Neanderthal's Channel

I live in Philadelphia. I consider myself a half assed sociologist and an half-assed historian, and I consider myself a poor judge of people. Because I am of the Neanderthal race, I have no guile. I was once a devotee of the greek tragedies, the works of shakespears, the history of the Catholic Church, international matters including the United Nations and science. I am currently reading Galileo's Dialogues. I am an atheist and I believe that all creatures are sacred.
I have several degrees but none of them are made out to me. One of them is a masters degree from Temple University and another is a BS from Temple. My favorite degree claims a 4.0 average and a summa cum laude award. I have been thinking of buying another degree on line but I am not sure which one to get. They all cost too much. Still, all my degrees are worth just as much as any degree anyone else has even though they paid 10's of thousand of dollars for theirs. In addition to my degrees, the only connection I have to the past, present and future and to life itself is through books and now the computer.
My favorite subject is Democracy and the unbelievable fraudulent criminal state of America. I can never get enough of the riddles that make America and can not understand why the rest of the world deals with her. I refuse to pledge allegiance to the Flag of America and were it not that I was born and raised in this country, I would live somewhere else. I lived in the era of Jim Crow and witnessed a lynching and murders as well as other crimes and saw apartheid of white America imposed against Blacks.
I am barely proficient in computers and for the most part I live as frugally as possible and by the skin of my teeth. To me, frugality is the highest virtue. I am against the killing of animals even though I can’t resist hot dogs and chicken pot pie.
