Let's Meet Our Good Pal:
flyonthewallzz
Born 1958:
Father, former Husband, carpenter, workaholic, pacifist, jig maker, photographer. CAD draftsman.
FORMER: hitchhiker, apple picker, furniture mover, faculty brat, non-driver, self employed, vegetarian, pot smoker.
I AM A:
Tree hugger who makes piles of sawdust.
Luddite with a huge carbon footprint.
Conservative radical, liberal libertarian, with a reactionary view to current policies.
Non-practicing Quaker and Third order Franciscan.
I THINK THAT:
Prisons are an expensive way to deal with poverty.
There should be diversity in the ecosystem of politics.
The common resources of this nation are being given away too freely.
Too much treasure is wasted on the machines of war and courage is not defined by killing an enemy.
