READ ZINES! Why? Walk into virtually any corporate-owned bookstore in America, and you won't find anything on any shelf that wasn't designed, mass-produced, ordered, delivered, and stocked primarily for the purpose of making a profit and/or manipulating you!

Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.
Who I'd like to meet:
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leonardo Da Vinci, Mary & Richard Leakey, Jerry Garcia, John F Kennedy, Malcolm X, Jim Morrison, Siddartha Gautama, Mohammed, Noam Chomsky, Alan Ginsberg, Henry David Thoreau, Jesus, Mother Jones, Sigmund Freud, Leo Tolstoy, Emma Goldman, John Stuart Mill, Timothy Leary, Frederick Nietzsche, Gandhi, Che Guevara, Bob Dylan, T.S. Eliot, David Ben-Gurion, John Maynard Keynes, Ho Chi Minh, Winston Churchill, Aristotle, Mohandas Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Benjamin Franklin, Aristotle, Mikhail Gorbachev, Adolf Hitler, Martin Luther King, CS Lewis, Abraham Lincoln, Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini, Lenin, Nelson Mandela, Sir Isaac Newton, Pope John Paul II, Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Margaret Thatcher, Bruce Lee, Alan Turing, Mao Zedong, Jimi Hendrix...and many others important in shaping our world

I have been writing about our vital presidential election for the past year. I have compiled my top ten stories - five praising Obama and five blasting McCain-Palin. If you have not voted, learn why Obama deserves your vote. If you already voted for Barack - these will reinforce the choice you made!!

Obama Movement has Massive Momentum
Why Barack is Best - Read His Own Words
Obama Should Be Willing to Legalize Marijuana
Michelle Obama Will be Awesome and Admirable First Woman!!
Jesus was a Community Organizer - Pontius Pilate was a Governor!!

Old McCain Should Buy a Farm - Not Become President
McCain is Too Crazy to Become President
McCain’s Body Language Reveals Hostility, Arrogance and Dishonesty
Sarah Swears, Spends and Stomps Like a Drunken Sailor
Todd Palin is a Domestic Terrorist who Hates America
