If you were to become president would you start pursuing the use of alternative fuel sources for the better of the environment and economy etc...?

Yes, yes yes Bicycles all around...

2. Have you ever thought of trying to run for anything other than president? And maybe then working your way to the top from there, after getting "known" more?

I want a post where I can actually affect things, I think US President is as low as it goes, when trying to save the whole world. (But I have run for local office under the libertarian party.) I think Jesse the body proved that political background is not necessary to win an election in this country.

3. Are you Vegetarian or even Vegan?

A. Only at heart, I don't hunt, but I do eat meat. I try to keep my meat intake low and prefer fish and poultry to red meat. However one of the things I believe is that red meat is addictive.

Where do you stand on the issues of animal abuse, animal rights, the inhumanity of modern-day factory farming and our insane use of putting animal byproducts into everything even though there are cruelty free alternatives?

A. Modern day farming is ridiculous, mass production puts the entire food supply at great risk. Packing and packaging plants producing amazing about of products are inherently the hardest places to keep sanitary. The result mass sickness when they screw up...
I do support PETA and the SPCA, but I also believe they take things too far at times...

4. Where do you stand on abortion rights?
Answer rant...

5. I think we both agree that a plant, an herb, like marijuana... does not deserve the often harsh connotations which are attached to the word "drug". But where do you stand on more harmful substances such as crack-cocaine and heroine, etc...?How would you deal with them? How about other non-chemically-addictive plants like Psilocybe Mushrooms?

A. When I am out protesting and speaking out against the war on drugs, People often ask "what the hell is a matter with you, how can you condone legalized drug use?" My answer, wake up drugs are everywhere, in your bars, pharmacies, and supermarkets. The fact is that I do not condone drug use of any sort, including those toxic poisons that doctors prescribe, which are responsible for a 100,000 deaths a year. I'm not suggesting we make heroin, cocaine or amphetamines available the way we do alcohol and cigarettes.
What am I recommending?
Drop the "zero tolerance" baloney and the unrealistic goal of a drug free society. Accept that drug use is here to stay, and accept that marijuana is an herb, no different from saffron or St. John's wort.

Also
* that doctors be allowed and encouraged to prescribe whatever drugs or herbs that work best, notwithstanding the demonized status of some drugs in the eyes of the law, because Doctors and their patients are best qualified to decide what is medicine not lawyers in Washington D.C..
* that people not be incarcerated for possessing small amounts of any drug for personal use. But also that people who put their fellow citizens at risk by driving while impaired be treated strictly and punished accordingly;
* that employers reject drug testing because they reveal nothing about whether people are impaired in the workplace, but what they have done on their own time over the weekend;
* We step up our efforts to provide honest and effective drug education rather than propaganda programs like DARE.

This is a call for a fundamentally different drug policy. It's not legalization, it's a matter of spending more on treatment and prevention and less on interdiction and enforcement.
Some call it "harm reduction" an approach that aims to reduce the negative consequences of both drug use and drug prohibition.

The truth is most anti-drug war activists aren't really drug legalizers at all. A legalizer, is someone who believes that heroin, cocaine and most or all other drugs should be available over the counter, like alcohol or cigarettes.
This is not to say there is no such thing as a "legalizer." Milton Friedman, and Thomas Szasz, have both argued that total drug legalization is the only rational and ethical way to deal with drugs in our society. Most libertarians and many others agree with them.
U.S. drug prohibition, like alcohol Prohibition decades ago, is responsible for creating vast underground markets, criminalizing millions of otherwise law abiding citizens, corrupting government at every level, infringing on personal freedoms, and legitimizing public policies that are contrary to the very foundations of our country.
I will never be an advocate for over the counter sale of all drugs, and not just because it's not a politically popular argument. I do not believe that total legalization is the right answer.
The fact is, there is no drug legalization movement in America. What there is a political and social movement for drug policy reform. It consists of the growing number of citizens who have been victimized, in one way or another, by the drug war, and who now believe that our current drug policies are doing more harm than good.
What I am talking about is an approach grounded not in the fear, ignorance, and prejudice, but rather one grounded in common sense, compromise and basic human rights. That's true drug policy reform.

My solution is so much simpler. If a person who is curious and of age wishes to experiment with tobacco, hemp, steroids, alcohol, or use birth control, antibiotics, vitamins or pain killers. They should be enrolled in an educational program on the effects of these and other drugs. Upon passing a test on effects of various substances and signing waivers, would be given permission to use these drugs as an informed citizen. I am not saying PCP or Crack should be legal, but as a civilized culturally diverse educated country we should allow access to more than caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. Granted we would still have to have laws pertaining to driving and public use. But the police will need something to do when the violence from the drug generated undergrounds disperse.

6. Do you like to read? What are some of your favorite books, ...books you recommend? Have you read the book "Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do" -By Peter McWilliams...? It seems like something you'd like.

I used to read a lot of books and several daily newspapers, now most of my reading seems to be Internet related.
I often suggest that people read Ain't nobody's business, How I found freedom in a unfree world (Harry browne), Plato's Republic, Waldon two, Atlas shrugged, On the beach, Other favorites include the hobbit, and Calvin and Hobbes.

7. What are your thoughts on corruptions and undemocratic/barbaric incidences and practices within systems like the CIA, FBI, etc...? I've read an awful lot of disheartening things regarding the going-ons of the CIA over the years. I've come to view that establishment on the whole as ultimately just governmentally over-privileged, thieves liars and thugs. How would you deal with these sorts of problems and reputations if you were in office? Would you do away with a need for a CIA all together?

A. I personally believe that the CIA is and has been covertly running the country for some time. Since when? JFK? Reagan Years? Certainly since King George Bush the first took office. I think I would have to fully access the situation first before deciding exactly what would happen to this arm of the government. This would certainly be a point of discussion for the Continental Congress to address...

8. What do you think of War and violence?

A. I think violence and aggression is an inherent part of nature, something that somehow needs to be there so that we can understand peace and contentment.
I have no understanding of the want or need of war. I understand that in a given situation one may have to defend themselves on a personal as well as on a national level. I think that war is waged by power hungry egomaniacs, that should be locked in a cage with their counter parts and let them fight to the death. Peaceful citizens should be left out of these political power struggles...

9. Who are some famous/known people in human history you respect, admire and perhaps... look-up too?

You may have to look up some of these... in no particular order,
Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Gandhi, Plato, Bill Mayer, Ross Perot, Steven Gaskin, Groover T. Croslin, Susan Serandon, Woody Harrison, Vivan McPeak,
Fictional - Sherlock Holmes, Billy Jack, Jon luc Picard,

10. Do you think you may ever plan to travel and do some of your campaigning here in the South east? I live in North Carolina...
A. Currently planning a 28 - 47 State speaking campaign tour for 2004.
North Carolina is on the must list!!!
Looking for funding!!!

11. How have the concert and festival events you organize and speak at, been going for you since last election time 2000? Keeping you busy are they? Have you had much success and positive results and turnouts from the events?

A. My shows have been successful in outreach and in musical excellence, but none really made any money. However between my shows, protests and the many many other shows I have attended in the past 8 years I have literally spoken personally and directly to many tens of thousands of people and I have addressed crowds as small as a few dozen and as large as 15,000 - 20,000 at times from various stages around the country.

12. Have you, or are you planning to, organize information packets or fliers or something to give in bulk to people (such as myself) who want to help distribute info and raise more awareness of your campaign in the areas in which they live?
