"Copia" is Latin for "abundance," and this blog explores my belief that abundance is all around us. We live in a world of infinite possibilities,
and we have the ability to choose our own paths.
I write about a wide range of topics, and common themes are politics, civil liberties, health, the environment, and science.
Who am I? I'm Torq Anvil...
Sometimes I'm intense, sometimes effervescent. After 16 years in the SF Bay Area, I moved to Portland for four years, and fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. After a couple of years back in SF and a couple more in the clean, beautiful desert air of Nevada (yes, Las Vegas, but just minutes from beautiful Red Rock Canyon), I'm back in Oregon. I grew up in a town of 800, went to Stanford, did the corporate thing at Oracle, became a circuit boy, and now finally think I'm settling down a bit. I like a lot of stimulation and a lot of variety... you might find me camping in the woods, dancing all night, or deep in conversation over coffee or cocktails. I'm a science buff, especially biology and cosmology. I like being a prankster... goofy things amuse me. Travel is great, whether it's my favorite city (NYC) or a tropical island. >>> WHAT DO I BELIEVE? That life can be absurd and random, and those qualities give it much of its beauty. That we have choice in our lives. That there is no way that things are supposed to be; there's only how they are. That vampires exist. That this, too, shall pass. And don't worry, it only seems kinky at first. ;-)

No, we're not tired of hearing what you have to say, we just don't have the initiative to respond. Glad you're trying to respond positively to what's happening in this world. Just read an article in Mens Journal, "Still Addicted to Oil", by Bill McKibben reiterating what you're trying to say. Just glad that more mags are running articles such as these.
Eisenhower warned us of the Military/Industrial Complex. The Political/Free Enterprise Complex is just as troubling. Until we can get politicians that can't be bought and will represent what is best, not just what is best for the people of the US, but for all of humanity, our government will continue to move in the wrong direction.
Good article on plate tectonics. I'll have to pass it on to my geofriends. A few years ago I was able to sit in on a seminar presented by Dr. Scotese on this subject. Anyway, thanks for the link!
