I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm an ordinary guy, a large man, a little worn, and I enjoy intelligent people, conversation, boating and fishing. Travel is a good topic. I also enjoy joint problem solving, and sorting through dillemas. People are wonderous, and fascinate me. So many have so much potential, and do not know how to develop it. I am surprised at how many women underestimate themselves. I have helped people, mostly men, but some women as well, recognize their potential, and coached them toward fulfillment.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Vibrant, intelligent people

Why not a qualified woman?

Can a woman make it in politics and be a leader without being somebody's wife, like Clinton, or daughter  like Palosi & or without being the result of political machine training like Granholm? In...

Slavery once again, with my thanks

"Give me liberty or give me death!"  Hmmm, what about slavery instead? I'm no anthropologist or apologist. I'm merely a man of Slavic descent, thinking aloud. Evolution or creation?  Not m...
