BUTCH NEWS

It's me, BUTCH, stranger in a strange land.  Born in 1944.  A Naval Officer in submarines, age 22, after spending a year as navigator of a repair ship.  I'm fit but hurt a lot.  A queer man who lives alone in South Vancouver.  NOT SHY but VERY RECLUSIVE.  Tree huger and planet saver type.  A VISUAL ARTIST/PHOTOGRAPHER into THEORETICAL PARTICLE PHYSICS... Einstein kind of stuff.

Experience has shown me (I'm 78) that most humans are rather shallow hypocrites who don't practice what they preach.  Or, as Paul Simon said, "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" (The Boxer).  I'm a vocal atheist as I consider all religions to be fundamentally evil, and legalized crime.   I avoid religious types as poorly educated, or superstitious dangerous humans with no sense of logic. I'm very well educated and old.  I can be very, very, very BLUNT... kinda like Socrates.  His fellow citizens didn't much like him.  In fact, they ordered him to kill himself or they would do it.
