<big>'''About Me'''</big>
*I am a [[libertarian]], and very much so!
**Actually, I'm a social and economic [[conservative]]. The difference between me and most conservatives is not what I believe, but where I think the government should step in for my beliefs.
**Feel free to ask me about my positions. I love talking politics with open-minded, rational people
*In 2008 I graduated from [[Bucknell University]] with a [[bachelor of science]] degree in [[chemical engineering]]. Now I'm a financial analyst at a commercial door company.
**I was at one point pursuing a minor in [[political science]]
***I have a good working base of political science, political theory and [[international politics]]
**I also have taken courses in [[economics]], [[logic]], and [[probability]]
**Now my work life revolves around [[Microsoft Excel]].
<Big>'''My Editing Philosophy'''</big>
#Noncontroversial edits are ''usually'' ok
#I will always follow the [[Conservapedia:Guidelines|Guidelines]] and [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Commandments]] (G&C)
#I will attempt to make all articles follow the G&C, and encourage other editors to do likewise
#Essay pages are opinion
#Mainspace pages are fact
#''No [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User:Aziraphale/Tilting_at_Windmills&oldid=296120 tilting at windmills]!
#I will not treat someone's work differently because of their "status"; this is a community project
#I will not revert anything added to a talk page, unless a user swears or edits another user's words
#The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a new result
<big>'''Pet Peeves'''</big>
(In no particular order)
#Plagiarism is the use of another's words as one's own without giving proper credit. This is true even if you "paid for it" and have permission to use it
#Selected examples do ''not'' prove a trend. If you want to show that "most people do X" by example, you can never prove your point with examples
#Don't use "literally" if you mean "figuratively". Don't use "literally" if there's no figurative way to take what you say.
#Improper use of political lables. "Conservative" may, in most cases, be the opposite of "liberal", but there are numerous other ideologies which don't line up on a 1-dimentional scale!
#Improper use of numbers! (P(BC|Ab)>P(BC|P) does not imply that P(BC|Ab)>P(BC)!!)
#"Ironic" means that something happened opposite to what you expect to happen. A woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is sad. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is coincidence. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by an ''insulin'' truck is ironic.
#Finding "please add more" on a wiki page. For one, lists rarely make a good article (and often contribute to pet peeve #2); additionally, all wikis are works in progress, so there's always an implied assumption to add more to an article.
#More to come <!-- now *that* is ironic humor -->
