I'm a stoner from South Jersey, college grad, former teacher and current ne'er-do-well. That's the basic gist of it. I use a lot of time to read books on philosophy and socio-economics. These are topics that I will debate endlessly if given the chance. I'll add more to this as it comes up.
Just finished reading this...
Its an interesting compilation of essays by various left-wing authors about the economic crisis and alternative solutions. There's a particularly good speech from President Evo Morales of Bolivia, the first indigenous president Bolivia has ever had.
He's implemented some excellent socialist movements in his country. Of course, it causes the West (or North, as they call us) to demonize him, but he's been on the Daily Show... so maybe we won't be calling him the next Hitler.
