: About Me

Currently I am a undergraduate student at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pa. I study economics and mathematics. How this happened I have yet to figure out. But for the time being I'm happy, so it's good.

I am a major fan of media (film, books, music) and have tastes that I will define as eccentric, although I'm sure others would pick slightly different adjectives. I love Pittsburgh sports as much as any and have since I was a kid. I enjoy a spoonful of philosophy, a helping of history, and a large portion of economics and finance. Might be why those happen to be my majors. I am always open to write/converse about any of these topics, so feel free to contact me if you wish.

I write because it is the only way that I can help change the world at the moment. The only way to make my mark. So hopefully you will read what I have to say and it will make some kind of impact. Hopefully you will enjoy it, I presume quite the opposite but either way I hope for your comments on my pieces.

Often there is a simple answer to questions like these. All too often governments seem to select the "answer" that is simplest for them. Yes, by selecting the simple answer, it makes the role of government that much easier. By selecting the simple answer, they distribute the cost among taxpayers across the state. When done so, the 3.5 million residents of the state begin to pay for something, which many do not or will never use. Thus the problem that stems from this plan. What makes this plan easiest, however, is the government will seldom hear a complaint about the issue. The hit on each ...
