Political Philosophy
John is both a social and a fiscal liberal and a member of the Green Party. Issues that especially concern him are environmental protection, gun control and free speech. He attempted for less than one year to become a vegetarian but it just didn't work because carne asada is too delicious - although he does empathize with the deceased cow whilst consuming said carne asada.
Wikipedia Philosophy
John doesn't edit excessively and usually just corrects type-o's, but he does plan to contribute to articles about American history (his area of expertise) as the opportunities arise. If he creates an article it is likely because the subject matter is of local significance, being something in or around his hometown with which he has had personal experience or something related to the history of California, which is his specialty.
