"Say a prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages."-Tennessee Williams
MAUDE: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be?
HAROLD: I don't know. One of these, maybe.
MAUDE: Why do you say that?
HAROLD: Because they're all alike.
MAUDE: Oooh, but they're *not*. Look...See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All *kinds* of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are *this*,
[she points to a daisy]
...yet allow themselves be treated as *that*
[she gestures to a field of daisies]
"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. "-e.e. cummings, 1955
I am considerably nerdy, silly, odd, intellectual, and humorous.
I can also be described as very easy going, calm, polite, open minded, honest, loyal, strong, compassionate, opinionated, sarcastic and shy (at first) person. I consider myself a very moral and decent person, but not in a religious or judgemental way. I do not confuse morality with religion. I believe in treating people how I would like to be treated and being true to myself. I am always supporting democratic/liberal causes, free speech, personal freedom/responsibility, and human and animal rights. I can find humor in anything. I love to laugh and make people laugh. I especially love sarcasm, irony, and the politically incorrect...It takes a lot to shock me!
I know tons of useless and obscure information about everything.

What Gives Me Hope
Hope gives me hope...
"Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come." -Anne Lamott
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
If I could change the USA, every legal citizen would have FREE health care and a FREE education. (Including College or University) Not one person would go hungry or homeless because of goverment/tax funded food and housing programs that provide a standard of living much better than what is provided now under such programs. I would also raise minimum wage of the American workers.
