Yeah, this is my user page. Come play in my Sandbox!
My name is Dale, I live in San Antonio, Texas. I'm essentially an inclusionist.
My Contributions! W00t! Read 'Em and LOL!
Edit Counter I found at Bisco's userpage.
[edit] General
I am a standard Celtic-pattern male human (translation: I'm redheaded, blue-eyed, and white as a ghost!), Sagittarius, model year 1981, born in Louisiana, southeast of New Orleans in a place called Gretna. My interests are reading, science, computers, the internet, science fiction, logic, spirituality (note I did not say religion which is another animal entirely), cannabis, and guys (yes I'm gay. If you have a problem with that, we can hash it out in logical debate or, failing that, a Quake deathmatch!)

[edit] Politics
Ah, Politics! The bane of all civilized discourse among civilized beings across the galaxy! Socially I'm quite liberal, or as Bill O'Reilly puts it, LIEberal! I believe that no government or institution has the right to interfere with the activities of consenting adults so long as they do no harm, regardless of what activities they be; nor does aforementioned government have the right to discriminate against anyone on any basis whatsoever.
Fiscally I'm conservative; A small, efficient government is the best. I'm also conservative and a bit isolationist with foreign policy: Keep strong alliances; don't piss on potential enemies; do what must be done to secure democracy and human dignity, not covetous conquest for other people's oil; respect ally and enemy alike; and be fair.
I am for a strong military, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, to be safe in their effects and papers against unreasonable zeitgeist-driven witch-hunts (War on Terror, anyone?), and sternly against censorship.
I am against the wasteful and hateful War on Drugs. It is a racist version of Prohibition slightly warmed-over and it has failed just like its predecessor, foisted upon us by fundamentalists and a federal government run amok. Get rid of it, and get the Prison-Industrial Complex out of American politics! The War on Drugs is a War on the American People!
[edit] Spirituality
My beliefs can best be described as pantheist in that all prophets have something to add to the human experience, and that all should be considered fairly. I'm of the opinion that organized megachurch religion is completely destroying the message our gods and goddesses have given to us for selfish, destructive, and evil ends; and therefore are all Heresy. Religion in politics can only lead to Fundamentalism, Totalitarianism, and Tyranny; and is also Heresy. Picking and choosing small out-of-context snippets from texts considered Holy to justify hatred, persecution, and murder of any subset of any population is the epitome of Heresy.
Spirituality is something to be pursued alone or with the guidance of a trusting partner (possibly also with chemical assistance of the mind-altering kind), not at the fifty-ninth pew of a twenty-million-dollar megachurch with a zealot spewing misguided hatred toward his fellow human being from the pulpit.
Tips for the angry new user. (shamelessly stolen from Gamaliel.)
Ultimately Wikipedia is a failure because of the arrogant elitist attitude shared by many of its editors, and indeed a great deal of its administration. Proof of this absolute rot within the structure of Wikipedia can be found in the following pages. How NOT to steal a SideKick 2, Stardestroyer.net, Spacebattles.com, Battlefield 2 Ranks, List of weapons in Halo: Combat Evolved, and the Administrator AlistairMcMillan. You will notice that many of these pages do not exist anymore. That is the core of the rot that is destroying Wikipedia. The Elitist who only want Wikipedia to have pages they like. Falsely labeling something and using fallacious reasoning to get it deleted. Hiding behind the rules when it suits them, outright ignores the rules when it doesn't. Unilateral decision making that outright rejects consensus, and outright lies and deception to put the opposition off balance. I have completely lost confidence with Wikipedia and will never trust any of its procedures and rules again seeing as they have been ignored by those who are charged with enforcing them.
