- Politics and Trade Union
	
        Since the year 1990 I am an active member of the German Social 
        Democrat Party called  SPD .
        
        I am engaged in the political mailinglist called
         Virtueller Ortsverein (VOV) , too. 
        Social Democrats and other interested people are interacting here via 
        Internet, Usenet and mailinglists related to special political topics.
        
	I am a member of the trade union called Gewerkschaft Erziehung 
	und Wissenschaft (GEW).
	
        - Relgion and Church
	
        Until 1992 I was a Catholic and later in 1994 I converted to the German Protestant Church 
        called 
  Evangelische Kirche Deutschlands (EKD)   
        respectively  (Landeskirche im Rheinland).
        
        
           
    - Humanities and natural science
	
        I am interested in topics of philosophy, psychology and
        social sciences. My favourite authors are e.g. George Berkeley, 
        Jürgen Habermas, George Herbert Mead, Peter Sloterdijk, 
        Paul Watzlawick and Johano Strasser.
 
        Further I am interested in questions of socio-biology and modern physics. 
	
        
        
   
    - Non-Scientific Literature
	
        I do not watch TV all day long! I read books from Bertold Brecht, Franz Kafka, 
        Ray Bradbury and Stanilav Lem. On the other hand I like comics.
    - Teddys
        I am very fond of teddybears! Especially when they are cute and cosy!
        
        
         
 
        
        
    - IRC Chats
        I like to chat within the IRC. The topics I talk about are soccer, politcs or
        our real life.
        
        
           
    - Food and Drinks
        I like to eat a piece of tart or cheese and I like to drink a glass of good wine or beer.
        I do not know if I am a Gourmet or a Gourmand.
        
        
    
    - Sports
        I like watching sport games like soccer, F1 or IndyCar.

    - Music
        I like good music!
        I often listen to good rock music (Jerry Lee Lewis, Bon Jovi, Queen, Toten Hosen), extraordinary 
        good female (Kate Bush, Bette Midler, Madonna, Heart) and male (Bryan Adams, 
        Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Billy Joel) musicians. I like other good music 
        (Sting, Police, Housemartins), too.
