==Bulletpoint list of things about me==
*Armchair political activist
*Support Barack Obama; admire Ron Paul and admire(d) Kuchinich, but realism has to kick in at some point.
*Support decriminilisation of illegal recreational drugs.
*Generally prefer little government regulation of social affairs. Worry about a society that asks for a knee jerk reaction by government for every social problem we face.
*Consider myself moderate on economic issues, but most discussion about interest rates, mortgages, personal and national debts bore me.
*Looking at the possibility of going to [[San Francisco]] for the summer with a few friends, money (and lack thereof) may impair that,
*Love the Citizendium, its a great hobby and allows me to spend time studying in a productive way (My research and study translates into articles, which is nice)
*Agnostic; Though have battled with this for years. Have read the Bible cover to cover several times since I was about eleven years old.
*Unlike many Europeans, I've always liked America, the idea of America and the American dream. Her politics (Especially that whole debate over evolution, something that has never raised its ugly head over here) may not agree with me but something about the whole 'natural rights' thing always stirs me. Also, musn't forget that some of the great orators of the modern era hail from the states (Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy etc.)
===People I admire (In no particular order)===
*[[Barack Obama]]
*[[Joe Higgens]]
*[[John Hume]]
*[[Martin Mc Guiness]]
*[[Ian Paisley]] (For what him and Martin had achieved in the last year)
*[[Charles Kennedy]]
*[[Gordon Wilson]]
*[[Nelson Mandela]]
*[[Hillary Clinton]]
*[[Ron Paul]]
*[[Roy Keane]]

Just a reminder (above)

I am a student in Trinity College Dublin, in Second Year studying History. I am an all rounder with wide interests in history but no specific field of interest (Though I tend to look at history from a social and cultural perspective)
