I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech to use any information and technology to purchase and use recreational drugs to enjoy and purchase so-called 'vices' to be free of intruders and to privacy.
More and more job listings are exclusively available online and as technology evolves nearly every occupation now requires a basic level of digital literacy with web navigation email access and participation in social media.

Well the teacher I studied with for nineteen and a half years was a man named Paul Gavert. He was a great lieder singer so basically I'm a trained lieder singer because of that teacher. The teacher I currently study with - since 1995 - is Joan Lader who also studied with Gavert.

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
The sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers peasants and the intelligentsia the solidarity of the nation the solidarity of people who seek to live in dignity truth and in harmony with their conscience.
And I watch 'Saturday Night Live' religiously I have since I was a little boy. I watch it basically like one of my favorite sports teams.
My main idea was to create a sports facility for the basics. This is why I established the club.
I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.

Manners are the basic building blocks of civil society.
A generous basic state pension is the least a civilized society should offer those who have worked hard and saved through their whole lives.
