I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I love my friends. I love music. I am against all forms of discrimination involving gender, color, religion, and sexual orientation. I would say that I am a male feminist/equalist, in other words, I can't stand it when people objectify themselves for the attraction of others; whether male or female. I also can't stand it when men view women as objects or women view men as objects. I love animals so I don't eat them. I like living on the earth, so I do what I can to live in a way that is the least damaging to "it" (for lack of a proper neuter noun). I like hanging out with my friends and talking about politics, philosophy, and music. What else.......hmmmmmmmm...... ... .

My Interests

I like politics. Specifically, I like to focus on civil liberties and environmental policy. I want to see more accountability from consumers and policy makers on the corporations that dominate the political sphere. I also like skateboarding, I love music (especially when it is something new and unique), I like to read (mostly non-fiction). As far as reading goes, I do like fiction and poetry, but I prefer to be learning something. That holds true regardless of if I'm learning about philosophy, science, politics, religion, or an individual.

Utopia

So far, this is a great book.  I just finished a section that I would separate as the "materialism" section.  The Utopians put value only on what can be used for the common good of society.&...
