About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	I grew up in a big family in a small town in the West. My parents were conservative, Catholic, midwesterners. My dad a violent alcoholic. I'm INFP, progressive in my politics and a member of the Green Party. I think Americans work too hard and do too much. We should play more, make less money, use up less stuff and spend more time enjoying the ones we love. And, while we're at it, reserve a little of that time for keeping an eye on our elected officials. Please take a minute to comment. I'd like to hear from you.
