- Bio
- I am a liberal hiding out in Idaho/Eastern Washington possibly the most conservative area of the U.S. I taught preschool handicapped children, kindergarten, second, fourth and sixth grades as well as seventh, and eighth grade and high school. I taught and was a single houseparent at a residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed children and young sex offenders.
**************************************
I coached boys and girls basketball, baseball and golf for over thirty years. I've had 106 foster kids, operated a runaway shelter near the Canadian border and operated a weekly newspaper of my own creation. I played college baseball, and lived in Mexico for ten months in my young 20’s which changed my entire outlook on life.
**************************************
I have been to 48 of the 50 states and all but six major league baseball parks. I was a back-to-the earth hippie who lived on a commune for two years before the goats ate my 2.5 acre garden. I lost my first teaching job on a coin flip when the school levy failed and one other teacher and I were tied for the last layoff spot. I have been across Canada via rail twice and all over the country using Amtrak. I have been married so many times I have rice burns on my face and don’t smoke much dope anymore.
**************************************
I don’t drink enough, think George Bush is the worst president in history, and won’t allow Fox News to be broadcast in my home. I am to the left of most liberals, moving toward promoting complete anarchy. I currently am self-employed and provide mental health services to six adult schizophrenic clients.
I cheat at golf and have won five poker tournaments on the Internet.
*************************************
My favorite political quote is the one at Robert Kennedy Jr.'s grave site:
"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
**************************************
We are all Ripples of some sort.
