I hold an amateur radio license and like to tinker with electronic devices like radios, TV's and computers. I work in accounting and document imaging for a major shipping firm. Other things I like are cats, cars, firearms, target shooting, Playstation games (Final Fantasy VII and VIII are favorites along with car and motorcycle driving games), reading, history, alternate history, role playing games, old radio shows (like CBS Radio Mystery Theater, X Minus One, and Dimension X) and listening to radio talkshows.
Yes the 1984 parallels are frightening. That was some great foresight figuring that the US and USSR might swap roles all those years ago. And speaking of the fellows similar thought around the time of Sputnik I've always thought the space race to be a weird situation. Both the US and the Soviet programs were pretty controlled by their governments . . . but even given those restrictions our more "private industry" approach still won out.
Yes, I accept your friend request. Honestly, I am not a Conservative. I'm a registered Independent Of the Lou Dobbs mold and was even a Green Party member, who voted for Ralph Nader twice. I also, however, am a passionate defender of the USA and the American people, especially when I see the same things (Invasion, Occupation, Pillaging) that 100s of 1000s of US troops dies to prevent in World War II, now being allowed, with the invasion from Mexico and other countries. I also, Conservatively you might say, support gun rights (I have a concealed weapons permit), support the death penalty (I think it isn't harsh enough), and staunchly oppose "gay" ie. queer, rights. Hope you'll check out my future articles, and feel free to comment, as well as in some of my past ones. I'll look for yours too, and visit in occasionally.
