Do you like----- food, democracy, access, defining values, economic justice, fair housing and sexual intercourse (the verbal variety, of course) ? Let's join projects! www.unconventionalthoughts.com

I am an author, sometime syndicated radio guest and pretty much a roll-up-my sleeves grassroots chief cook and bottle washer kind of activist. And what I would do to combine my projects with complimentary like -minded innovators! Bio is below.

www.nakedsexpolitics.com my personal ponderings of sex politics and general paradox of both
NEED-- Blog developer

www.sexandhousecleaning.com It's what I do for a living (cleaning) and for pleasure ( the sex) so why not write a how-to guide, right? It''s actually meant to be an everywoman/man's political primer and is a work in progress. Do you think Obama and Clinton will like a copy? What about McCain? Maybe it's more up Bob and Libby Dole's favorite topic? Or Bill and Hillary? Time we liberals define sexual values (for ourselves, too) while we prepare to scrub up the White House from 8 years of vile fear-mongered debris.

MY PHILOPSOPHY-
It's not just the emperor who wears no clothes. It's us, too.because we all have a tendency, no matter how well-meaning, to become arrogant, hypocritical and intolerant of views different than our own. If you don't understand where the other person's view point stems from, you really don't have the whole picture of your own position. You don't believe me? Let's talk it over the dinner table.

MY BIO from my portal: http://www.unconventionalthoughts.com/about.shtml
Crystal Syben Haidl is not quite the intellect, but more like a not- so-closeted nerd embodying a grassroots sensuality. She admits her consciousness was complexly shaped in youth by 70s era social sitcoms, strict Catholic school flower-power flavored discipline, public high school "journaling", conservative European social-democrat working class parentage, and a rebellious vegetarianism, along with a smattering of Hesse, Chaucer, Voltaire, Wuthering Heights, Laban and funk.

She's a mother, has been a wife; a lover many times over. She's scrubbed thousands of toilets with the same hands shaken with politicians, pointed fingers at anatagonists and cuddled babies. She's been an employer, a stripper, won a full tuition scholarship to UCLA and received a state government commendation for pro-consumer business stances. She's been homeless, jobless, housed by friends and family who supported her, even as they shook their heads.

Crystal's projects focus on societal access and individual integrity - "Hypocrisy, arrogance and ignorance are seeped within each and every one of us. Only when we accept those conditions are embedded within our beliefs, can we honestly roll up our sleeves to remedy the inequities they caused in our world. Laughing about yourself helps."
