with a "spiritual" side. My wife says I'm a pantheist because I love nature so much. I was apathetic about politics for a long time, but the 9/11 truth movement piqued my interest again, and through that I learned about the patriot act, the military commissions act, the privatization of war, the genocide in Iraq, the manipulation of intelligence, and the great extent of voter fraud. I always knew that politicians were corrupt, but I was shocked to learn that it was so bad. Since then I have slowly become a crusader for peace. I think it's important to take our views off the internet and into face to face interactions. I have confronted my parents about the war, and was surprised and happy to learn that they were Ron Paul supporters. I also am actively involved in local peace movements and try to attend at least one action against the war a week. It's amazing how good it feels to hold an Impeach Cheney sign in one hand, and an American flag in the other, in front of rush hour traffic.
