.. COMPASSION IS MY WEAPON, APATHY IS FOR COWARDS...Interests: the animal kingdom (and animal rights), worker relations and socialism, class struggle, the emotional realm and mediums of expression, protest(or boycott) of oppressive and/or exploitative systems(public and private), Educated consumerism, reform of educational systems, reform of government, reform of the prison system, reform of social values, reform of class order, emansipation from commercial/material slavery, compassion for ALL living things (my belief is that all life is created equal), Music, cinematography, photography, science-fiction, surrealism, cyborgs, space, energy, nothingness, the absence of things or people, perception, other living beings and organic materials (yes... I love organic materials very much).

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people who get up off their arsses. People who want/need/try for change, people who ache and burn for change. people who have love and compassion for all living things. People who like to mosh. Hairy women. radical activists and radical thinkers.. militant environmentalists and anti-civilization types.. dirty people who eat trash (all bottom-feeders really). maybe i'd like to have an organic, fair-trade beer with Mahatma Gandhi, Jean-Paul Sartre, Yoko Ono, Jello Biafra, M-1 from Dead Prez... or my favorite film maker: Wong Kar Wai...Black Warrior RIVERKEEPER
