i am a gullible, tall, balding middle-aged man with a few extra pounds. i have three great kids in their 20s and a beautiful partner named margueritte. we've lived together for a dozen years in the redwoods on the north coast of california. i like to garden, daydream, read, write, paint, sing, dance, walk in the woods or on the beach and hang out at home with my pets. on the surface my life is pleasant though i am acutely aware of the deep misery and inequality others experience. once again -- and not for the last time -- i apologize to my children for handing them a world where petty nationalists and spiritual fundamentalists rage like a mindless mob in a reprehensible tyranny of socially induced psychopathic serial abuse of culture. historians will judge our era as just another brutal and primitive time before the evolution of a transcendent tolerance. hate baiting spiritual fascists will reap an intollerant reputation as they have sown and, same as it was in the seventies, as long as i have the privilege of hanging out on this small planet i will still be imagining all the people sharing all the world, because my dream is the right dream, and the control freaks were wrong then, they're wrong now, and they'll still be wrong when the world finally comes together as one.
