my beliefs

a rich guy invented god

you should be allowed to grow any plant on Earth

as long as there are nations........there will be war

it is the right of every Earthling to consume pure food and water

we are being dumbed-down

greed is the root of all evil

there is only one political party in America...........the military-industrial demorepublcrats

women should be respected

children should be loved

the elderly should be highly valued

as I think of more, I'll add them, but this is a good start

  so...............my name is Alan.  I live in the Kensington area of Philadelphia, Pa.; an urban area not too far from Center City, and very close to the Brooklyn of Philly.........Fishtown.  when my partner, Sara, and I first came here it was very rough;  drugs, drinking, crime, and all-around negativity.  we have worked hard to change things around here, mentoring the young,  cleaning up, and sometimes driving away derelicts.  
  we run a mini urban farm next to our home, comprising the adjoining lot.  we grow organically in raised beds, and produce a nice amount of food for our use, and for sharing with neighbors.  
  and speaking of neighbors, we are getting a lot of new ones!  "gentry," I believe they are called.  I love them!  waited a long time for this.

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

of our own.............

A government of our own is our natural right: And when a man seriously reflects on the precariousness of human affairs, he will become convinced, that it is infinitely wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power, than to trust such an interesting event to time and chance.
