OK I am a mathematician, Jazz fusion guitarist, male primate from the species homosapiens, I enjoy nature, beautiful women, reading mathematical physics and philosophy books.
Oh, I bet you mean politically. OK, I vote on an issue by issue basis if possible, I prefer greenery to concrete, I am not a big fan of continuing affirmative action, I believe I should be able to own a gun, I believe there is such a thing as welfare abuse and I also beleive that there are people who deserve a helping hand or second chance. I do not oppose all war but I think the Iraq war was ill advised while the war in Afganistan was a good idea. I do not think that this country is automatically better than all other nations in every way but I am proud to be an American. I admire the thinking Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Pain. I think that Rush Limbaugh is dishonest and a jerk big mouth who is factually wrong regularly. He foolishly mocks science that he doesn't understand. I believe in separation of church and state and I oppose any form of government endorsement of religion. I have been a registered Democrat for about 1/100th of my life. Excessive political correctness bugs me and I think we the universities are inflating grades of undergraduates everywhere with some exceptiosn and certifying incompetance all to often. I am not a fan of radical feminism and do not buy some of the weird theories about gender that I have heard. On the issue of same sex parenthood, it is in need of study and I have only my hunches. I do not think gays are evil or lesser citizens.
Hmmm. Not good enough. I guess Coggins wants me to lable myself. But, as Jack Black said "my essence has no label"
Everybody but Coggins should watch the following juvenile video- all of it:

As a supposedly stuffy 51 year olf mathemtics professor I be glad to be accused of a occasional rejuvenation. Come on Coggy, just believe! I know you can do it if anyone can. It's the key you know----faith! By it's power worlds were created (and children fly!)
You're 51? Oh my goodness gracious.

What a sexist. How close-minded.

I believe Tarski is like really smart. I believe Moniker's a smart hottie. Or a hot smartie...um moving along. I believe free donuts are twice as good as other donuts. I believe I'll have faith in science. I believe Sethbag rules. I believe I'll dance a jig when this semester is over. I believe this board would be better with more Runtu, less me. I believe in the land of the free and the home of the depraved. I believe moral bankruptcy can be fun if you're around the right people. I believe Mercury is a big softie at heart. I believe...
...I'll go to sleep.
