> i have trouble understanding why anyone would want to read about me.

You are an intesting person. You are far more than the books you have read and the political positions you choose. It is only by seeing all of you that I have a handle on beginning to understand you, what shapes your growth, and what are your weak spots.

I know of no human being (myself included) which is not boring &/or frustrating some of the time. But it only by getting clear looks at all of a person that I can learn to emulate the qualities in that person I admire.
