My name is Guy Marsh, and I reside in southern California. I am 62-years-old. I am, politically speaking, a thirty-year member of the Socialist Labor Party of America (est. 1890), a past member of the Peace & Freedom Party (1988-1990), a past member of the Democratic Party (1982-198, and a past member of the California Republican Party (1976-1982). I am also an atheist Unitarian, a bodybuilder, a surfer, a heavy metal devotee, a Raiders fan, a Yankees fan, and a Lakers fan. I am very happily married. And, being a part of the TNR community, my wife and I care for feral cats. I'm looking forward to interacting with as many of you as possible. Be well.
I apologize for the happy-face emoticon that appears in place of what should be the number "8." That portion should read "... a past member of the Democratic Party (1982-198." Why the "8" that I entered manifested as an emoticon is something that I do not understand. Again, I apologize.
Welcome! The issue can be resolved by placing a space between the 8 and the ). You will find a pretty significant right lean to the discussions here — although many have fled since the results of the election — so a few more voices on the left are always welcome.
How do you do, cd8ed? Thank you very much for the tip. That was thoughtful of you, and I appreciate it. Yes, much like talk radio, social media, internet bulletin boards have long seemed to be dominated by the Right. But that's all right. As a Marxist, I don't mind that at all. Thank you again, cd8ed. It is delightful to have made your acquaintance. And I look forward to interacting with you in the future.
