My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other individuals interested in working towards the dismantling of the United States' Military-Industrial-Complex through active, non-violent, non-cooperation. That said, I've tried to maintain a liberal policy towards friend requests, rejecting only those who (1) Want to sell me something (2) Are over-the-top, have-you-no-self-respect? slutty (3) Into militarism, violence, and their own bigotries and (4) Say nothing about themselves in their profile, leading me to the conclusion that they lack even the imagination to MAKE SOMETHING UP. I have a tendency to apply these criteria with broad discretion.
