I love America, however, I am concerned with the incompatible realities manifest in its present political, economic and social construct. I am cynical without being a Cynic. I am Liberal on some issues, extremely conservative on others: particularly on the separation of powers in government and the separation of Church and State. I'm a patriot, but symbols, in my mind, do not define patriotism, while Justice, Humanism and Intelligence do. I'm tolerant of other people's bad habits, but I would prefer that they would have the discretion to exercise their peculiar proclivities, not in my presence.

Favorite Movies "One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, " "Citizen Caine, " "GWTW."A few others, but not many.
Favorite Music I prefer Opera to all forms of music, however I can listen to anything from Gregorian Chant to Hip Hop. I draw a line on any music (or art form) that glorifies violence or is sexually exploitive. I have real First Amendment problems with that genre

The wicked backspin caught you off guard. How will you play it off without losing your footing?
