My description:
‘Hello - I am a retired eccentric eclectic wild man that hopes that love and connection will heal my heart from a tragic loss of my precious wife of nineteen years that was my soul mate. I cry every time I think about her. It’s coming on two years. We had it made. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Don’t look back. Let’s make something happen. One of my favorite nonviolent direct actions involved Advanced Genetic Sciences (AGS)with offices in Oakland CA. (Pause for Bill Maher. l consider myself an infomaniac. If you don’t like the news, go out and make some or your own.) AGS had created a genetically modified pseudomonus bacterium that would allow plants in the fields to grow in freezing conditions without damaging the crops.!They were approved to spray a five acre farm in Brentwood on the Sacramento River delta with this stuff that was sprayed. Earth First did a bold nonviolent direct action action of pulling all of the strawberry plants out of the ground. We decided not to take the plants away to avoid theft charges. AGS brought a flotilla of workers at o’dark thirty to plug the plants back in the ground for their photo-op. 2%of the plants lived. We got a photo-op of a worker in a fully self container moon suit doing the first legal atmospheric release of this GMO on the front page of the NY Times. Years later after I had chaired a meeting of the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) in Albany, I went to the Triple Rock Brewery in Berkeley to collate my papers and documents I received from the PhD’s on the Laboratory Analysis Committee for the report I wrote for the CCOF Board of Directors. It was Friday afternoon and as the place filled up three men approached me and asked if they could join me. “Of course” I said as I hurriedly gathered my documents. “Oh, you’re that guy from Earth First that kiboshed our Ice Minus experiment. I want you to know - We’re glad you stopped us.” Said Loren C (an Italian name I couldn’t spell or say) the UC Berkeley geneticist that created the GMO bacterium. “We were really mad at the time. The bad press you got us dried up our funding.” The simple pleasures. Love the Earth!
Seeking:
I seek an explicitly honest open minded connection with reality to explore the depths of our differences. Consensus is what I live and advocate. The only true democracy. We can always agree to disagree. Agree to absolute freedom and autonomy. ‘Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to loose.” Thank you Janis Joplin. Sustainable organically produced foods and a plastic free world is my passion. A natural Earth centric world view is a goal. Loving life is an essential element. My prior long term relationship was satisfied by our acknowledgment that we were so different and she chose to by very low-key rather than match and pace with me. It worked quite well.
