Welcome

Welcome to my user page!

I enjoy anything and everything, and that is part of why I love Wikipedia. I love people, and I love the Earth and animals, too. I believe strongly that it is not that hard to be nice to people; I have no patience for anyone who is not nice... It's the least you can do in life. :)

.

I could list hundreds of interests, but some major ones include:

  • Politics Animals Literature History Art Philosophy Vegetarianism Music Different countries and cultures People and the crazy things they do Ron Paul! Computers and technology Science People who accomplished significant things but are now lost to history

I used to live internationally and I want to again someday. I love to travel and see new places and meet people from different cultures.
