cleare

Politically, I'm either Green or a progressive Democrat dependent on where I'm living at the time. I've lived in New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, California (Southern), Kentucky and now in Missouri.
My hot-button issues are preservation of and improvement to our democratic processes and institutions, the critical need for quality public education for everyone and the environment. Bottomline, if we haven't got clean air to breathe, water to drink and healthy food to eat and a decent education, nothing much else matters
Professionally, I'm a media curator and very interested in public access and media literacy.
Privately, I practice both christian (non-evangelical) and pagan traditions. I'm passionate about my family and friends, music (I play guitar), film, TV, books, travel, art & design, antiques, history and pets.
