Albert Relentless persuit for inspiration.
Into the night
I walk alone into the night;
into its shadowy silence
where myriad diamonds light
the sky with twinkling luminance;
where its nocturnal clutch conjures
imaginary images: . . . more

Describe Yourself:
I am intelligent and sensuous. I can be profound and profane. I dance to the beat of one drum- the drum that I created.
I know what love is but I am confounded by hate. I believe in a higher order of things; at the same time, false tenets and promises that the gullible majority is fettered to sickens me.
I fashion my life around Ayn Rand's Philosophy...somewhat! Like her, I believe that independence and individual achievement enable society to survive and thrive, but we part ways when she abandons God. Like her I dismiss faith beyond empirical reason. The kind that makes feeble attempts of authority over my own mind.

Wish List:

I believe/disbelieve:
*I do not believe in original sin. To actually believe that since the dawn of Man all succeeding generations are tainted with sin is ludicrous.The only useful purpose I see in that belief is to legitimize organized religion in which I do not espouse membership. ,
*I do believe in the reincarnation of souls. Their continued cleansing Journeys and their judged and determined return journey back to a deserving host.,
* I believe that the Federal Government should have two functions,
and only two: National Security and Interstate commerce,
period. Everything else should be the responsibility of the individual states.,
*I believe that the present federal banking system should be abolished and reinstate the gold standard.,
This would solve the deficit problem that plagues us. Inflation would disappear because the government would not be allowed to print currency exceeding the country's gold reserve. This would mean an automatic balancing of the nations budget.,
*I believe that children and their spouses who expect their parents to baby-sit their children while they work for an employer is the height of selfishness.,
*I believe that the only good politician is a dead one. This does not mean that bodily harm should befall them. It means,
once they are dead they can no longer do anything that could hurt you ,
and that's a good thing. ,
*I believe that the marked emphases on sports,
most of today's so-called music and unintelligent Leisurely choices are a grand scheme by the government to keep it's people permanently stupid,
in order to avoid the possibility of them discovering how exploited they actually are by the people at the top.,
*I do not believe in national healthcare for a number of reasons: First,
it will increase government to manage a program of this kind. We do not need more government; we need less. Secondly,
we have become more socialistic with these liberal programs where it is becoming more difficult to discern the differences between our form of government and some socialistic State. And lastly,
the cost. This program will cost trillions to be funded with middle-class wages with ever increasing caps on these wages. Similar to the increasing caps we see on our other social program,
Social Security. It is not beyond reason that half of a middle-class workers wages will be consumed by taxes to fund our too many social programs that now exist.
