This is my very first post on Friendica. Like many of you, I am looking for an alternative to Facebook, and I hope this is it.
I am a 70 year old man, born in the Midwest (Iowa) but living in Prague, Czech Republic for more than a quarter century. Married with two nearly adult children. I write poetry and a lot of my posts here will be just that.
I also comment frequently on politics, where I would label myself as a very reasonable, middle of the road kind of guy, but in today's political climate most would label me a screaming left wing lunatic. Nations and religions are only sources of conflict and should not exist. It's a wealthy world and nobody should have to live in poverty. Education should be free and unlimited and cars and guns are horrible things that kill people. I smoke a shitload of weed and watch way too much TV.
