| About Me: | I don't know why you'd want to concern yourself with this. So, I'll fill this space up with qualifications on a few of the checklist positions. |
| Beliefs: | I am an Objectivist, though more aligned with the David Kelley/TAS faction than the Leonard Peikoff/ARI faction. For those unfamiliar with this, it means, in short, that in matters of ultimate reality, what you see is what you get; that reasoning from experience and the abstractions made from experience is the root of all knowledge; that man exists for his own sake (i.e. one's own life is an end in itself), and that the only societal arrangement compatible with these statements is the free market- the prohibition of non-retaliatory force and fraud against persons and their property from human relations. |

Cornwall should have a devolved Assembly/Parliament
By Cornwall, I mean the southwest extremity of the United Kingdom, the Duchy of Cornwall. It is officially part of England, but is actually one of the six "Celtic nations." There was a Cornish language, similar to Welsh and Breton, but this only exists in a reconstructed form. It is, however, not part of England, and thus deserves its own Assembly, as Wales and Scotland have. Even if it remained part of the UK, the Cornish should be spared the indignity of remaining the only Celtic nation still...
Abortion
[Definitions] For clarity I pose the following definitions. Trimester: 3 months Conception: meeting of the sperm and egg [Contention] I hereby propose illegalizing abortion after the 21st day of conception except to save a woman's life, or in the case of rape or incest. [Reasons] 1. On the 21st day after conception the fetal heart starts to beat and most major organs are functioning. The common law definition of death is the stoppage of a heartbeat and most functioning organs. Mos...
Barack Obama's Health Care Plan is simply this... Better than McCains!!!
My argument is simple as this... Barack Obama's plan to solve our healthcare crisis is better than McCains! 1. It involves NO government hound-outs!!! 2. It balances inusrance costs by UNAVOIDABLE competition...not by the possible comptetion that McCain hopes will happen 3. Creates an enduring fence around healthcare costs that isnt hands on or government controlled. Its free-market! Unlike McCains plan, Barack's will last indefinately, not provide only immediate relief. 4. Obama's plan...
John McCain's Wicked Huge Let Down
Even before this election season hit off, I was hoping a for a McCain nomination. I have been a McCain fan ever since i looked into him. I had high hopes for him when he announced his candidacy for president again. I thought that this was his time! I was quickly dissappointed though, and let me tell you why. John McCain quickly began to run a very dirty campaign that was fueled on bias, twisted words, and straight lies not straight talk. Mitt took the first swing with his anti-mccain ads, b...
CiRrO's philosophy and teaching ought to be embraced.
I don't know CiRrO personally, but I have studied his teachings and I believe that there is truth in what he says. I will outline his basic premises. I would really like to see what another member has to say. ****CiRro's Philosophy**** 1) The first absolute moral duty that each member of a society has is to uphold justice, in it's purest form. According to him, a society not built on justice is destined to crumble. 2) Sacrifices are necessary to ensure a greater stability, which i...
