I have issues with the Sierra Club. I don't think they pay enough to attention to the poor especially in undeveloped countries. Some conservation efforts have enormous impact on the poor and there's not much being done to mitigate those impacts. I don't think there's enough being done for urban poor who are paying dearly in lead and mercury poisoning. I think the Sierra Club is isolated from the broader view of what we do to maintain our environment for future generations. However, I am a lifetime member and I do support their main goals.
7. Which of my interests needs explaining?
not too many, but why absinthe?
I've always had a mild fascination with hallucinogens. Except for pot, I have never tried any. On my visit to New Orleans, I came upon the Absinthe Bar that was closed at the time for renovations. It occurred to me that I had no idea what absinthe was and did some internet research. It began to seem romantic and mysterious. I thought it interesting how Jean Lanfray motivated many countries to make it illegal. He murdered his wife after going on quite a drinking spree. Which included a very little bit of absinthe and yet absinthe and absinthe alone got blamed.
10. Which of my userpics suits me best?
I just associate the gimp stud userpic with you; do you have others?
Sure, take a look at my user profile page and then click on the userpic. Then you can see my other pictures, I have a few xango images and a picture of me and serene etc.
