cwpembroke Profile

American from 17th century on. Upper middle class upbringing near Chicago. Lots of childhood outdoor experience in the American west and in the Canadian north. Tomboy chldhood with music and animals. Chidhood bravado with few chances to confirm true bravery. Devoted to English common law and the American constitution and its derivative legal fruits. Wary of authority/rather rebellious by nature. As a grandparent, concerned about the state of the planet. As a scientist, fascinated by the inevitability of changes in the planet, eg. shifting continents, changing climates. After love, fairness, physical and mental health I am most devoted to humor - without which the other things can't seem to get off the ground. Enough.
