Activist Passions

Will you carry your protest sign beside mine?

St-Exupery said "Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." For some folks that would be religion, but for me it's progressive activism. Exuberant rallies and tedious conferences to make a better world. Will you talk social theory with me late into the night? Until spring '06 I was among the sleeping masses, paralyzed by rhetoric. Lakoff's "elephant" book began to dispel my fog. Now I no longer watch corporate news media -- just Alternet, Colbert, BookTV, and the like. Orwell's "1984" explains my "Make Love Not War" bumper sticker, and maybe the other stickers too. I've become a zealot for Waldman's "we're all in this together." I'm helping to spread the word in any way I can - web pages, emails, phone calls, door to door. It feels great to be part of a caring community. I have hope but not faith: the outcome of the great struggle is not inevitable. So we're all needed. But I'm not stressed out -- I'm enjoying my Zen strawberries, and my Powdermilk Biscuits get lots of ketchup. I like strange new ideas - e.g., Kurzweil and the Mayan calendar are close in predictions of when The Current Age will end. I was encouraged by "The Lord of the Rings": good triumphs not through greater weaponry but because evil is blinded and disunited by its greed. My soulmate needn't be my clone, needn't attend the same meetings - we can build different parts of the vision. Just share my undisneyfied reality for a while.I want conversation, sometimes silly, sometimes serious - what are you reading, thinking, feeling? And I listen, too, though you wouldn't guess it from this longwinded profile. I may seem a tiger online, but in person I'm still too unassuming to ask a stranger for a date (hence this ad). I'm very verbal, and seeking same; let there be emails to fill the air. Grammar and punctuation a plus but not essential. Friendship first, but chemistry is crucial; distant penpals need not app
