Hi, I'm Kurt Weber, wikipedian-sort of and denizen of #wikipedia on Freenode (irc.freenode.net).
I am a resident of Princeton, Indiana (actually a few miles outside of it).
I am a radical ardent Libertarian Individualist extremist (for various reasons I will NOT refer to myself as an "Objectivist" even though I find it to be quite a valid philosophy in and of itself), and seek nothing short of the entire destruction of socialism and collectivism in my lifetime. Paradoxically, then, some of my favorite writers happen to be self-described socialists such as George Orwell and (fellow Hoosier/fellow Kurt) Kurt Vonnegut, although my appreciation of the latter has waned as I have realized that his stories have no plot whatsoever.
I was for some time a member of Southwind Drum & Bugle Corps of Lexington, KY; however, I was beset by medical problems that precluded my participation in the corps's competitive season.
My home page My attempt to compile a list of everyone who has ever lived
Cranks
I am the creator of Template:Crank, which looks like this:
I created a few weeks after someone (probably only half-jokingly) suggested it in #wikipedia; however, it has usefulness. Use it where needed, but be prepared to back it up.
Other Misplaced Pages Stuff
I am a participant in the Stub Sorting WikiProject.
Quotes and Observations
"The difference between myself and socialists is that I want freedom for everyone, whereas socialists only want freedom for those who don't have something they want (and EVERYBODY has something a socialist wants)."
"A field of study can be safely considered complex when it starts using Hebrew letters for symbols."
"Given a sufficiently strong spring, any Maglite battery compartment cover is impossible to close."
"The most amazing thing in the world is how the company that makes Maglites manages to stay in business. The most any person would need at any one time is three--one for the house, one for the car, and one kept with all his camping gear. And those three will last forever, and will likely wind up being passed on to the grandchildren, who will pass them on to their grandchildren, ad infinitum. So where are all these new sales coming from?"
"Revolution becomes necessary, or at least justified, when government seeks to deny its citizens the means of planning or carrying out a revolution."
