Ok, I get it. My username always appears red because I have no user profile, which it is up to me to provide. Well, here it is.

I try to live as a Christian, but I'm not always successful. I think organized religion and obstinate sectarianism are both very dangerous to freedom. I think God speaks to individuals, not through one or a few special prophets. I seek not world peace, but individual peace. I consider myself a Libertarian, and I sympathize with Thoreau. I admire the American founding fathers and Abe Lincoln. I think Americans would be happier if they consumed products made locally by small businesses, especially food, but including all manner of goods and services. I am impressed with the way New Zealand's Labor Party has reformed their government and revitalized their economy. I want to: build a house of straw bales with a concrete tile roof, solar and wind powered electricity generation, a composting toilet, and a masonry furnace; raise salad bar beef and sheep, pastured hogs and poultry, organic vegetables, grains and fruits, and keep bees, on a polycultural, self-sufficient family-operated farm; prototype and market an electronic book device; start a beginner's flight school using primary gliders and light-sport aircraft to teach kids and kids-at-heart.
