| Introduction | I want to be free. I like skillfully created and beautiful things, good food, much music, and better living through free trade and technology. I know the value of mental effort and therefore am a capitalist (reformed from being something of a democrat that rejected most of the stagnant environment around me because it called itself capitalist and wasn't ...though I finally saw through it after reading "The Fountainhead", "Atlas Shrugged", and "Why Government Doesn't Work" and later Lysander Spooner, Milton Friedman, et alee). |
| Interests | I want to see at least one free capitalist country produce a new industrialist revolution while I am alive. |
