About me [ edit ]
Expatkiwi: Damon Seath (a psuedonym ). Former New Zealander now living in California , USA .
I'm married, with one son. My interests are: Vexillology , Military History , Graphic Design , Political Science , and Australian Rules Football . I'm the author of 'An Unexpected Visitor' (Copyright 2005 Moon Maiden Publishing ), 'Revenge of the Normal Fringe' (Copyright 2006 Moon Maiden Publishing), and 'Celebrations, Transformations, and Assassinations' (Copyright 2006 Moon Maiden Publishing).
I tend to be centralist in my political leanings (Social Democratic), though I have caused a few raised eyebrows with my support of Somaliland , Taiwan , and Northern Cyprus . I think very highly of both my birth nation and adopted nation , and regard the Declaration of Independence , the Constitution of the United States , the Bill of Rights , and Rhodesia's UDI as the most profound documents ever written by Mankind. Freedom is an inalienable right.
May God Bless, Protect and Defend the United States Of America , Her Majesty's Realm of New Zealand , the Republic of Somaliland , and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus .
