Dawkins isn’t afraid of searching out the truth, no matter where it may lead, or how unpopular it might be. I love how he is a leading advocate for atheism, secular humanism, and freethinkers around the world. I learned more about evolution from the first third of The Blind Watchmaker than I did in all of high school and college biology. It made so much sense afterwards, it made me wonder how I ever believed all the Christian creationism indoctrinization from my childhood. The God Delusion helped me see why atheists and secular humanists need to champion advocacy, and the harm that sitting idly by does. He’s an amazing man, and I hope I get to meet him some day.

I love our chats. I’ve never made such a good friend over the net, and we HAVE to meet. =)

I think Reford is an amazing man for his committment to the environment, conservation, and the health of our the planet. It shows in his efforts as a member of the Board of Trustees for the NRDC, and I wish there were more people like him.

I work in the financial services industry (brokerage). I have a crap load of undergrad but still haven’t graduated since I keep changing majors and colleges. A list of majors: Environmental and Natural Resource Management, Agricultural Sales and Management, Agricultural Education, Information Networking Management, and Computer Science. I’m not in school now, but I really want to go back. I’m thinking of applying to the U of M, Twin Cities and finishing my Computer Science degree. I’m a transsexual, and still working on the financing to transition. Still not PT or anything since I don’t think I could take getting clocked. So I keep working and trying to get the cash to manage debt and transitioning.
