Introduction Liberal (as opposed to conservative), with communist and Realist (as opposed to Liberal theory) leanings. You politicos know what I mean. For the rest, I can say that I'm open-minded, with a heart that cares deeply about some things, yet is often stopped by a brain that reminds me of the realities of a Hobbesian world.
Favorite Movies Scarface, The Godfather (all of them), Fight Club, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Matrix (the first one), The Usual Suspects, Dead Poets Society, The Blues Brothers (the old one)
Favorite Music Dance, Trance, Techno, Acid, Deep Acid, Goa, Anthems are my guilty pleasure.
Favorite Books 1984, Brave New World (& Revisited), Democracy and Redistribution, Dante's Inferno, The Tao of Pooh, Orientalism, Whuthering Heights, The Wreched of the Earth, and any of these authors: Mernissi, Wadud, Tetreault, Mearsheimer, Waltz, Sachedina, Benedict Anderson, Khalidi, Quandt, Barthes, Kant, Luciani, Foucault, Hodgeson, Gilpin, Schelling, Marx, Freud, Sagan, Freidman, Suny, Wendt, Chong, Thucidides, St. Augustine, El-Saadawi, Shakespeare, Kanafani, Abdul-Baki, Renan, Machavelli, Salame, and the list goes on. Huntington stinks.

You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?

Because you can't whistle away your fear.
