"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...
THIS WEEKEND the gays and lesbians are going back to the National Mall again to march for equal protection under the law. More here.

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. ;-)

It would be great to hear more about your experiences at the 1979 march, Michael.
I wish I could be there tomorrow!
It will be interesting to see what kind of press coverage this will receive. I hope it is substantial, in the manner in which the more contentious healthcare "tea parties" were covered.
I dream about the possibility of having a number of gay rights "tea-parties" in many cities around the country....but my guess is that, like tomorrow's march, the rallies will be reasoned, there will be no racist placards, or wingnuts carrying guns to intimidate others into accepting their points of view, and in any case they would not be "sensational" enough to warrant more than a cursory glance...
But I hope I'm wrong, and that the media will pay lots of attention tomorrow....
It will be an emotional day...
