Bio
I'm a Democrat, with strong libertarian ideals, offering no apologies for my pro-capitalist leanings, provided that as a quid pro quo, the following are provided: equal protection under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation; easy access to education and health care, regardless of ability to pay; respect for the environment, and maintenance of a strong middle class, by limiting the number of jobs and services off-shored, as well as maintaining a secure, safe national infrastructure. I'm an absolutist re: the First Amendment: no state censorship of any kind; no establishment of a religion. Although I am an Atheist, I am not hostile towards organized religion as long as it remains separate from government and that it cannot be used as a means of affecting public policy or lawmaking. I am pro-choice, although opposed to abortion as birth control. I DO NOT support race/gender based affirmative action programs, hate crimes legislation and oppose all forms of illegal immigration.
Interests: Aside from being a fairly political lawyer, I am also an artist (mixed media-mostly on paper); I volunteer teaching adults how to read; I love sailing, cycling, skiing, scuba diving, weight training, vegetarianism, music (from disposable pop to opera), reading, looking at the stars on a tropical beach, warm rain, messy bedrooms and coloring outside the lines.
