| Introduction | A few things that drive me: Fair Play and representation of the smaller guy who tends to get beat up by the system. In representing the small guy's interest in good, clean government, government that is fair to the governed--the way the Founding Fathers saw it, I like to give it back to the bullies in spades. the guys who always complain about "our Values" those self professed arbiters of what's right and what's wrong; those guys who wave the flag and never served because they were too busy! Those Crusaders who are ready for Armegeddon!...and don't care who they sacrifice on the way!...And when I'm doing this, I also like to introduce a little levity, tweak their noses, yank their chains, inject some sarcasm and, hopefully, a little wit that flies over their heads. If you came around for the truth, good for you. If you came around the truth and the ability to give it back to the Right Wing lunatics, so much the better. With a media that's copped out, a Congress that is compliant, a government that is never mindful of those it governs, it is time for people like you and me to take back our country! |
| Interests | I'm a pretty passionate painter, cartoonist, writer and fighter for human rights! What gets me going is politics, the environment, preservation of species, continuation of the human race, economic order out of chaos, jobs for Americans fair play, a two party system that works!, democracy uber alles!, protection for the underdog, good education for everyone, non-privatization of Social Security, an end to Cabal's special interests. I advocate that our leader pass both a literacy test and have an IQ of at least a wombat!... |

What reason do you have to believe the earth is flat?
From our medieval approach to reasoning; an inability to analyse and parse information; our willingness to accept gov't and the media's point of view.
