: About Me

Female, natural-born Citizen of the United States of America.

I've been writing (mostly for my own enjoyment and education) since I was in my teens. Although, it now comes to mind that I wrote a story in 3rd grade about a broom ride with a witch named Esmerelda. It didn't occur to me then that I had any special talent; the whole class had to write a story of the same theme as an assignment. I'm not as good with stories as with poetry, this much I'm sure of.

My mother and father had radically different views of religion, though I'm not convinced either had a view of spirituality being distinct from dogma. My father was Anglican (whatever that is), and my mother raised me as a Jehovah's Witness. From an early age, I was disappointed with the religion on a practical level. They didn't seem to understand anything useful about children and quietly let them suffer through long adult-oriented talks as well as harsh parental discipline. Harsh enough that I have no reservation calling it abuse. It frightened the hell out of me. My parents themselves weren't particularly strict, though watching other children get several spankings within the course of 2 hours appealed to my own sense of pathos and outrage.

Eventually I was old enough to leave of my own volition and pursue my own meandering path. I'm happy where I'm at today, realizing that my beliefs will continue to evolve in time and context. Currently, I'm free to study any and all religions. Nothing more than a deist.

Arts & Humanities > Political Philosophy Why socialism cannot succeed

1 of 21

Socialism is ultimately doomed to failure because of its repressive nature. Governments are not capable to control the means of production and distribution because they are at cross purposes with people. Every human being is an individual with distinct desires, preferences, needs and capabilities. Governments like standardized forms and standardized processes. And more often than not, standardized behavior. Once one considers how many products there are to produce and distribute, the impossibility of a bureaucratic regime meeting demand becomes obvious. A random sampling: cotton balls, T-s...
