About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see what comes next.

ABOUT ME

I am a fat, friendly, funky fellow!

PHILOSOPHY

I am a Traditional Roman Catholic, who tries to live according to the dictates of my faith, as well as T'swa and Druidic Philosophy. As Jesus once said "If you would love me, love my children"(read: everyone!) and "You shall love your neighbor as yourself". I am an Anarcho-Libertarian: It is my belief that coercive, territorial Government does NOTHING good that could not be done better, cheaper and with greater respect for freedom by individuals and voluntary associations; and that it's bad results are so egrigious as to require the abolition of the "State" for freedom to blossom.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the most amazing thing I have ever done, was playing in the surf with five porpoises at Imperial Beach, California, at sunset, and watching them actually playing with the sunbeams as the sun went down.
The most Amazing thing I have ever seen (twice!) was the birth of my children.
