Half Norwegian, Half Waccamaw Sioux (the Falling Star People, Easternmost of the Siouan Tribes, mortal enemies of Eastern Cherokee and Miamis).
Reside: Alabama for a good long while.
Education: BA (Phil/Psych), MA (Public Health), Univ of Alabama, 1998, 2000. 1L Univ of South Dakota School of Law (2004)
Likes: my daughter (Meathead) and spouse (the AngryDaisy), musical composition, Indian Human Rights, scientific evidence in forensic settings, housing policy, Dirty South rap, my Groenendahl Sheepdog (Haldir), militant leftist propoganda of all media, chicken, civil rights, good bourbon, UA athletics (ROLL TIDE), good beer (read: not American mass-market, wussy pale pilsners), hard rainstorms every five p.m. during Alabama's summer, lush green forests impossibly thick with vegetation and wildlife, Diet Dr. Pepper, quadruple shot expressos, and my jacked-up, black 1997 Ford Ranger with 360k miles and almost as many bumperstickers!
Dislikes: Hunting, FOX "news", Viagra and home mortgage SPAM, the NBA, motor "sports", ATV's, Hummers, the Republican Party, soulless corporate EMO garbage, the Alabama Supreme Court and the Alabama Consitution of 1901, long hours for appreciably lower wages than I am worth, people that deny the fact that the post-Civil War Reconstruction led to economic aparthied against 93% of the population (black and white) who did not profit from slavery and cared not one whit about maintaining the gentry class, people that deny that the imperialism, land grabs, genocide, rape, starvation and chemical/biological warfare of Manifest Destiny under Grant and Indian Removal under Jackson et al led to a deep moral wound in this nation that can neither be forgiven nor repaired, but should never be forgotten so as to guide us ethically in future national policy. (Paying attention all of you neocon, chickenhawks?)
