What is important to you, personally, in your day-to-day life?
RV: I enjoy computers, economics, and brazilian jujitsu. I also think that social problems should be solved without violence or threats of violence.
What is your earliest memory of your own personal “counter culture” thought?
RV: I remember being in the 4th or 5th grade. There was a cigarette tax increase on the ballot in California. It was being promoted as a way to fund the schools. Initially I was in favor of the tax increase since I was a student in the school, but an adult with some common sense pointed out to me that just because someone chooses to smoke, doesn’t mean that they should have to pay more in taxes than people who don’t smoke. That was a real shifting point in my view of the world.
