==Background==
I am an American ] writer of ], ], ], ], ], ], ], and ] descent. I have lived and/or traveled all over the ] and ], from ] to ], ] to ], ] to ], ] to ]. I currently live in ], ].

Eventually, I would like to settle in either New Orleans (probably in ]) or somewhere in the southwest of ] (probably in ]), both of which are near the top of my list of favorite places in the world.
-----

==Interests==
My areas of study and interest are quite diverse (many, though not all, of them can be seen in the userboxes to the right), and my hope and intention (time permitting) is to contribute to a great many articles on these topics.

===Decentralism===
*]: More refs; improve writing; move examples from individual articles.
I began work on a article, which will detail the history of the political philosophy of devolution, secession, community and regional empowerment, etc., advocated by ], ], ], ], ] et al.


*'']'':
At some point, articles are needed on other important 20th century American decentralists: ] and ] (both of whom were students and associates of Borsodi, Loomis later taking over ]), as well as ] and ] (currently Executive Director of the ]). Likewise, the article about ] is a stub, and talks only of his work as a journalist, saying nothing of him as an agrarian and decentralist. The ] article is also in need of a lot of work.

===Whitewashing anon.===
The articles about ], ], and ], need a lot of work, including expansion and referencing.

I moved "back to the land" to ], which makes more sense to me. But, it still needs work. Related articles that I have worked on include ], ], and ].

Looking at the ] article, I see that there is no article about ], or the book he authored with ], '']''. That is something I should address at some point in the future.

*2602:306:32A2:C7A0:2920:1F1E:1AAB:5C54
Some related work needs to be done in the ] article, which is currently little more than a stub. One thing the article needs is a listing of important books on the subject. This would include two books by ]: ''Devolutionary Notes'' and ''A Case For The Balkanization Of Practically Everybody''. This would also involve an expansion of the Zwerin article to reflect his work as an author.
