I have long been active in and supportive of conservation and historical preservation causes.

I am a registered Democrat (there are only two Republicans in Maryland and they're both in office) and two-time unsuccessful candidate for office myself.

Just because your whole life is going to hell doesn't mean you have to walk there.

...it is in the very fundamentals of evil that one always condemns it when they see it but rationalizes it when they do it.

I write novels and other things.

I do not read SF as much as I used to. It's too much like a busman's holiday.

First, people don't read novels off screens, and they don't have a tendency to shell out real money for books when they don't retain anything physically for their money.
