I am 62, (8/4/09), happily married, now retired, had last owned “Hip Computers,” a small shop, in Key West, Florida.

My undergraduate education was in Zoology and Chemistry, and I attended The University of Louisville School of Dentistry, from which I dropped out, after two years, in good standing.  (At that time my 6 year old son, whose time with me was being cut by my need to study, needed his father, as I needed him… more than the world needed another doctor.)

An Over-educated-progressive-liberal-tree-hugging-music-loving-deadhead-ex-suburbanite-baby-boomer-hippie.  I have never stopped learning.  Through the internet/web, the greatest library in history, (which I’ve be on since 1972, [it wasn’t called the Internet back then,]) I’ve gained a great deal of knowledge concerning the disaster of “globalization,” and its impact on socio-economic environments, as well as the physical environment.

The more I learn, and I have always considered myself “informed & active” on these issues, the more I am amazed, if not shocked, at learning things - every day - that I simply didn’t have a clue about.  Nor most people it turns out, if my emails are any indication.

I am angry at my nation’s citizens for their allowing of the crimes and destructions by the very-very-few - and scared that they are going to allow the very-very-few to get away with their crimes after all.  Aren’t you?”
