I guess, topic to topic, you could consider me a left-leaning person.

Like a lot of inwardly drawn young people, I spent a lot of time in libraries. At my high school, I often spent my lunch breaks there.

A rose trapped inside a fist.

I believe that capitalism, at least how it's used by major corporations, and environmental concerns are in opposition. To be ecologically aware, productivity of many things would slow down at least for awhile. Stockholders don't want to hear about the saving of the whales or some stream in Kentucky. They want a return on their investment.

Hating someone is giving them too much, just leave them alone.

The truth is an anti-war statement in itself.

One person's roar is another's whine, just as one person's music is another's unendurable noise.
