Dear Andy,  I have been editing The Dialectics of Nature for MEIA and working with a woman called Sally from Minnesota.  She suggested I might like to get to know you.

My name is Darrell and I am currently living (?) in Queanbeyan and studying phil externally through UNE. I am 41 years old and have been a labourer for most of my life.  My politics were pretty uninformed for the most part.  I come from a family of soldier/sailors and spent some time in the RAN myself.

I attended Uni as an adult and became involved in the alternative arts scene for a while and was interested in anarchism. However, a lot of my friends were socialists and when I finally came to study pol sci and economics the penny dropped.

 I've read read voraciously, if not wisely all my life, and have an excellent general knowledge.

I guess this is my way of introducing myself

yrs, Darrell
