Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog, "Random Musings of a Barefoot Libertarian-Democrat Hippie"!

I'm a 30-something, Single (& plan to stay that way!) asexual/nonsexual, staunchly anti-vaccine, Gay Rights Supporting, Attachment Parenting Promoting (co-sleeping, extended breast feeding, baby-wearing, cloth diapering, unschooling/homeschooling, gentle discipline etc.), Conscientious Omnivore (for the most part, anyway!), Raw Milk Loving, Organic Promoting, Bill Gates DESPISING & Bill Maher Loving, Secular agnostic-atheist Humanist (raised Hindu), Indian-American, Tree-hugging "Crunchy"/"Granola" Progressive Pro-Choice Liberal Libertarian-Democrat.

Not that I believe in superstition (and I generally consider all organized religion to be superstition) including things like astrology, but I'm a Gemini. I'm 5'1 (yes, I'm a shorty!) with Dark brown eyes, and Chest-length, jet-black hair usually worn in one long braid, or a bun and I have 2 piercings in each ear & one piercing in the nose.

I'm a pretty opinionated person, and hold very strong & passionate views on certain subjects - views that are NOT necessarily congruent with the "mainstream" or "conventional" establishment and I frequently post and/or comment on articles & other stuff (pictures, video clips, etc.) about the issues I feel strongly about. Although it can come off as being judgmental or critical, it truly is not, and just comes from a good place, with the best of intentions, and its just who I am - and I accept that.

I am:

* STAUNCHLY Anti-Globalization & Anti-NWO (New World Order)

* STAUNCHLY Pro-Limited Government restricted to only education & social programs/services (fire & EMS, Social Security/SSI/SSDI, UNIVERSAL Single-Payer health-care, welfare/housing/food-stamps for the needy, etc.), infrastructure (roads, transit systems, national parks, etc.) and minimal defense & police necessary to protect against attack (NOT being the “World’s Police”) & PREDATORY crimes (NOT non-violent drug offenses & “vice crimes”). That’s IT! 
NO “Corporate Welfare”! NO bailouts to banks/corporations! NO subsidies to Agri-Corporations! NO tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy!!


* STAUNCHLY Anti-Vaccine

* STAUNCHLY Pro-Medicare for ALL

* STAUNCHLY Anti-Federal Reserve

* STAUNCHLY Pro-"Attachment Parenting" (breastfeeding, babywearing, anti-CIO [anti-"Cry-It-Out"], co-sleeping & the "family bed", non-vaxing, homeschooling/UNschooling, gentle discipline, etc.)

* Anti-Republican & Anti-Corporatist/Fascist

* Pro-Choice (NOT pro-abortion, but pro-CHOICE, in EVERYTHING & NOT just abortion)

* Semi Anti-Death Penalty (support in very limited cases/situations)

* Pro-2nd Amendment AND Pro-REASONABLE Gun Control

* Anti-IRS

* Pro-Gay Marriage/Gay Rights/Gay Equality

* Pro-”Living Wage” & Pro-Universal Basic Income

I'm very passionate about what I believe in and I am very outspoken & vocal about my views - particularly when it comes to politics, vaccines & other allopathic medicine safety (or the SHEER LACK thereof!), organic food/living & "locavorism" (at least, whenever/wherever possible!), urban & suburban homesteading, alternative energy sources & "off-the-grid" living, survivalism, raw milk/dairy, attachment parenting issues (co-sleeping, lactivism, the anti-vaccination movement, homeschooling & unschooling, etc.), and the corruption & cronyism in this modern US government's corporatocratic political (and medical, educational, agricultural, and every other) system.

I am a Lactivist, Intactivist, Anti-Vacctivist (anti-vaccine activist) and a conspiracy REALIST (as opposed to "conspiracy theorist" which implies a lack of belief in those views – because *some* conspiracy theories ARE TRUE! Not all but some of them are!).


My main hobbies & interests are politics, baking & cooking, Facebook, organic food & living and "locavorism" (at least, whenever/wherever possible!), raw milk/dairy, attachment parenting issues (co-sleeping, lactivism, the anti-vaccination movement, homeschooling & unschooling, etc.), reading, travel, the "back-to-the-land" movement & (sub)urban homesteading/sea-steading, singing, dance, alternative medicine & organic (natural) health/disease prevention, permaculture, TV & movies, Bollywood, alternative "green" energy (solar, wind, hydro-electric, biofuels, etc.), sustainable "off-the-grid" organic living, urban/suburban organic farming, survivalism, ethnic cuisines (Greek, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, etc.), ANYTHING 80's & 90's (TV, movies, food, pop culture, clothes, toys, etc.) and the corruption & cronyism in this modern US government's corporatocratic political (and medical, educational, agricultural, and every other) system.

I'm also very interested in music & dance (especially ethnic/world music and the Bharata Natyam & Kathak dances of India), crafts, the Konkani language, creative writing, reading & writing fanfiction, foreign languages, and collecting keychains, porcelain dolls, & 80's-90's toys/memorabilia. I also love spending quality time with my family & friends, and reconnecting with people from the past.

With strangers, in real-life, I'm usually kind of shy & quiet at first, but once I get to know someone, I become a lot more outgoing & fun. I'm often talkative, but I'm also very sensitive & a caring listener. I enjoy meeting those with different viewpoints & backgrounds and love a good, friendly, CIVIL debate, on various topics, now & then, but I particularly getting to know & become friends with those with similar interests & beliefs, with whom can share common ideas.

So especially if you're politically liberal, anti-vaccine, a "tree-hugger", interested in (and support) "off-the-grid" green living & alternative energy sources (solar, wind, hydro-electric, etc.), "attachment parenting" issues, homesteading & urban/suburban farming, and other subjects as mentioned above, feel free to "like" (and follow) my Facebook page at:
