| Introduction | I am an unremarkable person. For many years I worked in one of the caring professions, helping clients access benefits and a measure of natural justice. About 15 years ago my partner walked out, plunging me into depression that eventually lifted but led to a legacy of agoraphobia and panic attacks. I seldom leave my home as a result but, thanks to the Internet, I can stay informed and, from the security of my writing room, can put words together that might just help to make this world of ours a better place. |

| Favorite Movies | It is difficult or me to attend films because of panic attacks in public places, but I dolove "Reds", "Avatar" and "Inconvenient Truth". I also like anything by Michael Moore, especially "Gunning for Columbine." |
