BioHistory majoring and political theory minoring junior at NYU. I'm interest in Paris from 1789 to 1871, interested in NYC, at all times, interested in FDR and interested in Soviet but pre-Stalin Russia.
I'm socialist, but decidedly not communist. In other words, I strongly believe in the nationalization of any company which produces something or gives a service which if lacked would put a person below the poverty line. I am also for people having much more political voice. Media-run popularity contests every four years do not count as political voice, thank you very much. However, I am strongly against the State ever withering away. It would make it far too easy for said culture to plunge headlong into something it would very quickly wish it hadn't done.
I'm lesbian. If you say I am a bad person because of this, I will call you a bigot and recommend either a hearty dose of separation of Church and State or a suspension of your church until it can follow the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or any more encompassing similar document thought up. On this note, I am anti-organized-religion, but I like discussing the mythology of it.
As for my personality, what can I say? I've been called both a cynic and an idealist. As far as I can tell, I'm cynical about what is and idealistic about what could be. I like discussing things like which theory of human nature has the most truth behind it. I also like discussing history and political theory.
I also have a small tea addiction (six pot of tea equals more caffeine than a can of Bawls, the type of caffeine I was previously addicted to!) and cat obsession (not for the same purpose of course).
