Hi, I'm Kurt Weber, wikipedian-sort of and denizen of #wikipedia on Freenode (irc.freenode.net). |

I am Kurt. I used to edit here a lot (and in the process made a lot of ignorant and hurtful remarks which I regret and of which I am quite ashamed); eventually, I realized how wrongheaded I had been. I'm now getting on with my life, working on a Ph.D., and am much happier than I used to be. |
|
I am an radical ardent Libertarian Individualist extremist (for various reasons I will NOT refer to myself as an "Objectivist" even though I find it to be quite a valid philosophy in and of itself), and seek nothing short of the entire destruction of socialism and collectivism in my lifetime. Paradoxically, then, some of my favorite writers happen to be self-described socialists such as George Orwell and (fellow Hoosier/fellow Kurt) Kurt Vonnegut. |

I was for some time a member of Southwind Drum & Bugle Corps of Lexington, KY; however, I was beset by medical problems that precluded my participation in the corps's competitive season. |

"''The most amazing thing in the world is how the company that makes Maglites manages to stay in business. The most any person would need at any one time is three--one for the house, one for the car, and one kept with all his camping gear. And those three will last forever, and will likely wind up being passed on to the grandchildren, who will pass them on to their grandchildren, ad infinitum. So where are all these new sales coming from?''" |
