'''Simon Christopher Jessey''' (born [[6 March]] [[1971]]) is a [[British]] web designer and college instructor, currently living in [[Malvern, Pennsylvania]]. |
|||
==Biography== |
|||
I was born in [[Rochford]], [[Essex]], the son of Michael and Brenda Jessey ([[List of French phrases used by English speakers|née]] Chorley) and spent most of my childhood in [[Ashtead]], [[Surrey]]. Between 1988 and 2001, I worked as a videotape editor for a [[Wandsworth]]-based corporate video production company. Following an [[internet romance]], I met and married an American web developer. I am now a part-time college instructor, [[Web design|web designer]], [[web standards]] evangelist and full-time Wikipedian. |
|||
==Politics and religion== |
|||
I would describe myself loosely as a [[Conservative liberalism|conservative liberal]]. From the liberal perspective I am [[pro-choice]] (although I'd rather see abortion avoided, of course), a [[Secularism|secularist]], and I believe strongly in free speech; however, I advocate minimizing the tax burden and reducing state intervention. Although I am generally in favor of small government, I believe there are some social support structures that are absolutely necessary and must not be compromised for the sake of low taxes (health care, education, social security, etc.). I dislike government corruption, lobbying, and any kind of [[pork barrel]] politics. I would categorize myself as an [[Implicit and explicit atheism|explicit atheist]], insofar as I regard the concept of a god or gods to be ridiculous. I think that religion (particularly "organized" religion) does more harm than good, and should be actively discouraged. |
