  • 童年的欢乐

    Living in Middle River, Maryland. Our home was one hundred feet from the water. I so enjoyed catching my breakfast, sun fish, nearly every morning. I loved riding my bicycle nearly every day.

    I particularly recall falling off to sleep at the sounds of wood crackling in a small cast-iron stove in my bedroom, the cherry-red glow given off by the burning wood, thus eliminating the need for a night light, and the wondrous smells given off by the burning wood.

  • 我最骄傲的成就

    For the last eight years I have been researching the evils of government, any and ALL governments, and writing of my findings on my website, www.takethebadwiththelousysite.wordpress.com.

    From the ages of 17 to 21 I was a volunteer firefighter and ambulance attendant for the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company, Joppa, Maryland.

  • 让世界变得更美好

    I believe the only way to make the world a better place is to remind myself and others of our obligations to each other, to always strive to respect the rights of others and always try to do whatever I can for another, even when they are people I do not know nor have ever met.

  • 我曾去过的国家和城市

    I lived in Maryland all of my life, with the exception of the last four years. I am now a permanent resident of New Mexico. My wife, Joy, and I were wed for 31 years. She passed in October, 2013. I just could not bear being around everything that reminded me of her.

  • 我是……的专家

    I wouldn't say I am an expert, but I am a talented and proficient writer, though unpublished.

  • 最喜欢的书籍/作者/电影

    Ayn Rand was one of my favorite authors: Atlas Shrugged, We The Living, For the New Intellectual, The Objectivist Epistemology, The Fountainhead.

    I love the TV series, Heartland and Royal Pains.

    I love the movies, Tommy Boy and Maid In Manhattan.

  • 我总是喜欢谈论……

    I don't necessarily enjoy talking about the evils of government, but I believe in the necessity of it, both as a reminder to myself and others of its evils and what can be done to abolish it.

  • 个人技能

    I've been told, since elementary school, of my writing skills.

  • 我希望人们知道更多，关于……

    The evils of governments, ALL governments. The evils of the belief that select small groups of people have the "right" to own and rule others.

  • 我对未来的感想

    Dismal. I see absolutely no hope for America...

  • 我对其他文化的兴趣

    I've always wanted to visit Italy and France. It just wasn't in the cards...

  • 个人挑战

    To outlive my cat, Tiki. We live together in an 18-foot travel trailer. I can't bear the thought of Tiki being trapped in this trailer, not being able to understand why I haven't returned or awakened, only to run out of food and water.

  • 10年后

    I'm 77 years old. I have congestive heart failure and failed five-bypass cardiac surgery. Not likely I'll see another ten years...

  • 过去更好

    It was much better when I was a child living in Middle River, Maryland. All was right with the world. There hasn't been too much right since that time in my life...

  • 我的与众不同之处

    One of the differences between myself and others is that I know I'm crazy!

  • 生命中的遗憾

    Ya got about twelve hours?

  • 我对人性的看法

    We're much like Lemmings. When a so-called political "leader" takes us where we know we shouldn't go, we just blindly follow along, joyously skipping toward a precipice.

  • 我感到担心……

    That we keep trusting in 500 strangers having access to the kinds of power they have in Washington, D.C. We've been doing this since the ending of the American Revolution, always expecting different or positive results, the hallmark of insanity.

  • 完善学校制度

    Why trust strangers to teach our children? HOME SCHOOL THEM!
