INTRODUCTION:
               As far back as my spotty memory goes, my major loves were
               reading, hard sciences (mathematics and physics) even when I
               didn't know the proper names to call them, and music.  I've
               always been sorry that there was no one around, even through
               HS who had the knowledge to feed me enough mathematics
               or physics to satisfy my thirst.  At that time, biology
               and chemistry was nothing more than a few rules and great
               taxonomy - bored the hell out of me.  Generally, I learned
               to despise school, and learned out of necessity to teach
               myself whatever it was I became interested in.  To this day,
               I hold the entire "educational system" in absolute contempt
               as completely destructive, and a total waste of time.
               I got through it all, just for spite, doing pretty much as
               I pleased, and mostly managing to hide the growing contempt.

               Growing up as a teenager, most of my friends' parents all
               spoke between six and a dozen languages.  My own piano
               teacher spoke twelve, the latest was Estonian learned
               from her husband.  She, and my other teachers in music were
               the only teachers that I ever had who very patiently fed
               me all that I could absorb, slowly nurturing my ear to hear
               nuances of composition and performance.  The rest were mostly
               less than useless idiots.

               The jump from learning languages to the theory of linguistics
               that tied things together was simply too attractive.  My
               delight at eventually finding that linguistics, music,
               mathematical logic, computer programming languages and
               abstract algebra could be tied together with the theory
               of formal languages (thank you, Noam Chomsky) was wonderful.

               The jump into molecular biology and computer programming
               was simply a wonderful accident since languages were
               already, in concrete and in abstract, part of the toybox
               in my head, and biology had by then made sufficient contact
               with mathematics and physics that it had become really
               interesting.

               Some time as an undergraduate in college, I realized that
               a fundamental and truly interesting question was where and
               how space and time came to be.  What was it, anyhow?  That
               became and continues to define the nexus of questions that
               will not leave my head.  As a little foray that seemed to
               be associated with that question, I invented a rudimentary
               differential and integral calculus of fractional order.
               When I rather excitedly showed my mathematics and physics
               professors the idea and results, they were almost irate,
               asking "What good is that?".  On discovering, later that
               year, that Bernhardt Riemann had already sketched such
               a theory in a slightly different way for general complex order
               in 1847, I was a bit disappointed, and angered at the complete
               stupidity and ignorance of my so called teachers.
               Contempt++;

               As a teacher I've always tried to teach as I would like to
               have been "taught"; that way doesn't work in the system;
               I don't teach; it's too painful to deal with pupils who have
               already been completely destroyed.

	       Of late, I have discovered that as personality features:

	       1) I generally don't choose my battles, since I would prefer
	          to have none: they choose me and leave me no choice.
	          I don't choose to have enemies; they choose me.

	       2) I am my friends' best friend, whether they know it or not.

	       3) I am my enemy's worst nightmare, whether they know it
	          or not.  Annihilation is my long term objective, no matter
	          the consequences.

	       4) Chosen as an enemy, I am a vicious uncompromising pitbull
	          in response.  "Whatever it takes" - Janet Reno has no
	          concept of the phrase.  Her political tongue just flaps
                  in the breeze.

	        5) Once engaged in battle, losing is *not* an option, it
	           is merely a problem to be solved, and solve it I will.

		6) I an *not* a "team player"; we do it my way or not
		   at all.

               necessary to halt the continuing damage to my spinal cord,
               State Farm, in its malicious denial of medical treatment that
               I had already paid for, would have been succesful at murder
               with the inpunity sanctioned by an already corrupt government.
