I Enjoy :Plants, Photography,Traveling,Geneology,Hiking, and a wide variety of music but I mostly listen to Hip Hop now.
I lean towards Liberal Republicanism but I am not tied to the label. I abhor racism and fanatics of any sort no matter what your cause. I believe in a "Live and Let Live" attitude.
I practice tolerance whether I agree with your opinions or not I believe you have a right to them. I just don't have to listen all the time. :)
