Why I like katmere

I like Kate on two levels.

1.) I love her. She’s a fun, gracious and amazingly tolerant person, willing to put up with all of my faults. Life with her is simply, in all respects, far better than it would be without.

She gamely tries any hobby or interest I have – and is good enough to some how conjure up enthusiasm for it. She’s come on board on so many of them that this isn’t just an accident; she’s just that sweet!

2.) I think she’s an example of what’s good about our society. With a little ambition and determination she’s taking great strides forwards, without having to turn into a burned out workaholic. Her interests are expanding in virtually every direction.

Working in the field she does, many shut down their empathy for their fellow person, to prevent being overwhelmed by despair. Kate soldiers on without such defences, and goes beyond her work to develop policy positions that might one day solve those problems.

Basically the point is, I <3 Kate!

Why I like Rahul Sinha

Rahul Sinha is an earnest person who believes in doing right by his fellow man (and woman!). He is willing to discuss any topic and always keeps close to heart (and mind) the idea that through intelligent policy and reasonable decision-making in our own lives we can make a better, cleaner, healthier, happier world.

He believes all people, regardless of race, gender, economic class, sexual orientation, or country of origin deserve to be treated with dignity and given real opportunities to also make life better for themselves and their children.

He believes in rationality and science above faith and superstition. He supports individual freedom and privacy. He also supports careful, regulated, economic growth for individuals and nations.

He appreciates fine music, wine, art, and discourse. He can also appreciate having a good time with friends and folks from any walk of life, and tries dilligently to see the world from other people’s shoes.

This much I have learned about Rahul, and I expect to learn much more.
