[zman]

1. How old are you?
37

2. Marital status
Have a GF

3. Do you have kids?
No

4. Where do you live? Arvada, Colorado Originally from NYC

5. What is your occupation?
PC /Network Administrator

6. Do you smoke?
Sometimes It depends on how green and crystally it is ;-)

7. What way do you "lean" politically?
I am registered as an independent but I tend to lean to the left politically. If the right shows me policy that is not laced with a world policeman /colonization or religious infused ideology I am willing to listen

8. Are you religious?
Raised Catholic, I believe in the concept of a higher power, but I think that religion is a moral compass that has become bastardized by man for his/her own personal gain.

9. What do you drive?
A pimped out 2003 Chevy cavalier...lmao!! It was the ex gf's car that she gave to me.

10. What would you consider your personality?
I think that most would classify me as an intelligent, very down to earth, opinionated, open minded and gregarious person with a strong sense of self and a fair amount of sarcasm. My mom says that sarcasm is our family middle name.
I also have lots of acquaintances, but few really close friends. I do not feel that life is a popularity contest. For me it is all about quality and not quantity. Who you choose to have sex with, who you worship, what color you are or where you come from is of no consequence to me as long as you are good people

11. Do you believe in global warming?
Yes I do to a certain degree. I do believe that the planet does go through changes that affect our climate. I also think that since the onset of the Industrial Revolution our world has been too focused on bigger, better and faster. When combined with the population levels of the world I am sure that these factors do in fact contribute to the negatives that affect Climate change. We are all stewards of the earth but we do not all act like it sometimes.

12. Tell us something about yourself that we'd never guess.
Well this is an anonymous (for the most part) message board so I could tell people anything I can conjure up but I prefer honesty above all. Both of my parents are ex NYPD (My mom was one of the first female Police Offices in NYC. Ok not really about me.). I was a cab driver for a time after graduating college. I am a Scotch snob and love the Kind :fro:

full-time student about to get my B.S. in Psychology and Political Science; soon going to be a full-time student on the road to a Ph.D.
6. Do you smoke?

7. What way do you "lean" politically?
"small-l" libertarian; social issues are more important than economic ones for me so I vote Democrat most of the time
8. Are you religious?
nope
9. What do you drive?
nothing
10. What would you consider your personality? (outgoing, shy, bubbly, etc.)
since I'm a psych major I'll use the Big Five:
Openness: very high
Conscientiousness: moderately low
Extraversion: mildly low
Agreeableness: moderately high
Neuroticism: very low
11. Do you believe in global warming?
I believe that we are contributing, but much less than most people think. Melting ice caps probably have more to do with the underground volcanic formations that are erupting like crazy right now, and rising temperatures cause increasing CO2 emissions, not the other way around. Temperatures and CO2 levels were much higher several times in the past. That said, I deeply care about the environment and want to reduce and eventually eliminate our dependence on oil. My ideal energy future is nuclear to create energy and electric motors to use it. As it stands I have never had a car or license and I either walk or bike everywhere (and plan to get an electric car if I can).
12. Tell us something about yourself that we'd never guess.
I'll get back to you on that one. . . .
