<P>Born 1946 in Winchester VA, USA. US Navy Vietnam era veteran.</P>
<P>After stint in Navy became anti-war hippie, ran off to the West Coast ...
lived in communes, hippie school buses... started writing about holy men,
countercultural figures, rock stars and the American scene in 1971 ... lived in
Boulder Colorado until mid 1980s ... 14 years in all ... became a Marxist and a
half-assed Buddhist ... Traveled to Central America to write about third World
issues...</P>
<P>Moved to the Coeur d'Alene Indian reservation in Idaho, built a cabin, lived
without electricity, farmed with horses for seven years ... tended reservation
bar (The Bald Eagle Bar), wrote for regional newspapers... generally festered on
life in America ... Moved to Moscow, Idaho, worked on third rate newspaper there
... Then moved to Eugene Oregon, worked for an international magazine
corporation pushing insecticides and pesticides to farmers worldwide.</P>
<P>Then back to hometown of Winchester VA to settle some scores with the
bigoted, murderous redneck town I grew up in. I love'em but they need a good ass
kicking.</P>
<P>Died in 2000 when George Bush got elected ... died along with 275 million
other Americans ... Plan to rise again from the dead when he is tossed out
...maybe reincarnate as a Commie terrorist on Wall Street ... maybe as a sex
worker in Amsterdam ... can't decide ... both have their advantages.</P>

text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<BR><BR>I'm totally perplexed by the people
rushing out to buy guns after the election. As if on Jan 20 obama will totally
ban gun ownership? Did I miss something in the 2 years of presidential
campaigning? And then all the other lemmings rushing over the cliff, too. What
next? Stockpiling Bibles and confederate flags? <BR><BR>And speaking of guns and
bibles, i just finished an amazing book: Deerhunting with Jesus: Dispatches from
America's Class War / Joe Bageant. Here's an amazon link if you want to read
more lucid reviews than i can compose (am so not a morning person!) <BR><A
