Blatantly, unabashedly pro-democracy. Ex-Michigan farmboy makin' it work since 1958 (born in 1953, but coasted for a few years). Proud and concerned father, grandfather, dog dad, and atheist. Emigrated from New Mexico high desert to New Jersey lake, spring 2022. Used to be a whitewater canoeist, now happy paddling a quiet lake.
