You bet, RP. "The Wizard of Socialism's judgement cometh, and that right soon." Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. But seriously, I didn't have to lay my vengeance upon anybody. Sixty-one per-cent of the delegates did that on their own. All I did was help point them on the path to righteousness. And that's really what it's all about.

oldgoat is a father, husband, brother, uncle, and assorted types of in-law. He works in the mental health field and is by nature an inactivist.
Interests include sleeping 'til noon, and trying to stay in harmony with the music of the spheres. This involves more peace and quiet than I usually get.
I've been posting on babble for most of it's history, and have thus come in contact with many very nice people. Quite a few of these I've been lucky enough to meet in person.

I'm a Canadian expatriate currently completely settled in Lima, Perъ, where I've lived for more than seven years. I previously lived in South Africa (until I was 4), Alberta, Boston, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and England. I've worked as a computer programmer, a typesetter, a journalist, and in communications and education; currently, I work for an international aid agency. In Canada, I was an activist in the peace movement (since a child during the Vietnamese war) and in the international development movement; and also in the NDP, for whom I also worked full-time for a while.
I resolutely use my real name for my online presence, although I have no problem with people who prefer to use avatars. I refuse to talk about myself in the third person.
I am very happily married to a lovely Peruvian activist (who is in Asia this week, so I feel lonely) and who complains occasionally about the fact that we always speak in Spanish at home although she would sometimes prefer to practice her English (which is excellent, since she worked for quite a few years in England). Babble is currently my English-language social life, though, since I don't hang out in expat circles.
I don't know what an average Canadian is, but I certainly consider myself to be a Canadian (now with Peruvian tendencies). I love Perъ, despite the multitude of problems, and worry that what I see on the streets of Lima will be the future of Canada if Canadians don't wise up soon.

I, according to at least the Roman Catholic Catechism, am the Supreme Being who made all things. This would suggest that my incompetence is only outstripped by a rather quirky sense of humour. I ask you therefore to be patient and mindful of the big picture, and only read catechisms for academic interest or if you find them funny.
I am omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. This isn't always as much fun as it may sound, and the burden of peoples expectations upon me sometimes weighs a bit.
I enjoy hanging around here though. Nice people.

Sleeping Sun is a prarie transplant in Silicon Valley North (snortle!) who yearns to see the stars again someday. Now working for federal government and bought a house with unbelievably awesome husband, it doesn't look like she'll be moving soon.
Sleeping Sun loves the outdoors and hiking and canoeing, and is very concerned about the environment, and still trying to reconcile her personal guilty pleasures with their inevitable cost. Also, she is currently rather put off with politics, but trying to stay on top of happenings wihout getting too frustrated.

Crippled is another token USian, born in Michigan, but raised all over the country. He is now mouldering away in a garret flat in Pennsylvania.
At an early age, he was lucky enough to win the love of wonderful man of some brilliance, and likewise had the unaccustomed wit to hold tight to him.
Crippled was many things in life. He narrowly missed being a soldier, and missed being an economist by a country mile.
Lacking a degree despite enrollment at a ridiculous number of universities, he worked at various times as a TV reporter, photographer, film critic, radio newscaster, filmmaker, photo lab tech, videotape editor, local TV news producer, and as a magazine editor. He retired at the top of his game-- well almost-- before age 40, when confronted with a serious neurological illness.
Now he writes largely unsaleable short stories and entirely unproduceable screenplays for his own amusement.
As for hobbies: he smokes too much, drinks a whole lot of coffee and bitches about what's wrong with the world.

There. Hope you're impressed, wuruba. This one was harder than most, not featuring disagreements of any sort.
The truth is, all Babble is Mr David Esterhazy of 12 Dump Road, Flin Flon, Manitoba, who discovered in the late 90s that he could email himself, and just sort of took it from there.
When he -- when I, dammit, on the Dole again -- when I don't do this for a day or two, I start hearing polar-bear voices in my head, which if you've never experienced it (I know you're not from here) is like starting a thread on why Hamas never uses gay suicide bombers.

Her attempts to emulate her hero Patsy Stone has led to her being mistaken for a drag queen, which is a real drag since she secretly aspires to drag kingdomhood.

Hippy elder statesman. Grandfather. Single. (unlucky in love, maybe, but pretty damn lucky in life!) I graduated from U of T (St. Mike's - Psychology) in '68, worked as a human rights cop for a year, then tuned in, turned on and dropped out. 10 years on the road searching for mystic highs, companionship and successful communes. Rejoined the "real" world for a couple of decades to raise a family, but now I'm semi-retired. I work when I can because I have to economically - and because my work, in my own time tempo, is fascinating and worthwhile. As a saying I saw recently goes, I feel "too old to lie."
I had been interested in politics since my youth and was a Young Liberal in the Trudeau era. When the whole world including my young children was threatened with nuclear annihilation during the 1980's I became a zealous anti-nuclear (weapons) advocate. I learned that our democratic system works just as advertised and that activism works, at least sometimes. I also have an "unnatural interest in geopolitical affairs." And a particular interest in domestic political currents within America, especially as they affect the rest of the world.

