I am a middle-aged man with no political or religious affiliations. My world view is shaped by scientific rationalism, not irrational nationalism. My intellectual teeth have been cut on people like Carl Sagan, Noam Chomsky, Isaac Asimov, Ralph Nader, and Norman Finkelstein. I am interested in the Israel-Palestine conflict; my views are in concordance with those of the international community as expressed over the last few decades (two-state solution, Green Line borders, compensation for refugees, etc.). I have been a chessplayer for 40 years, and enjoy taking on all comers at the library and Starbucks!
