Passionate? I'm retired- I want a perfect day sunny, 80-85 degrees, my beer at a perfect 36-38 degrees F, and doing whatever I want to do and not have the door bell ring-" hello, we're in you neighborhood talking about the Bible. ,-----"

Im passionate about music. I like to play it on the guitar and sing.

I listen to it on my I pod at the gym.

And at home every week I will pick out a song. I record it on to pro tools on my computer.

Then I play the drums with the song. Then I play the bass guitar with the song. Then I sing back up

vocals and put on key boards.

I leave off the lead vocal and lead guitar.

Then I have the song with me playing all the parts and Its like being in a band with out

the arguments.

And I can take the songs put them on CD's and go into bars and play the music for money.

I can play them by myself or take a drummer and a bass player and play with the guide I have

created with pro tools.

not a captive

Getting my last lovely child off to college next month so I can go "native" again. Getting the rattlesnake out of the old chicken coop so I can use it for creating ferrous cement sculptures. Getting my crazy non-ex-witness husband to let me explore my own non-witness craziness now that I'm free of the Organization and the last of our seven kids. (yes, I know we're never free of them, but you know what I mean).

But the over-arching passion has been getting free for God's sake and sharing that joy with others.

Education, music, children, and dogs, probably in that order.

My kids are older now, so they've moved down on the list.

Also, I'm an activist for my Aspie (Aspergers) son, and although I love education, I hate the public school system. It's the biggest single injustice to our children right now that I can imagine.

I know, I used to work in it. The only job more scary is being a prison guard, but what do you expect when you through a few hundred emotionally immature individuals into an artificial social construct designed to foment competition about everything from academic skills, to looks, to popularity, wealth, athletic skills, and now, violence and sexual conquest?

It's a wonder any teenager comes out sane after that. Then you're supposed to learn all the skills you need to either get a job or hopefully go on to college, as neither one is nothing like high school.

You can't wonder why some teenagers act like criminals when they're in a daily situation somewhat comparable to prison. At best, a public school functions like the military, but without many of the real world incentives. At it's worst, like a prison.

The reason it functions like the military in some ways is that the original purpose of public schooling was to give the children of the poor adequate education to become factory workers and soldiers, because every society needs minimally educated drones.

The idea of encouraging academic excellence in public schools with scholarships and grants to attend college is a fairly recent one...only since the 60s. Some damn socialistic Democrats did that, as they had this idea that the better educated Americans were, the better it would be for the country's economy as a counter agent to poverty. Imagine that....prevention instead of mopping up financial disaster later...who'd have thought it?

I'm most passionate about my wife and our relationship, my adult son & daughters, our life out here in the forest with our animals . Music ( listen to it constantly ) , my San Fransisco Giants baseball team, hiking in the mountains, photography, and committed to helping people be free of cult mind control. That's basically it in a nutshell

As JWs, we were supposed to submerge our passions and only direct enthusiasm for Kingdumb interests.
