CURRENT MISSION

Working toward a democratic society

ABOUT ME

wow...haven't updated this for a long time. I'm a nerd. I like history, international affairs, watching films, listening to a lot of music, visiting museums, engaging discussions, and reading lots of different news sources (the internet has destroyed my book reading!).

PHILOSOPHY

There are a lot of problems to fix in the world and we can/should all assist, but in a very conscious way.
