<b>Beliefs</b><br>I am spiritual, but not religious. I respect and believe in equal rights for all people regardless their race, creed, religion, and so forth. I believe that the natural universe is dependent upon all living creatures. Each creature is important to our world's structure and therefore deserve care, compassion and preservation. <br><br>I am middle-of-the-road politcally. I research candidates and make an educated decision. I am not devoted to a particular political party.
