By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from.

For me the two biggest issues are climate change and animal welfare/animal agriculture. And oddly enough animal agriculture is such a contributor to climate change. According to the United Nations, 25% of climate change comes from animal agriculture, so every car, bus, boat, truck, airplane combined has less CO2 and methane emissions than animal agriculture.

Research performed on animals is, by definition, scientifically unsound.

My interest in gospel music and liturgical art and Biblically-inspired literature has nothing to do with organised religion and everything to do with human beings trying to figure out their place on this planet.

Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.

If I had to label myself now, I'd call myself a Taoist-Christian-agnostic quantum mechanic.

The progressive movement needs more crazy and amoral/immoral right-wing politicians and pundits like Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.
