| − | ===Political===
| |
| − | My political evolution has been rapid but done in a fairly intelligent manner. After bouncing down basically the same path for the past few years I have become an ardent Libertarian. I'm a "South Park Republican" and a "Daily Show Democrat" with huge respect for George Carlin and Milton Friedman. I would say I wish the government could just deliver the mail but they seem to fail at that as well. I'm laissez-faire on absolutely everything besides the environment. We are a tiny blue marble in an unquantifiably big ocean of nothing. The browner the marble gets the closer we get losing our few thousand years of organized knowledge. Finally, I feel job number one two and three of our government protecting the Bill of Rights at all costs. As long as you don't infringe on my personal liberties do whatever you want. Sodomy, any of the -filias besides pedo-, Kevorkian machines, it's all good.

| − | ===Religious===
| |
| − | After going back and forth from agnosticism to athiesm for a while I finally found my calling. The Flying Spaghetti Monster will bless us all one day with his Noodly Appendage. Everlasting peace with a beer volcano and a stripper factory and no tithing! I also try really hard to adhere to the eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts."<ref>
| |
| − | # I'd Really Rather You Didn't Act Like a Sanctimonious Holier-Than-Thou Ass When Describing My Noodly Goodness. If Some People Don't Believe In Me, That's Okay. Really, I'm Not That Vain. Besides, This Isn't About Them So Don't Change The Subject.
| |
| − | # I'd Really Rather You Didn't Use My Existence As A Means To Oppress, Subjugate, Punish, Eviscerate, And/Or, You Know, Be Mean To Others. I Don't Require Sacrifices, And Purity Is For Drinking Water, Not People.
| |
| − | # I'd Really Rather You Didn't Judge People For The Way They Look, Or How They Dress, Or The Way They Talk, Or, Well, Just Play Nice, Okay? Oh, And Get This In Your Thick Heads: Woman = Person. Man = Person. Samey - Samey. One Is Not Better Than The Other, Unless We're Talking About Fashion And I'm Sorry, But I Gave That To Women And Some Guys Who Know The Difference Between [[Teal (color)|Teal]] and [[Fuchsia (color)|Fuchsia]].
| |
| − | # I'd Really Rather You Didn't Indulge In Conduct That Offends Yourself, Or Your Willing, Consenting Partner Of Legal Age AND Mental Maturity. As For Anyone Who Might Object, I Think The Expression Is Go F***<!--censored as per original--> Yourself, Unless They Find That Offensive In Which Case They Can Turn Off the TV For Once And Go For A Walk For A Change.

| − | ===The Wiki-Industrial Complex===
| |
| − | The wiki system puts the collective minds of the world together moving the human race (who's winning?) forward much faster than the library at Alexandria. However people are generally stupid and destructive creatures so modifications are nessesary. I have been editing Wikipedia for over 2 years and 3,000 edits, the utopian vision still burns bright but idiot IP address are slowly bending wikipedia over and thrusting.

| − | Bring in Centiare, an infant still working out the kinks, but, at least it's running OS10 instead of XP. It allows glory whores to covet their own unique piece of cyberspace with opinions and everything! At 3,300ish articles strong the quadratic is still for all intensive purposes flat but I have hope.

| |
| − | I really enjoy music but to be honest I'm more of a film guy. Don't get me wrong listening to the solo in hotel california is great but watching luc besson's camera work in the professional kicks considerably more ass. That said hearing comfortably numb is still better than watching all but the best cinema.

| − | ===Quotes===
| |
| − | :''In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed — they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.''
| |
| − | -Harry Lime (Orson Welles from the Third Man)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :''Most people rebel because they want to be accepted or admired by others.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | :''Democracies rarely exhibit much authoritarian behavior except in transition to or from authoritarian states. Many (if not most) citizens of authoritarian states do not perceive their state as authoritarian until late in its development. This makes it difficult to label modern states as 'democratic' or 'authoritarian'. People make this difficulty worse when they use these terms without clear definitions.'' - Wikipedia
| |
| − | | |
| − | :''I AM big. It's the PICTURES that got small.''
| |
| − | -Norma Desmond (Sunset Boulevard)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :''Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?''
| |
| − | -Mr. Blonde
| |
| − | :''It's better to burn out than to fade away''
| |
| − | -Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :''That's like your opinion man''
| |
| − | -The Dude (The Big Lebowski)
| |

| − | :''Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!''
| |
| − | -Steve Ballmer
| |
| − | | |
| − | :''You have all one job today, to get Vincent Chase's brother Johnny Chase a job. Any job. I don't care if it is a porn shoot in which he is being gang-raped by a gaggle of silverback apes. If there are cameras rolling, everybody wins.''
