I'm here to build a world in which we all get our human rights (like food, clean water and health care). Who's with me?
I'm talking about more democracy everywhere: democratising the economy, democratising the workplace, sharing our world's wealth and power amongst everyone, so that no-one is poor or oppressed. : )
What am I like? I'm slim and I like my body.
I don't have brown, blue, green or hazel eyes. My eye-colour is closest to grey, but with a bit of green and other colours in the mix.
I see wisdom in many religions and also in many atheist ideas and other philosophical ideas.
I'm single, I don't smoke and I don't drink.
I am into martial-arts, into African-American culture, and into making the world a better place for all of us. Plus I am free-thinking, communicative and assertive.
I am affectionate. I am sensual. I am pretty uninhibited when it comes to sex; and when I have a girlfriend, I admire and compliment her on her accomplishments and her good points.
I might take up arms in defence of labor unionists in Colombia (they assassinate unionists there) - who's with me? Are there effective alternatives?

What/who changed my life and why
There have been many: Star Wars, the Communist Manifesto, "Dragon - the Bruce Lee Story", the documentary "Manufacturing Consent - Noam Chomsky and the Media", my favourite comedy and anthropological commentary - "the Gods Must Be Crazy"; doing the Landmark Forum, plus the Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi, Che Guevara, Malcolm X, 2PAC... because I opened my heart & mind to them, was inspired, and learned from them
