The Repressed 50s and 60s
 |
Even in 1950 I was protesting! Unfortunately, 1950s repressive socialization kept me pretty quiet for the next 18 years (except in classes where I was always shooting off my mouth and being a smart ass). . |

In 1964 I saw the Beatles twice, August 30 at the Convention Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey (see sign) and September 20 at New York City's Paramount theater (see real live Beatles--or at least their drums). My sister and I and our two friends went exploring in New York, when the guard caught us they ran down the stairs and into the Beatles reception room--seeing two live Beatles. We ran down the hall and ended up in the lobby. The screaming of thousands of women was the end of repression and the renewal of womens' lib! My story has been included in the book "We're Going to See the Beatles" published in 2008 and available at Amazon.Com. |  |
 After
graduation from North Plainfield High School in 1966, I attended Ohio
Wesleyan University for 3 years, dropping out after seeing the musical
"HAIR" in New York. I spent a year doing sex, drugs and rock
and roll in Cambridge Massachusetts before finishing a B.A. in
political science at Wayne State University. Once I moved to
New York City - and got involved with the radical feminist movement - I
developed quite
a "f*ck you"-with-a-smile-attitude, which I brought to standup comedy
and
political folk rock songs, as well as plays and musical comedies
(unproduced) promoting a hippie feminist anti-establishment progressive
message. I hung out with musicians and comedians
and partied a lot,
exploring consciousness in reading, writing and reality. I also went to
lots of radical feminist meetings
and protests. It was at this point I started writing a book which
became
the outline for my work in progress CONSCIOUSNESS
AND
COMMUNITY.
I was a talented dilettante jumping from new adventure to new challenge
to
new project. |

From 1979 - Activism Junkie
After the March 1979
Three
Mile Island nuclear disaster I got serious about political action and,
after
reading a bunch of books and meeting a lot of activists, left and
right,
became a libertarian and a Gandhian in the fall of 1979. During these
years
of activism I have worked on many large and high profile single issue
campaigns
and demonstrations with feminist, peace, green/bioregional, radical
decentralize,
drug legalization, sex workers rights, Second Amendment and Waco
Justice
groups. That's when I realized that the bottom line of
liberty is
the
right to form your own private communities that actualize the values
that
matter most to you--and that the right to secession is the most
important
political right. See my site Secession.Net |

In 1987 I founded Pro-Choice Libertarians (reconstituted in 2002) which ensured that 1998 Libertarian Presidential Candidate Ron Paul did not use his campaign to promote a pet issue: outlawing all abortion through a Constitutional Amendment. |

In 1998 and 1999 I was an organizer with local peace and street theater groups protesting the US bombings of Iraq and Yugoslavia.
 |
After Juanita Broadderick's revelation about Clinton raping her, Clinton tried to re-establish his leadership by bombing Yugoslavia -- as I reminded everyone during a spring 1999 demonstration vs. that war. (Photo appeared on inner cover of a 1999 Alternative Press Review. |
 |
My NUKE WAR THIS WEEK? sign probably ensured this small 1999 anti-Yugoslavia bombing demonstration got covered in the Washington Post. |
At
the June 1999 post-war
"Not
a Victory" march - a title I suggested to the organizing group
- I burned a Washington Post subscription form
to
protest the
paper's support for Clinton's War.

| As
year 2000-2001 Chair of the Libertarian Party of the District of
Columbia (see
photos), I revived the party which then ran two city-wide
candidates
who brought the
LPDC its highest vote total ever. I also helped the year 2000 Harry
Browne
Presidential campaign effort by organizing a successful demonstration
against
NBC's Meet the Press when it refused to put Harry
Browne in a
debate
with third party presidential candidates Pat Buchanan and Ralph
Nader.
Two weeks later Meet the Press relented and
interviewed Browne.
I
also was named a Harry
Browne
"Volunteer of the Week."
Worrying about Nuke War and Terrorism
As my last act as LPDC chair I invited journalist Jon Utley to speak at the June 16, 2001 Libertarian Party of DC Convention on the topic "US Military Intervention and the Terrorist Threat." It proved to be a prophetic choice. |

Around
5:30 am on June 30, 2001 I awoke abruptly from a frightening
dream. It was sufficiently scary that I wrote in my diary
that
night: "dreamed looked out window and saw huge tower of brown
smoke--realized it was a nuke
bomb (no flash) and saw the shock wave coming towards me..."
