About Me

Biophiliac. B.S., Biology (honors). J.D., (sociometrics: hidden beliefs in law and religion). Post-grad U. Chicago with comparativist L. Sullivan, focus on biological and quantitative correlates of judgments in cases using religious and theological rules to judge disputes – comparing Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Native American traditions. Advanced theological study (blah, blah) at five graduate schools across Catholic, Inter-denominational, and Protestant families. If my Friends (Quakers) weren’t pacifists, they’d shoot me: because my learning makes me (as George Fox said of "learned" theologians) competent to crucify Jesus and everyone else in multiple languages. ___________________________________________________________ Practitioner. Not a publisher (praxis rocks; talk walks). Some peer review. Recently completed 1,100th case resolution on behalf of poor people, for clients from over a dozen ethnicities, nationalities, religious traditions -- using legal, counseling, and alternative dispute resolution practices (advocacy, client counseling, judgment-arbitration, mediation, negotiation, trial services, reconciliation-forgiveness, restorative justice).

You've broken up with your old band and are about to release your first solo album. Please write the liner notes:

“Liner notes?” -- for a screaming monkey? A pic is worth a thousand notes. Keep the original score (Popol Vuh). Keep the Amazon jungle sounds. Put a pic of me in the liner -- a screaming monkey -- alongside the primate-demonae face of Klaus Kinski -- me, the screaming monkey next-of-kin to Kinski and his evil lyrics: "I am the wrath of God! Who is with me?" (from, "Aquirre the Wrath of God").

Interests

• My children at war and work and school. Going out with Martha. Hanging out with friends. And Friends (Quakers). Lieben und arbeiten. Rock-climbing. Running. Hiking.
