About me

"I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have the liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation, Commerce and Agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study Painting, Poetry, Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry, and Porcelaine."

John Adams, 1780

I’m American and proud of it, but love and appreciate the world around me, and am always eager to learn about it. I do by best to stay unbiased when editing Wikipedia.

Beliefs and politics


Political parties

I tend to agree with George Washington, the 1st and in my opinion one of the best Presidents of the United States, that we should have no political parties or factions in the US. Nevertheless, I understand their importance, but prefer a multi-party system rather than our two-party system. Here are some political parties I would hypothetically support/vote for, or tend to agree with-from outside the US (I identify as a moderate independent on most issues). I find myself agreeing with aspects of a Pirate Party.

Historical figures

Some historical figures I like. Unlike Presidents of the United States (my home country), I think these leaders can/are admired on a global basis rather than a primarily domestic one. I still have some American Presidents here though, but not all my favorites.
