Hey, Progressive U!
I'm Shannon Clay, generally known on the web as Lunar Music (Lunar for short, please; when people call me Luna, it drives me crazy). I'm eighteen, and a senior at a small highschool in northern California.
In the past, I haven't ever really considered myself particularly political. I did grow up in the United Church of Christ, though, which has given me a strong sense of social justice. I attended General Synod this summer in Hartford, which was an amazing experience. If you’re interested in the blogging I did there, it’s over at synodblog.livejournal.com. But please, don’t let it distract from what I write here! That was last summer! I have new things to say!
You might say that I've come here to figure out how that sense of social justice, which I have generally considered part of my religious identity, fits in with the secular, political ideas I am beginning to seriously examine. Not that I feel that I should have to change how I feel about things! But my understanding of politics is scanty, and at this point, heavily propped up with my religious knowledge.
I'll post more tomorrow. Now, I think I'll post this before I fall asleep at my keyboard.

Everything, you have done, and will do, is chemically predisposed by matter, even the fact you are reading this message. You make no choices, only perceive a given reality.
welcome to the blog :-) I look forward to reading your social justice blogs :-)
