Hi! My main interests are European
historical linguistics and American political history. I'm especially interested in the
Progressive Era and the
1960s . I consider myself a
liberal Democrat , and align myself with historical figures such as
Franklin D. Roosevelt ,
Harry S. Truman ,
Lyndon B. Johnson , and
Hubert H. Humphrey . I am quite a bit more active on
Wiktionary .
