About me

Industry Science
Occupation Family Practice Medicine
Location Seattle area, WA, United States
Introduction I am just a regular kind of guy who has been shaking his head far too often at the goings on in this land of ours. Frightened at the polarization of this country and the partisan politics that has insidiously infected most Americans who have lost their way and forgot that we are all exactly that: Americans. Aghast at the hypocrisy of professional politicians and proudly a conservative with strong libertarian leanings.
Interests Obviously science and medicine but also have a strong interest in alternative medicine modalities despite my very conventional and allopathic training. aside from that my next passion and love would be politics . I am a political and news junkie with a multitude of interests including the Russian Federation, China & the middle east . I abhor political correctness and value rational thought and critical thinking skills as well as intellectual honesty . politically I would describe myself as a republitarian. but above all else a conservative .
Favorite Movies The War, Ghandi, V is for Vendetta, Farenheit 451, The Good Shepard, The Blind Side, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, A Christmas Story, Powder, Phenomenon, and I admit an unhealthy love of 80s John Hughes coming-of-age flicks !
Favorite Music Eclectic!!! I love everything from Baroque Classical and Midevil Sacred Chant to Modern Pop and some Country. Only genre I dislike in general (but with a few exceptions) is hip-hop and rap but as I said there are a few artists I really enjoy and come to appreciate including Tupac and Eminem. I also have a love of all 70s music especially disco (yeah yeah I know)
Favorite Books FICTION: The Sparrow, Children of God, Prisoner of Conscience, An Exchange of Hostages, Hour of Judgment, Anything by Neil Gaiman NONFICTION: Too many to list!, Philosophy, ethics, political punditry, founding fathers, conservative thought, relevant medical texts to Family practice
