evolutionary

About Me

hopelessly optimistic in the face of certain disaster; obsessed with biodiversity and thoroughly disgusted by its loss; fond of analyzing human behavior in terms of its adaptability; fond of making people question religion; big fan of indian food, especially south indian and other asian cuisinesI edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

botany, ecology, evolution, politics, indie and foreign films, ethnic foods (especially indian and thai), vegetarianism, social justice, hiking, striving to be a good person, music (it's really the only recreational drug i partake of)

I'd like to meet:

anyone who i can have a good chat with; people with truly open minds, not just ones who say they do; people who respect life of all kinds and try to llive their lives in a manner least harmful to other life; people who respect my atheism/paganism/determinism, and believe me, a lot of people don't; people who are looking for meaningful relationships, not just partiers who become friends fast and enemies faster: you know who you are. anyone interested in rational thinking and discovering the truth about the universe, regardless of its possible conflict with accepted beliefs and values, and who feels that its sometimes acceptable to make enemies with people on the basis of a strongly held opinion (because, in some disagreements, there can only be one right or truthful position; an especially obvious example: National Socialist versus humanist)
