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.
