"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others"
- Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille

I'm a big fan of Noam Chomsky . On his website you can find lectures and essays about politics and U.S. foreign policy of which he is an ardent critic. You may disagree with his morals and ethics (if you have no soul and only care about money and the bottom line i.e. George Bush) but if you do a little research you will find that his reporting of the history of U.S. Foreign Policy is both accurate and disturbing.

More about me? Okay:
I'm an actor, a writer, I'm a Naturalist-Humanist-Existentialist-Anarchist-Atheist.
That is to say that I believe that a personal supernatural Absolute Reality probably does not exist. I believe that Mankind is the ultimate arbiter in this world, our lives have no other meaning aside from the meaning we give it, and it is an individual's unequivocal human right as a moral, autonomous, and fully interdependent being to challenge authority, especially authority that threatens to curb or rescind our individual autonomy.What I want to do, because you gotta have goals, is promote an Anarchist philosophy . That is to say, I believe that the best government is no government, or Anarchy, literally "Without Rulers," or more specifically known as Direct Democracy, Libertarian Socialism, or Industrial Collectivization (which is Anarcho-Syndicalism, specifically). I believe that government is inherently evil and fascist and ultimately concerned with concentrating power among a very small number of privileged elites. I also believe that this is an inevitable step in human society, that new technologies and advancements will eventually, if not already, out pace bloated and greedy bureaucracy as well as heavily centralized political structures. Without vigilance, education, and empowerment, we will easily fall again to despotism.
One of my favorite quotes from Albert Einstein:
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice."
