For most of my life I was as apathetic and apolitical as most U.S. citizens. I didn’t vote and didn’t care. I thought the government and various institutions just ran themselves.
My attitude changed after I had worked for the Seattle School District for a decade. For ten years I had witnessed the most extraordinary incompetence, corruption and tyranny. I finally decided enough was enough and began to investigate. That was the beginning of my career as an activist.
I have run for public office six times, thrice for a seat on the Seattle School Board (1999, 2003 and 2007) and thrice for Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction (2000, 2004 and 2008). My investigations, combined with my campaigns, revealed that liberal Seattle is just as corrupt as conservative Washington, D.C. or Houston, Texas.
Though I have never been elected, I’ve made my mark, ranking as one of the most prominent critics of Billysoft (Bill Gates + Microsoft) and George W. Bush. Of course, the overarching enemy is corporate corruption. I was the first person in Seattle, if not the nation, to warn that public education is being privatized, something most teachers and parents still don’t seem to grasp.
I’m also noted for taking on the corrupt media, particularly the Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Seattle Weekly.
But am I anti-everything? Not at all. I work hard to educate the public and have come to believe that politics can even be fun. One of my heroes is Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, who has made millions of people around the world look at politics in a new light.
Since politics can be so messy, I deal with it very carefully on my general audience websites. If you’re an adult who wants to know where to find my adult political sites, feel free to contact me.