I'm one of the token Americans around here, a kinda-wished-I-were-Canadian kind of guy. I have not yet attained honorary Canadian status like AE has, but hey, hope springs eternal. I lived in Medicine Hat AB once upon a time. I am currently a grad student, studying for an MBA with a concentration in project management. I'll probably enter a theological seminary soon after I complete my MBA courses. I make a living as a nightstocker at a Henhouse Market grocery store in Prairie Village KS where locals can "buy fresh and buy local".
I've been involved in 3 businesses, 2 successful and the third...lemme see...let's say it was a learning experience. I've been a research director for a real estate development company as well. I've been politically active as a president of college Democrat at a major USAmerican university, as a member of Democratic county and state central committees and as a candidate for state legislature. My current political involvement is with the Kansas Progressive Caucus of the Democratic Party. I have a passionate interest in populist history, concepts of economic democracy, new urbanism, sustainable development and public philosophy in general.
Some unique things about me are that I once lived in an abandoned gurudwara in northeastern Thailand. Very roomy...palacial in fact. I also lived just across the street from the "Ho Chi Minh Memorial Clock" on Soonthornvichit Road in Nakhorn Phanom Thailand. I speak Thai and Lao and I can say "I love you" in Mandarin.

I was on DU (democratic underground)... we were discussing curling. There are quite of few 'mericans who have become addicted to the "sport". So...

Tommy Paine is not a professional of any type. Tommy works in a factory. Well, I'm employed in a factory. Have been for 25 years, which at one time might be a bragging point, but since passing the anniversary last month, seems more like a statement regarding stupidity than anything else.
Yep, ordinary working class guy who rubs that in with the professionals here at most opportunities.
I have working class cred, and they are sooooo jealous.
..........or so I imagine..........
But I try to not be so ordinary by hinting at my deviant sexual practices from time to time, engage in the science threads from time to time, (although, have you guys noticed I seem to be getting stupider these days?) and when I feel that curious combination of bravery and idiocy, contribute to a thread in the feminist forum.
I have secret intellectual crushes on Nonsuch, Lagatta, Andrean and Michelle--the first two because they be real smart-like, smarter 'an me, but I disagree with them almost always, and Andrean because she doesn't post often, is real smart and has "cool" all sewn up. Michelle because she is crazy enough to have tapped into my whacked sense of humour.
Oh, [i]HAD[/i], now I guess.
I try real hard to use reason and avoid fallacious arguments, untill we discuss crime and punishment-- then I channel "Marv" from "Sin City".
I adopted "Tommy Paine" because I think his political philosophy the best then and now, and because on other forums I go to I just have to drop the "e" and the name works well.
The thing that keeps babble from getting stupid is my sense of humour, and of course, my humility.

Dex's teeth itch when he speaks in the 3rd person.
I don't post much here anymore, but that might change once I get out from under the sword of Damocles that is my dissertation. If you wanted to sum up my entire life with one word it might be: edumacation or book-larnin’.
Grew up on a dairy farm near Neil Young's farmstead and went to elementary school [url=http://snipurl.com/n6gl]here[/url] and learned to hate the small town mentality and lack of diversity. A reunion of my graduating class would require a lot of people to be dug out of the ground or to be granted day passes. Went to high school [url=http://www.crest-wood.ca/]here[/url] and learned to love music. Went [url=http://www.mcmaster.ca/]here[/url] to get a biochem degree and realized how much I loved diversity in all things in life (also loved the city despite its nasty reputation). My dreams of a career in medicine having been thoroughly dashed on the rocks, I went [url=http://www.ualberta.ca/]here[/url] to get an MBA and fell in love with the weather (seriously, you can dress for the cold in AB, but there ain't nothing you can wear that helps you deal with the humidity in the summer or lack of sun in the winter in ON) and the mountains. I finally realized what I had known for most of my life: I love to teach. Thus, I headed south of the border to do my Piled high, Deep [url=http://www.purdue.edu/]here[/url]. While there, I met the love of my life, a witty and brilliant lady from Montreal. Financial and psychological pressures forced me to take a faculty position before finishing the degree, so I'm now a professor of entrepreneurship somewhere in the same state from which Alan Avans currently hails. I am in the belly of the beast that comprises the red states. (aside: in reading this thread I grew embarrassed because I realized that Alan had sent me a friendly PM months ago and I forgot to reply to it while under an avalanche of work. Sorry, Alan!)
I put a lot of effort into fighting discrimination in all of its forms. Once graduated, I plan to start work on a book highlighting the parallels among the various struggles for equality that have been and continue to be waged over the past century and a half or so here in North America. It’s to be a team project, and I intend to pay contributors for their time whether or not we can get it published. I’m hoping that there will be a kosher way of soliciting contributions through babble when the time comes (and also that there will be some interest in participating in the project as well).
Edited because I originaly capitalized kosher.
