== An Ex-Wikipedian and Classical Conservative ==
This user is a classical Conservative in the European sense of the
word. Burke is one of my idols and I believe religion can be a positive
force in society, regardless of whether it is Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or
Hindu. While I support public pay-in insurance systems (it's been proven
in most cases to result in less expensive premiums for the insured), I
do not support the Finnish myth that all people have the same capacity
and have a right to exactly the same things.
I also am adamently against a culture where being extra talented or
gifted is seen as something people should hide or be ashamed of. A society
works best when we together celebrate the different talents and make sure
people with gifts are able to find their way to where they are needed in
society. It's like being on the same team where every player has a special
talent and task.
'''My Wikinightmare'''
I am a refugee of the Wikipedia edit wars. I gradually became disillusioned
with the fact that "anyone or anything" was allowed to edit, regardless of
how much they knew about a subject.... and boy can some ignorant people be
very arrogant! I think an encyclopedia should be a wholesome and intellectual hobby environment where everybody learns something through a respectful debate.
