Charles D. Collom is an attorney who lives in Southern California. His interests include history, politics, science, and writing in the third person.

He has recently decided that law, to coin a term, “sucks” and is returning to school to become a nurse practitioner.

He is an open and notorious homosexual who is happily partnered.

Politically, he is skeptical of government action, would replace the entire welfare apparatus with a (very small) guaranteed minimum income, would reduce spending on defense to levels that would make Dennis Kucinich flinch, and would phase out social security for the young by financing current benefits against sharp inheritance taxes on current retirees.
