User:AndySimpson

Hello there. I'm an undergraduate philosophy student at the University of Arizona and sometime autodidact from Glendale, Arizona, USA, and I've been editing since mid-2005, first sporadically as an anonymous ip and now sporadically as a user. My first edit on this account was on 7 December 2005. Most of my contributions here have had to do with Politics, Philosophy, and the British Isles.
