    I am a Christian.  So, let me guess, most people assume things about me, because I am a Christian.  Of course, I can only say that because I assume some things about most people.  I assume most people think I think Bush is the Vicar of God.   Not at all.  I think Bush is a moron.  Of course, I think Gore is an idiot.  I mean what was up with that whole thumb thing during his speeches.  He looked like he was practicing pressing a button to detonate a nuclear device or something.
    If you need to know, I am a Marxist.  Actually, I am an Historical Lockian Marxist, but until I gain a wide enough audience to come up with my own term I have to explain to people what that term means.  I believe pretty much everything Marx did, except for the whole not believing in God thing or the part about taking only as much as you need (I prefer not to be alligned with Ayn Rand).  Of course, those are the two foundational beliefs of his philosophies, and that is where Locke comes in.  He taught that every person has the right to private property, but no person has the right to accumulate so much that the next person doesn't have the chance to accumulat any.  I could go into further detail, and I am working on posting something on theologyonline.com, but for now I will move on.
    As far as what I want to do with my writing, I want to change the world.  Why else would a person write?  Of course, there are those who waste ink, but I view writers as having a responsibility to the world.  Think of such people as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Elizabeth Gaskell, Upton Sinclair, and others who have used their writing to change the system over the years.  I have ideas brewing that will upset the delicate balance of the world, and I plan on making a lot of enemies.  Of course, I doubt I will get kicked out of as many coutries as Marx, if many, but I plan to make as big of a mark as him.
