I'm Bruce Driggers, a Freethinker / Libertarian Activist / Restaurant Manager / Writer / Deadhead / Militant Peacenik and a bona-fide card-carrying member of the bipedal primate family known as homo sapiens sapiens.
More specifically, I'm approaching fifty, feeling twenty, twice-divorced, and a proud father of two quite incredible daughters. I cohabitate with four great dogs, one cat, and one horse (well, he stays outside). We've all had our shots.
I love backpacking and hiking, dancing to live music, reading and writing, and fighting for my causes. Not necessarily in that order:)
I am confident in my conviction that love is the most powerful force in the world, and the most under-utilized.
I am committed to Reason and Humanist Ethics. Yes, I believe in "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." And I take it seriously. Especially the last part:).
I am a "pure" Libertarian, a radical anarcho-capitalist who believes that unquestioning faith in the cult of omnipotent government has led humanity to unspeakable horror and atrocities. I abhor Statism and value individualism and multiculturalism.
I support the International Society for Individual Liberty (ISIL) the Ludwig von Mises Institute, Amnesty International and the Nature Conservancy, among many others. I am a friend to any activist that wants to work for a better world without force or coercion.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet up with anyone who's into live music, wilderness, stimulating conversation and positive vibrations.
I'd love to meet women who are brainy, sensuous, passionate, honest, adventurous, and unafraid to be unconventional.
And I want to network with intelligent, like-minded people from all walks of life who value freedom and are committed to peaceful activism.
Organizations
I proudly belong to or support the following activist and educational organizations:
In twenty years he'll have a mnnument built by the citizens of Socialist Republic of the United States ( SRUS). In 50 years- you and I will just be a memory to a few.
