You know those bloggie questionaires, that incisive single question , “Whats your favourite type of peanut butter sandwich?” that will decide which German philosopher you are … you hit the button & up pops “You are Friedrich Nietzsche. Your entire philospy was cynically manipulated by the Nazis to suit their own diobolical ends”. Well of course I am. More in like this from Rum & Monkey who thinks your humble correspondent is

a software engineer from Indiana. You have worked as a computer programmer in such auspicious places as the Zion & Diablo Canyon nuclear power plants. You also created computer simulations that were integral to the creation of the stealth bomber, but had to flee your California home when the state enacted strict gun laws. Naturally, you relocated to Texas. Largely motivated by your gun rights activism, you initially ran for office as part of the Libertarian party in 2000; in 2004 you’re running again, and attempting to promote a campaign for States’ rights. In most cases you oppose regulation – for example against offensive content in broadcast media, & in abortion cases – & believe in free trade wherever possible. Controversially, you believe in privatising education entirely, eliminating the Department of Education; you also believe in eliminating any sort of public health care. Who needs those poor people anyway? Laissez faire, baby!
