Hello. I've been a Wikipedian since 2004.

The photo above was taken in Kaliningrad, Russia, in 1998, at Kant's tomb.
While I cannot claim to be a serious student of Kant, I value some of his
basic thoughts, including the motto "Dare to know" (Latin: sapere aude).
I have a B.A. in journalism and 30-some years' experience as a reporter, editor and copy editor
– and also experience as an intake officer at a state human rights commission. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

This user applauds the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2020 ruling that that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects
gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination in employment – a long overdue rectification of U.S. law.
