I have great faith in mankind's future, but I don't neglect the numerous problems that human race has at present and still will have to overcome in the generations and centuries ahead.
And I am convinced that the Internet is a great start!!
I came to Sevilla, Spain to do a course of three months to learn spanish. That was 20 years ago! I learned my spanish ;-)
My Philosophy
What Gives Me Hope
Internet! THEEE instrument to gather, propagate and stimulate collective human consciousness and creativity through webs like this.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by

--- 1. Double or triple TAX on Publicity! ---
I have come to the conclusion that this so called consumer-society in reality is a producer-society. The producers are the ones that psychologically force people into buying stress with their overkill of publicity.
If a company is so eager to spend money to push it's stuff more than the competitor's, have them REALLY pay for it.
This extra money would be used for fundamental social goals:
1. Education,
2. Health care,
3. Support underdeveloped countries.
This last point is, in fact: a small additional payment for the resources that the company, directly or indirectly, "bought" from those countries for peanuts in the first place.

--- 2. Legalize Marijuana ------
And not only for "special" reasons.
No more crime scene, no more "doorway function" to hard drugs and more relaxed, happy and loving people (maybe even less alcohol abuse and aggression).
By the way this would be taxable with the same goals as before.
What/who changed my life and why
Impossible to mention just one, two or three. There are too many people and elements that have influenced in the course of my life, bit by bit.
But ok...: my parents in the first place, lots of friends along the way who have woken up my interest for Astronomy and science in general, with whom I have shared and learned from regarding the way to see ourselves, others and the society. From others I picked up a sense of humor for the absurd.
