Oh, God!!! I over-wrote in the About Me section, so just check there for Interests and such.I can really over-do it sometimes.
Passionate, but not completely mad, people who know and care about history, politics, art, cats, the state of world events and culture, but who have enough of a sense of humour and perspective to laugh at the more absurd aspects.Patience, especially with Yours Truly, is an added plus.BTW, did I mention I'm a Ten-Cent Socialist(Socialist by life experience and emotional conviction, not so much on doctrine)???? I didn't think so.However, like to meet people of various political persuasions for a good bit of civilised debate(No, Bill O'Reilly doesn't count as Civilised).As for anything else, just come as you are, and we'll un-pack souls and compare 'em.

Just check the About Me section, yet again.Radio
Third Verse, Worse Than The First!!!!Which means, in Donald-Speak, just check the About Me section yet again!!!!
Here's something I DIDN'T cover in the About Me section(Thank God!!!)!!!Love science-fiction shows, including the original Star Trek series, Gerry Anderson's UFO and Space:1999 series(Hey, I know they're Hokey, but I like some of the music and other aspects of the shows), as well as Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda(not so much a fan of the stories and plots, but of the actresses on the show, as well as the inter-action between most of the cast members), as well as Monty Python's Flying Circus, Dave Allen At Large(a brilliant comedy show by an equally brilliant Irish comedian who had his hey-day in Britain back in the mid-and late '70's), the Avengers, and, on a far more contemporary note, the various Law And Order series, especially the original series and Law And Order:Criminal Intent, in which Vincent D'Onofrio does a brilliant re-interpretation of Columbo for contemporary audiences.Been nearly two years since I last up-dated any portion of this profile, but, among the tv shows I've since discovered since writing this in October, 2004, is a Canadian import called Da Vinci's Inquest. Love the show, the realistic feel that it has, the quality of the acting, and the endings which dare not to wrap everything up in one tidy little package.Those of you who are Canadian or who've seen the show will know precisely what I'm talking about.Also love documentaries and historical films, but generally can't stand "reality" shows, which are generally about as real, to me, as any badly-scripted sit-com currently running.
Used to do a bunch of reading, mainly historical accounts or about politics, film, what have you, but have fallen off of that in the past year or so.Just means that I have to get back to my local library and start devouring books again, that's all.Can't think of any favourite authors right now, but I think that's more a memory problem on my part than anything else.From the historical end of the spectrum, Bernard Fall and Alastair Horne are two of my favourites.From novels, Fyodor Dostoevsky would be another.From politics, Randolph Bourne and Gabriel Ezekiel are among my favourites from that end.
Heroes????Don't have any of those, sorry!!!!But, I do have people whom I intensely admire, like Mark Twain, Randolph Bourne(early 20th-Century American writer, commentator and radical who was disabled), Elvis Costello, and quite a number of other folks who escape me right at this moment!!!!
