Hello all!

I met Jane briefly at LosCon, a science fiction convention. In addition to clearly enjoying herself she impressed my with her quick mind and social conscience. Yes - he comments and questions were what I would have made if I had thought to. (I think of the clever response hours too late.).

Being a citizen of humanity rather than one country seems so right to me. It is difficult for me to even understand those who don't get it.

I was a civil roghts worker at one time. My kids did learn about the damage people are doing to the earth.

My current mission is to work with the california Nurses Association to improve the health of people in California, and the world.

We have acheived much, however money and power oriented corporations, politicians, and businesses see us as a threat.

I love music and any opportunity to sing with others.

My focus in life has been heavily centered on conservation and animal rights, but my recent travels to South Africa really opened my eyes to the "outside" world.  I feel that if you are going to conserve the environmental and its animal species, you have to make sure the "human" ones are healthy too.  They are the ultimate caretakers of their habitat.

I was born in the U.S.A. (no, I'm not Bruce Springstein), served for two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, and have lived in Mexico for the past twenty years. I've been involved in anti-war movements and in actions to improve the environment. I'm also active in the Asociacion de Scouts of Mexico.

I guess you could say I've always tried to look at things globally, rther than from a narrow, nationalistic persective. It's hard for me to "Imagine" as John Lennon suggested, a world without countries, but perhaps we can try.

Hola everyone

Yes! "Imagine" is my favourite song. I believe it is all very possible! And I am dedicated to a world like the one John Lennon described in that song!

Yes, I see myself as a human first, and "Australian", or any other label, second. The wise thinker Jiddu Krishnamurti talked about this. (I very much recommend you check out the prolific and poignant works of that man.) He claimed that nations, religious groups, organizations and so on all divide us from each other. Here is a relevant quote from Percy Bysshe Shelley:

Peace & friendship
