I am a student of the human condition on how we as a species operate on a grand scale... I feel very strongly about ecological issues and social freedom. I believe the free market can be made to work in ways that are harmonious with the environment and the well-being of humanity through oversight and regulation. I favor human relationships over profit, but I do not believe in the destruction of the government. I believe economic behavior should be heavily regulated, and social behavior should be minimally controlled. basically... just ask :) This blog is about science, history, politics, atheism, humanity, society, and things that I think are interesting.

Imagine if the Westboro Church wasn’t affiliated with Christianity… there is NO way they’d be able to constantly say “God hates America” and not be deported/ killed by the FBI/ shipped away to be tortured in Guantanamo Bay if they weren’t white Christians.
As far as I’m concerned, they’re a government/ country risk but people mess around and let them have their “free speech” because they’re white and Christian.
