I am one person

My name is Eric Pan, and I live in Santa Cruz, CA. There's a lot here to occupy oneself with, such as the majestic redwoods, the sparkling blue ocean waters, and the warm California sun.

This is a liberal college town, replete with a generous helping of liberal hippie nuts, though I've found surprising the number of conservative nuts here as well (disclaimer: I like nuts). The idea of subscribing to partisanship, political party, or corporate whoredom, is distasteful to me, and so those I try to avoid. However, I am proud to not judge others based on affiliations or beliefs when they in turn do not violate the liberties of others. An old eccentric once said:

"I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend."
Thomas Jefferson

As you might hear from my friends, I'm pretty good at procrastinating. There are projects that I've wanted to begin for over a year now, that constantly get sidelined, that stress me out on a daily basis. So I am a little surprised that sharethetruth is seeing the light of day in just half a week.

...and you are one person

I venture into cheesy territory with the headings here, but that does not diminish our significance. Al Gore is but one person too – and what has he done? If you have not witnessed him as a friendly, reasoned, insightful human being, watch An Inconvenient Truth for free. There is nothing more urgent you can do at this moment in your life. (Exceptions include saving yourself from a fire.)

Seen the movie already? Get others to the theater. Offer to pay. Give someone a ride there (on your bike). Connect with other inspired people in your area. Donate to sharethetruth. Offer your bright idea in the ST forum in order that the ball may accelerate downhill.
