Firstly I am a conservative.
To me conservatism is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Although I am tolerant to those with opposing views, my tolerance vanishes when I encounter Social Engineering, Political Correctness, weasel words and newspeak.
To me "a challenge" is to climb Mount Everest barefooted wearing a tee-shirt, anything less is just life. "Moving forward" is what happens when I put my car in "Drive", "focus" is what I do to my binoculars when the ship on the horizon look fuzzy and "coming together" is something that (should) happen in the bedroom, if my memory serves me right.
I was born in Israel (actually it was still called "Palestine" when I was born) an I now live on my own in Sydney, Australia.
I am now retired after many years in shipping. I spent a few years at sea, sailing as an officer in the merchant navy but I spent most of my working life ashore operating ships, driving them from my desk if you wish.
I read a lot, write a bit, and "play" with my computers, meaning maintaining my website, programming and help friends with computer problems, if I can. I also tinker with video editing, mostly for
my website.
I am here as a MySpace "refugee" and hope to reconnect with my old friends there as well as acquire new ones
