Introduction Who am I? I am Charles Lester, a brilliant, creative, and imaginative individual who lusts for life itself. I am an Objectivist, an independent thinker, a creator. I love the creative mind, I admire the mighty, the heroic. I view man as a heroic being by nature, and strive to achieve my potential in this respect. I live for personal gain and satisfaction. I ask no one to sacrifice themselves to me, and will refuse to willingly sacrifice myself to anyone else. I know that REASON is the ONLY means by which man gains knowledge. I do not believe in divine revelation as a means towards this end. I regard ALL forms of mystical religion as fraudulent, and primitive. I do not acknowledge your god, nor will I discuss him or what he means to you. I am honest, forthright, and grounded in reality. I am a true conservative which is liberal in terms of political freedom. This means a true and un-compromised appreciation of Individual rights, as the most fundamental aspect of a free and civilized society. Charles
