we're both introverts. he's quite a writer, though. mostly funny stuff. his life philosophy is that if he can make someone laugh and forget their troubles for a minute, his day wasn't wasted.

i respect that if you're half serious. "if you think the economy is more important than the environment, try counting your money while holding your breath." warming is the paramount issue of our time.

Political Views - Anarcho-Capitalist/Individualist

Philosophical Views - Free will, Individualism, Free Markets, Non Aggression Principle, and a pluralistically Stateless society

Religious Views - Non-Denominational Protestant (Somewhere between a Presbyterian and a Free Will Baptist)

The best views ones that one can have.


Indeed. Hard Work, Modesty, and Free Will go hand in hand.

What do you think about Laissez-Faire Capitalism.


Laissez Faire Capitalism is the driving force of individualism and the economic path to liberty.

Isn't any monarchy traditionally based from religion (i.e. Christian rulers of Europe in the dark ages) though?

Political: Fiscal conservative, Social centrist, Limited government, Civil liberties, Responsible citizenship.

Philosophical: "Respect the Law", "Live and let live" and the Golden Rule; but if you hurt me or mine, then I am your worst nightmare.

Religious: Generally Christian -- if it's what Jesus said, then I try to live by it, with few exceptions (see above).
