After being Editor in Chief of my Law Review, graduating from law school, working at the California Supreme Court, and serving as a James Madison Law Fellow for Americans United for Separation of Church & State, I wisely chose not to practice law.

Years before that, I founded a NOW chapter in New Orleans, which grew into one of the largest chapters in the country, a springboard for my becoming involved in an exhausting number of pointless progressive causes. In my more mainstream political efforts, I’ve been a delegate to the Democratic Party in California, and been on the steering committee of and written position papers for many disappointing national and statewide candidates in California and Louisiana.

I was thinking of including some amusing and self-aggrandizing pictures here of me during my political heyday, appearing on national network news, giving a speech at an NAACP rally in New Orleans, lecturing at The Marxist School, and some very un-photogenic shots of me with poised presidents and grinning governors, but the hair and suits are just too embarrassing. It’s all in my FBI file, I’m sure. File a Freedom of Information Act Request if you’re really interested.

My advice to you is to seek out anti-establishment yet intelligent sources of information on the sordid affairs of society and give money to groups that promote your values, based on what you’ve learned. Be exceedingly polite to the well-intentioned ignorant, avoid or crush the mean-spirited, and always consider that you might be entirely or partially mistaken in your currently held legal or political views.

Unfortunately, since I stopping saving the world, the world has, in fact, gone to hell, so perhaps one person really did make a difference after all. I promise to save the world again soon. Right after I finish writing comic books about women stronger, smarter, and more beautiful than I am saving the world with far less effort.
