My Favorite Causes and their Websites
The Free State
Project
This site does have my personal
endorsement, for whatever that is worth. The Free State
Project is a libertarian movement that aims to put
20,000 liberty minded individuals on clean "Live Free or
Die" New Hampshire soil with the goal of reducing the
state governments role in almost all aspects of it's
citizens lives. (Note to homicidal maniacs, many
libertarians, including this one, are pro-gun,
pro-justice advocates and will not be adjusting the
state government to your liking, in fact you will
probably be a lot better off living anywhere else!)
Longhopes Donkey Shelter
This is a group in Bennett, Colorado that is dedicated to
the welfare of the standard donkey. The are headed up
by Kathy Dean, who is very well organized and doing things
right. The donkeys that find there way into Longhopes
are very fortunate because Longhopes will take care of them
and find them a good home for the rest of their lives.

Other Interests
- Equines - I am a city slicker by upbringing but
over the last few years I have become involved with horses and
donkeys.
They require a lot of attention and care to be healthy and
helpful companions. My personal journey into the world
of equines has left me with a growing appreciation of natural
horsemanship ideas. No offense to anyone currently in
the horse industry, but the vast majority of the way the
current horse industry cares for horses was developed in the
Dark Ages, and in many ways, the industry has not changed.
Here are a few sites that I have noted in my research as
more in my personal line of thinking about how a horse
should be treated.
- Photography - I am also an engineer, that pretty
much takes care of most basic impulses that people commonly
take as artistic. That said, photography involves
enough gadgetry and physics that a small spark of artistic
flair goes a long way behind the viewfinder.
- Government/Politics - Warning! The world
you are now living in is only a construct of what a select
number of others want you to see, feel, or think. Take the
red pill!
- Computers/Internet - Being part of
Generation X, I cut my teeth on an Apple IIe and despite
crashing more than a few machines over the years, I work
with computers all the time. I am constantly amazed at
what computers are used for and how they are advancing.
- Writing - Yes, I know engineers are not
supposed to be allowed around word processors or copy
machines, but I love to read and that has prodded me to
better my personal writing skills. Some of my favorite
writings are quotes. Their brevity is truly the soul of wit
Shakespeare spoke of.
- Birds - I have always loved watching
and interacting with birds. They are another wonderful
companion animal that needs humans to be humane.
