Chattanoogan Rocky Sisemore: Self styled free spirit, activist, writer and poet.

Born in 1961, Rocky has weathered many storms (several were self brewed). He has worked with or through many organizations. In the 1990s, he worked for a few years with former State Represenative Harold Stockburger as an investigator and educator exposing civil liberty violations on the local and national level. During this time, Rocky became aqainted with a few inviduals active in militias. He found himself a "go between" for Michigan, Tennessee and Alabama groups. At this time the militia movement was making news and it seemed to be "popular". He was not interested in being involved in a militia himself. He noted:

"I have watched the struggle of power tumble the sincerest of intentions. Friend against friend, some were wise, some were foolish, to some it was romantic, to others it was a vehicle to promote a seperate agenda. Many made the news but not how they planned. One was busted for growing pot while another (I heard) was passing bad checks.
I must state, for just the reasons listed; the citizen milita in general is doomed. I realize there are groups that appear to be working like the founders would have it be. These groups, I suspect are few."

After parting with Mr. Stockburger, Rocky took a sabbatical from the political arena; while time to time writing for various publications on social/political subjects.

Rocky has always been an avid "people watcher". More than that, he enjoys listening to other people tell of themselves, their dreams, joys and failures. With this mindset, he began diving into more deeper subjects. Socialology of individuals, the differences and simularities humans all share. How enviroment and genetics make up the person as the world sees him and most important---how that individual sees himself.
He has spoke often of the wisdom of children.

"C hildren are the purest form of human life. They see, hear and sense more than we realize. They do this until they grow up and become a "loyal subject" of conformity. In an effort to make them what we think they should be, we take away the innocense and insight they enjoy."

After discovering something about himself, he dove head first into a study of the Psychology of the mind. Its capabilities and its defects. How brain chemistry and enviroment affect people.

"After almost two weeks of scattered, confused thoughts and deep depression I went to my MD. I was open and truthful about certain things relating to mood changes, racing thoughts, highs and lows. It was here...for the first time......I heard the words "you are classic bi-polar". From here began another journey. I was niave enough at first to think the fight was over but it didn't take long to realize the fight was only beginning.
I was sidetracked,relieved, scared, happy, sad, overwhelmed....then the stages began just as the doctor said. Diagnosis brings shock, then relief, anger, denial and then acceptence.
One MD, two psychiatrists, one psychologist can't be wrong.....I guess". (grinning sheepishly)

Over the past few years Rocky has studied alternate energy sources....especially solar power. He has talked with solar energy pioneer Steve () in Idaho. He has studied application of the entire solar energy

More recent, Rocky has been a vocal piece against the post 9/11 legislation that threatens Americans basic freedoms. He also has been very vocal against the U.S. threatening war against Iraq.

"When did we become an agressor? While the generation before ours sits on their porch waving their little flags, the nation is coming unraveled. Not since World War II has there been a declared war. Does the citizenery fail to realize this fact? Do they even care? This country has forgotten from where we came.
