I am an activist and writer that tries to stay up to date on current events and trends that affect me locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. I have been involved in many organizations. Some of these have been centered on peace and justice. Others have been concerned with constitutional rights. Still others have fought against eminent domain where the proposed activity affected community drinking water, caused the destruction of natural habitat, reduced the quality of life for those affected, etc. I have broad interests - culture, music, arts, science, economics, and political affairs. I describe myself as a socialist libertarian - someone who believes strongly in individual rights up to the point where they affect the community and someone who believes strongly in community rights up to the point where they affect the individual. Beyond these beliefs is my universal principal - all thinking beings have the right to believe as they want and this right will not be infringed.
