Music
..Name it! Enya to Concrete blonde, Ozzy to Beethoven, 50's to present. Of course not everything is personally worth listening to. If i find music that sparks my interests i will listen to and enjoy it. I like to keep my mind open to many forms of music and not limit myself to a particular genre. However Violent Gang bangn' shoot your parents heavy slaughter metal with out a note of rhythm or insightful tone I consider questionable.

Heroes
..Current Heroes are my son, my wife, and the rest of my family. A promising Civilization and Global Understanding run a close second.
About me: ..It is absolutely trivial what you should know about me, and absolutely essential what you should know about yourself. Knowing about me will bring you no closer to finding out who you truly are, bringing you even further from finding out anything about me or anyone else. I do not believe I have any Classification or any specific Categorization as far as religion or any other ridiculous designation of prejudice but should one need a word for your classification and categorical specifications, Human might suffice for purposes of conversation and amusement.
I enjoy Neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, biology, history, theology, anthropology, sociobiology, theoretical physics, evolutionary biology/psychology, cosmology, astronomy, quantum mechanics, virology, microbiology, chemistry, anatomy, zoology, marine biology/zoology, evolutionary biology, linguistics, etymology, environmental biology/psychology, ecology, artificial intelligence, embryonic stem cell research, genetics and the human and animal genome projects, poetry, language, writing, philosophy and comparative religion which = me, A Theoretical Philosopher, Natural observer, skeptical inquirer, and a humanistic contemplative.
True Spirit
The greatest victory comes from the integrity and truth that resides inside us all. Such as the beauty a flower holds within its petals, so will your inner light shine on the world and reveal a true spirit. A spirit, not of words and clay, not of medalions and trinkets but of pure energy and vitality all its own. The greatest deception ever made was one that admonished external events and figures over the honest and capable beauty of the human soul. A soul as honest and pure as yours.
Who I'd like to meet: ..Irrelevant in the grand scheme of things but if it's necessary I believe there to be a few people I'd like to meet. God, any god for that matter will have to be at the top of my list. Seeing that we are in a politically insane society I would also like to include a Goddess also. Would not like to offend anyone of a certain demographic or profile would we. There is the matter of catching up with; Shakespeare, Milton, Voltaire, Jiddu Krishnamurti, U.G. Krishnamurti, Marylyn Monroe, Elvis, Caesar, Aristotle, Socrates, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Salvador Dali, Morihei Ueshiba.
Of the Living I would enjoy meeting; Kevin Spacey, Denise Miller, Robert Redford, Enya, Steven Tyler, Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Thich Nhat Hanh, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Pope John Paul II and the Dalai Lama.
I would not like to exclude anyone else that feels the interest in meeting me. So if you have not been pre-selecting to dwell amongst the top rungs of our society and culture please do not exclude yourself from this list. I believe you and I are just as important as anyone else, do not let material wealth and status persuade you into the illusion of importance. The ethos of our current society is severely corrupt and ill fated with varying degrees of potential and a distant glimmer of hope.

For 30 years, Jan Haagensen has been harassed and her farm in PA invaded with impunity by hunters, and her NO HUNTING signs and fences repeatedly torn down. 10 years ago, she had had enough, and approached the trespassing hunters to ask them to leave, and asked a hunter engaged in illegal hunting to cease and desist. When a hunter threatened to shoot her and her mother, she called police, which sided chummily with the hunters, and later charged her with 5 counts of "hunter harassment". The "kangaroo court" convicted her on all 5 counts. Being an attorney, she appealed to the appellate court and won, and is now challenging the PA Hunter Harassment Statute in federal court as being unconstitutional for inhibiting free speech and violating property rights. If she wins, doors will be open for challenging the equally unconstitutional Hunter Harassment laws of other states.
Jan will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this Friday, July 3, 3-4pm-ET/12-1pm-PT, online live at www.CoOpRadio.org. If you missed it, go to www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr where the interviews are archived. Call-in hotline 1-604-684-7561.

Choose to accept all that comes
your way and in it you will find great value. Resist the urge to impose
your judgment on the people, places, things and events that surround
you, and you'll connect with many more possibilities.
To make
the very best of any situation, you must first acknowledge and accept
the reality of what it is. That provides you with a valuable starting
point from which you can move in any direction you choose.
To
deny or to fight against what has already happened will merely waste
your energy and resources. To wish that things had been different, or
to pretend that they are, will do you no good.
Instead,
visualize what can be in all the richness and detail that you can
imagine. Then find a step you can take right now that will lead you in
the direction of your dream.
Losers argue about what has
happened and who is at fault, and put their energy into resentment for
what is. Winners choose the life they wish to create, and find a way to
move toward it from any situation.
This moment is here and now,
and this moment is what it is. Accept it fully, with enthusiasm and
gratitude, and take a big step in the direction of your dream.

Personally, I
hate parking lots --- but we have so many of them! Sitting there, doing nothing but heating up
the atmosphere, so solar parking lots! Community-sustained,
secure, renewable electricity! Bonus =
community jobs! All over America! So I’m back at university learning GIS to
analyze each town’s paved parking areas (Greensboro
NC (pop 247,000) has 10.27 square miles of it that will power over 500,000
homes (every year) if covered with photovoltaics!) and I’m starting
