| Introduction | --Irish-heritaged eldest son of a civil-libertarian ex-Marine economist and an artistic, activist librarian, I am a Southern Catholic leftist who served in the 22,973rd Irregular Non-uniformed Unregistered Antiwar Conspiracy Cohort stationed on detached duty in Houston, Toronto, Austin, Purcellville, Lovettsville, Middleburg and Mt. Pleasant from 1967 to 1977, some of it under Sen. Eugene McCarthy (DFL-MN). I helped found Pacifica’s KPFT in Houston just in time for its transmitters to be twice blown up by the police, er, Klan. My work has been published in the Texas Observer and the Progressive Populist. I was recalled to the 22,973rd's honorable colors in dismay at the Democrats’ sorry inability to resist the Iraq war. I have an irrefutable economic motive for using a pseudonym. Any impression of modesty this might give is doubtless exaggerated. |
