Made it safely into the Left corner (wipes brow) - thanks for having me.

I've read through a lot of the posts and I've discovered that this forum has the power of time-travel ... I look at the clock and four hours of darkness have past while I've been browsing!

Anyway, thought I'd introduce myself and say Hello.

I'm a Londoner living in the West Country - bit of a recluse - read books, study, think about things deeply - watch a lot of films, play the guitar, do a bit of writing - SF and poetry. I live alone with my dog Riff, a border collie with a white patch over his left eye. I listen to the Sex Pistols when I want to relax. True. For some reason that I don't quite understand, the band really chill me out. The dog hates it though - I have to play Henryk Gorecki to make it up to him.

If you've read some of my posts, you probably realize that I've got a problem with the right. I try to understand where they're coming from, but a lack of compassion can really rile me. On the whole though, I think I'm pretty quiet.

Look forward to new debate (I'll try to keep up) - and finding out a bit more about the rest of you established Lefties.

Glad to be part of this.

Welcome. I have a problem with the criminals that pass for "conservative" as well.

Make that two of us.
There is actually a fairly active progressive community here in Texas, but we are almost completely drowned out by the religious right.

Hi, I'm in Orange, CA. I go to Kaplan Online University and am trying to get my AA degree in paralegal studies. Algebra is kicking my ass. I haven't taken a math class in 20 years. It looks like I'm a bit older than a lot of you, 39. Anyway, I am also very glad to be here. I was invited to join the conservative group! Yikes! I responded to the email, WHY would I want to do that?
