My Bio:

Professional Experience: Broadcasting, Public Relations, Military, NCO, Law Enforcement, Counseling, & Union Organizing.

And as a hobby I occassionally work as a professional Astrologer

Education: Completing my undergraduate work then on to law school

Goals: Advancing my educational and career goals; evolving mentally, physically, and spiritually; sharing life experiences; seeking companionship; and pursuing enlightenment through the combination of exoteric and esoteric knowledge and experience.

Astrology/Numerology: I have a strong passion for Astrology & Numerology which involves analyzing Horoscopes. Below is a sample of my personal Astrology/Numerology info.

My Horoscope Chart: Leo Rising / Leo Moon / Sun in Scorpio

Numerology: Life Path #3 EXPRESSION

Psych Evaluation: Once upon a time, I consistently scored as an INTP on the MBTI, Myers-Briggs typology exam, (see: Portrait of an INTP) but am now scoring ENFP (see: Portrait of an ENFP) with increasing regularity.

The Guru's involved in interpreting the Myers-Briggs personality assessment have collectively decided the natural partners of the INTP are the ENTJ or the ESTJ. But since I appear to be evolving into an ENFP, they recommend I "hook up" with an INTJ or an INFJ (which means I wont have to give up drinking Guinness and eating Filet Minot with wine sauce and Foie Gras).

“…the television news programs have probably spent a lot more time on Britney Spears’ shaving her head, and Paris Hilton going to jail, and Anna-Nicole Smith’s estate lawyers and Joey Buttafuoco, and all this stuff, than they have spent giving us the facts — for example, telling us before the invasion of Iraq, that actually Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with the attack of 9/11.” - US Vice President Al Gore vs the Media

[Does NBC's "Heroes" Include 9/11 Conspiracy Theory Allegory?] Does art imitate life in the TV show Heroes?

LINDERMAN: This tragedy will be a catalyst for good ... for change. Out of the ashes, humanity will find a common goal. A united sense of hope couched in a united sense of fear. And it is your destiny, Nathan, to be the leader who uses this event to rally a city, a nation, a world. Now you look deep into your heart. You'll know I'm right.[HEROES - .07%]

”The metaphors and political parallels at play in this episode were out of hand. There were the ongoing 9/11 references, such as Nathan/Sylar giving his speech in a Ground Zero-like hole in New York City, the way that Nathan/Sylar's administration tries to use fear and the memory of tragedy to its own ends (''At first the world will mourn,'' says Nathan/Sylar about his genocidal plan. ''They'll be united in grief. Then they'll just be united''), and the co-opting of Homeland Security to wreak havoc on American lives. I was also pleased and shocked by Nathan/Sylar's line acknowledging that he's both president and something more: ''I'm the leader of the free world....I'm the most special person there is.'' If that isn't a damning critique of unchecked executive power and arrogance, I don't know what is.” [Gilbert Cruz on Heroes]

The systematic deregulation, corporate consolidation, and propagandization of American Mainstream Media:

”If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”Joseph Goebbels - Nazi Minister of Propaganda

[Media Regulation Timeline]

1987 ”Fairness Doctrine” eliminated. At its founding the FCC viewed the stations to which it granted licenses as "public trustee" — and required that they made every reasonable attempt to cover contrasting points of views. The Commission also required that stations perform public service in reporting on crucial issues in their communities. Soon after he became FCC Chairman under President Reagan, Michael Fowler stated his desire to do away with the Fairness Doctrine. His position was backed by a 1987 D.C. Circuit Court decision, Meredith Corp. v. FCC, which ruled that the doctrine was not mandated by Congress and the FCC no longer had to enforce it. (Full history of the Fairness Doctrine)

February 8, 1996 President Clinton signs the Telecommunications Act of 1996 . It is generally regarded as the most important legislation regulating media ownership in over a decade. The radio industry experiences unprecedented consolidation after the 40-station ownership cap is lifted. Clear Channel Communications owns 1200 stations, in all 50 states, reaching, according to their Web site, more than 110 million listeners every week. Viacom's Infinity radio network holds more than 180 radio stations in 41 markets. Its holdings are concentrated in the 50 largest radio markets in the United States. In 1999 Infinity owned and operated six of the nation’s Top 10 radio stations.

Some would call it an Orwellian nightmare, but artists and thousands of other U.S. citizens call it reality. More precisely, it's called media consolidation: the popular practice of international corporations monopolizing media outlets such as TV stations, movie studios, and newspapers.
