Mini Bio

I'm a web designer and developer trying to create positive change in the world.

I get my news from
  • www.socialistworker.org
  • www.theguardian.co.uk
  • www.nytimes.com

My political hero is Rosa Luxemburg

My political philosophy is Marxism

I love debating about Nature vs Nurture & Personal Responsibility

Our political system is in bed with our economic system.

My dream for the future is to live in a society that values people over profit.

Lately I'm feeling Intense. What a month!

Favorite non-fiction Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage by Stephanie Coontz

Favorite fiction LAMB: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore

There's too much coverage of Bickering between candidates

There's too little coverage of World affairs. I don't even know who makes Japan run.
