[edit] Introduction
My friends criticize me for being too objective, and often being unwilling to let emotional context sway how I approach a situation. I can also be criticized for becoming too emotional or angry if pushed over that edge.
I do not like long walks on the beach unless it is night time, and park rangers are not coming to tell me I'm not allowed on the beach at night.
[edit] 2008 Presidential Race
I support Barack Obama for President, because I believe in national unity, the right to the pursuit of happiness and the audacity of hope.
[edit] Conspiracies
I don't believe in most conspiracies, but I believe dismissing them instinctively is as irresponsible and irrational as those that tend to believe in them.
For example, much like the King family, I don't believe James Earl Ray killed Martin Luther King Jr. (refer to allegations of conspiracy in article). On the other hand, I believe terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center
[edit] Education
I graduated with an BS in Mathematics from Elon University, received a Graduate Transition Certificate in Computer Science from Southern Polytechnic State University and am in the Master's of Information Science program at Georgia Tech.
[edit] People
I like Alton Brown
I like Nikola Tesla
I like Keith Olbermann
[edit] Politics
I honestly try not to push an agenda, but it has been known to happen. I hate ideologues, and fall in the category of social libertarian and economic liberal/socialist. I'm partly xenophobic and believe immigration should be more strictly controlled; believe there's no reason a teacher who is effective should receive less than 100k$ / year salary at the peak of his career; medicine or medical insurance should be nationalized and centralized,; Israel has a right to exist, is not imperialist in any way, and needs to chill and stop killing people now and then to begin peace talks.
I believe it can happen again, and it can happen in America.
