CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life to the fullest while being kind to others

ABOUT ME

I was born into a middle-class family, my father was a teacher, both highschool and college. My mom was a great housemom who occasionally substitute-taught and was a real-estate agent. I have one elder sister. I had a great childhood, lots of camping, fishing and spending time at the family-cabin at Bass Lake.
I am an intellectual type, love to read, love languages, history, etc. I am a virulent environmental-skeptic, I know we (humans) have polluted the earth, but really, climates fluctuate, CO2 is not a toxin and "cap and trade" is just a global tax to make money.

I am a Libertarian-Traditionalist, I believe that LESS government is BETTER. I am a strong believer in individual rights and freedom. The "war on terror" and climate-change are just diversions to keep us simple people busy while the banks take over the world.

Also love to be outdoors, espcially backpacking or camping in any alpine mountain-range. Love nature, love food, music..

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live but am willing to defend myself and loved ones if need me. I am a Libertarian, no American, or anyone from any land, should be arrested pr persecuted for what he says, for what s/he thinks, for what s/he owns or puts in his/her body, in other words we are free and government is there to serve US, not we, to serve government. I am a freemarket capitalist, but admit that capitalism can go too far at times. I am against idiot hatespeech laws, who determines what is hateful. I am a contitutionalists.
