About Victor83 - Male, 41

I am very much into writing, reading, and music. I love sports. I love the peace and solitude of fishing. I have a great interest in the dirt that we call politics. I believe that virtually every human being has something good to offer mankind, and that government in general has very little... “It doesn’t require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people. What does it mean whether you hold the deed or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property? Such machinery already exists. The government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute. Every businessman has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.” —Ronald Reagan

Favorite Music & Artists:

Diverse musical tastes. I like R&B, classical, rock, bluegrass, and even some country. Mozart, Schubert, Wagner, most Beethoven. Prince is my favorite overall, in terms of modern musicians; but I also love the Stones, Van Halen, the Eagles, Hendrix and AC/DC. I am also a fan of Robert Plant and think Ry Cooder is genius. The rest...too numerous to mention.

Though I am red white and blue through and through, not a big fan of American authors and writing, other than Twain,Hemingway, and a few others. I love the poetry of Neruda and Lorca.
