I have always been a Colorado libertarian male. But my name is not Damocels. There may have been a different poster by that name, but not one I remember.
Desh is very confused. I hate undeclared war, and despised our actions in Iraq because of that. Nation building wars are the most hosed up mess we've ever gotten into, and I will always reject military action taken in undeclared debacles.
I am a constitutionalist. I will always be a constitutionalist. If I believed in a god I would believe that the Constitution was divinely inspired, but I don't believe in a god. I am a Theravada Buddhist.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle
