Single white metro, buddhist, enjoys long walks on the beach, must love dogs, organic foods, yoga, and volkswagens. Just kidding...
I'm a Filipino raised on Guam. First generation Fil-Am. Family-oriented (that includes extended family relations and family-friends, for all you caucasians out there). Happily married husband and father of two.
I value originality and clarity of expression, integrity, and fairness. I believe in the harmony of science and intelligent design, direct democracy, social healthcare, defined benefit pensions, organized labor, social security as it is (I want someone to pay for my retirement too since I have to pay for the Boomers), fully-subsidized secondary education, meritocracy (but only after affirmative action effectively creates a proportionally diverse workplace first), and extra-terrestrials. I'm not a communist, i'm an egalitarian.
Peeves: Double standards. The electoral college. Gerrymandering. Lobbyists. Special interests. Lobbyists for special interests. Ownership societies. Proprietary technology that doesn't conform to universal standards (oxymoronic?). Products that require subsequent purchases to retain any value (i.e. Glade plugin refills, water purifier filters, or swiffer pads). I don't appreciate unsolicited advertising, like trailers at movies that I paid admission for, or previews that can't be skipped on DVD's that I own, or the stupid license plate frames or dealership stickers on YOUR car with your auto dealers name on it. They aren't paying me for my precious advertising real estate.
