The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I'm the professor of worklessness.
Postanarchist. My recipe for anarchy: 1) Weaponization/Gun rights 2) Agorism/Counter-economics 3) Absenteeism/General strike 4) Anti-consumerism
For: basic income, drug use, entertainment, freedom, gluttony, gratis, gun rights, internet, leisure, new man, panarchy, piracy, pleasure, sex-positivity.
Against: animal rights, authoritarianism, categorization, conservatism, democracy, discrimination, genders, prices, races, states, taboos, taxation, work.
Think of me as the grey area between far right and far left. I don't believe in the left-right axis, so I am neither left nor right. Rather, I am off the axis.

I work in entertainment.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

theres nothing wrong with dog meat. try and get a vegetable raised dog though

and dog is the national animal of Mexico and Britain (Bulldog)
Chinese national symbol is the Panda

I have spent most of my time in law, ministry, and college instruction.

Along the way I enjoyed some stints as night auditor at major hotels and motels. I worked construction (cement) around a working brick kiln. I made pet beds, and shipped them by rail. I made foam rubber car seat covers. I made steel office furniture. I was a caddie. I baled hay. I painted houses, I drove a school bus. I played piano and guitar professionally. I worked on a surveyor's crew (in rattlesnake country). I was a community organizer. I worked as cognitive/behavioral staff for disturbed teens. I was a reporter for a local paper.

Motorized escort, actually. Which is pretty much the same thing as the MP, except with more emphasis on "military" and less on "police". Our respective jobs certainly do overlap a lot.
