About Me

Very married to a most beautiful and good hearted woman. In possession of two troubling teenagers who never compliment me on my singing voice?College Dropout, it still hurts to think about it. Wanted to go into secondary education but after seeing how little respect public education gets from the government, the media and a lot of parents, I am now a Honey Bucket Service Worker.I have very little time for new relationships - unless you want to go fishing? I spend most of my time with my immediate family and trying to touch base with old friends and extended family.My wife and children mean everything to me. I am a hard worker. Love to build stuff. Love being outdoors and observing wildlife and nature.I follow politics closely. I am very anxious that our county has slipped into a fascist corprotocracy. But, maybe enough Americans are finally wising up to the fact that this administration does not have the interest of "We the People" at heart: tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy during a time of war, no bid contracts for political buddies, union busting, attempted selling out social security, national dept, no corporate oversight or accountability, sending soldiers to die for oil futures. It's all kind of adding up. How anyone can still stand behind this administration is dumbfounding.

Television:

I watch very little TV. I get so disgusted with the corporate news media and the way they dumb down and mislead the Amercian public, I've pretty much stopped watching all TV. Why is Brittney Spears news? Instead of the news media informing you of the abundant corporate corruption in our country and in our government, (you know, protecting our democracy) they would rather fill your stomach and empty your mind with shallow reality shows and entertainment news. Instead of investigating the rationalizations to going to war with Iraq, they cheered it on and sold it to the American public.

Books:

Mostly read internet news sites. This is no no time for fiction... www.alternet.org www.crooksandliears.com www.thinkprogress.orgBut, American Facsist, by Chris Hedges is awesome. Impeach the President, by Peter Phillips is stunning. The Torilla Curtain, by TC Boyle is a must read. Armed Madhouse by Greg Palast
