Re: About me (and you) [Re: Redstorm]

I am a 47 year old IT professional (analyst/developer/programmer/code monkey).  I had been a self employed consultant for about a decade, but decided a couple of years ago to seek employment, as I knew a severe economic downturn was inevitable and I thought the least I could do would be to qualify for unemployment and recoup some of my hard-earned tax dollars if the need should arise. 

I have engaged my mind with writings of the founders of the United States, along with such other luminaries as Lao Tse, Sun Tzu, Niccolò Machiavelli, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Paine and Henry David Thoreau.  I am a political agnostic.  Meaning, I am suspicious of anyone or group which seeks power over others, regardless of their rhetoric, stated intentions or avenue(s) by which power is to be exercised.  Business, health, communitarian, military, religious, ethnic, racial and environmental interests in the political realm are all equally suspect and should be presumed guilty until proven innocent.  Conversely, I do not trust anarchy as politically practical, as observation, experience and critical thought has taught me that that human nature appears to see opportunity in a power vacuum.  Anarchy seems to inevitably give way to some form of government either from external conquest or internal (to the society) power lust.

My opinions are subject to change given a well supported argument based on verifiable facts, logic and an appeal to my innate moral sense.
