Introduction	I'm very interested in the difference between what is said and what is done by politicians and corporations. My focus is currently on people without equal rights. Particularly Palestinians and Gays. I don't belong to either group, but have dear friends in each group and am more and more amazed at the devices people use to deny these people equal rights. My biggest two struggles are figuring out how to combat Zionism without becoming a Jew and Israeli hater. Next, how do you combat religious people who claim "marriage" as their property and refuse to see that civil unions do not equal the same thing as the marriages they are allowed. I am a non-believer and am constantly stunned by peoples ability to believe in imaginary beings. I'm also working on not being an asshole due to natural feeling of a superiority that comes with my own beliefs.
Interests	Outdoor sports, politics, cultures, travel. I am very interested in what what process people use in making decisions.
Favorite Movies	I confess a love of well done spy and war movies. I'm less and less patient with the love scenes. I want to get back to the action. What does that mean???
Favorite Music	I like clearly defined voices and instruments. I like a contrast of unintelligible cacophony and clearly defined sound in the same piece. I like emerging styles and cultural music.
Favorite Books	Biographies. Stories of courage and struggle.

That can't really be a fish you're standing on, can it?

Yes, it is. I'm taking it home so I can reach the cookies on the top shelf.
