Age: 56
Occupation: Classified substitute: Fresno Unified clerical, library technician; worked at Tower Records for over 20 years. Other odd jobs.
Hobbies: Reading about psychology, spirituality, history, poetry, doing photography, listening to music, yard art, travel.
Bee reader since: 1965.
How many letters: 23 since 2001.
Favorite topics: Understanding one's intent as a motivation to action, empathy (or lack thereof) in the average American citizen, hypocrisy of our politicians, taxes, spirituality versus dogma, complete lack of the average American to understand Psychology 101.
Why do you write? I offer my viewpoint as a challenge against those that would use money and power against the average American, the working class, the environment, and the civil rights of all American citizens.
Education: Fresno State: two years physics major (enjoy science and engineering), two years Russian studies (enjoy cultural studies), plus one year in Enology plus whatever. Took all photography classes at Fresno City College.
Family: Married 10 years to Mary; two cats; one brother; one sister; parents in mid eighties and still feisty.
Political philosophy: I lean toward but am not limited by what is often called the left. I suggest learning basic human psychology and empathy before you try to solve the world's problems. Liberty requires responsible citizens, not anarchy.
