It's me, BUTCH, stranger in a strange land. Age 80, born in 1944. Navy Officer at 19, navigated a repair ship then entered submarine service at age 22. I'm fit but hurt a lot. A queer man who lives alone in South Vancouver. NOT SHY but VERY RECLUSIVE. A tree huger and planet saver. A VISUAL ARTIST/PHOTOGRAPHER into THEORETICAL PARTICLE PHYSICS... Einstein kind of stuff.
Experience has shown me (I'm 80) that most humans are rather shallow hypocrites who don't practice what they preach. Or, as Paul Simon said, "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" (The Boxer). I'm a vocal atheist as I consider all religions to be fundamentally evil, and legalized crime. I avoid religious types as poorly educated, or superstitious dangerous humans with no sense of logic. I'm very well educated and old. I can be very, very, very BLUNT... kinda like Socrates. His fellow citizens didn't much like him. In fact, they ordered him to kill himself or they would do it.
