Maybe it was growing up short. Maybe it was growing up with parents who encouraged me to question authority. Or maybe it was just the first time I read the Constitution. Either way, I've long had a need to express myself on a lot of different subjects, from politics, to music, to family, to why Babylon 5 is the greatest piece of science fiction ever put on televsion (and why Beast Wars isn't that far behind).
Sometimes I've felt compelled to express these opinions in blog or essay form.
A few of my favorites are provided here, occasionally reworked and edited for publication rather than blog posting. Comments and feedback always welcome of course, and more of my opinions and observations can be found over at The Lone Fuzzball. I would be happy to write for your site or publication on most topics you could name, with, again, my specialties being politics, especially foreign policy, civil liberties, and currency theory issues, and music, especially music education, and the LA/Orange County ska scenes. Contact me with your project.
