I value my identity but I also value my anonymity, so forgive me if I keep my name hidden. There are three things which I value most in my life: Love, Truth and Beauty. You can decide for yourself what I mean by each of those. I currently live in Italy, though the plan is to move to America this August, where I was born. I love history, but my interest is limited by my frustration at all the chaos that surrounds it. I will probably never know what really happened in any instance, as time has truth hidden behind many layers of opinion and corruption. My favorite book is The Divine Comedy, or La Divina Commedia, by Dante Alighieri. My greatest ambition is to produce a similar work in English, using the same rhyming pattern (terza rima), perhaps with a slight modification. My passion for poetry has led me to start on this project and I hope to finish the first book (as there will most likely be three, just like Dante's) before I am out of my teens. I am currently enrolled in a local liceo (high school) and when I move back to America I will either attend senior year or skip the last year and go straight to university. I will most likely choose a classical college, as my interests have recently led me to study Philosophy, Latin, Greek and European History. Ironically enough, I attend a scientific high school and when I lived in America I attended NUAMES, (Northern Utah Academy for Math, Engineering and Science) so I happen to have a little bit of knowledge about everything. I do know however, that in comparison to all of the knowledge that awaits me I know NOTHING. Thank you Socrates, for helping me realize that. I love writing poems, and hope to someday publish a book of poems. (Kind of like Dante's La Vita Nuova, but hopefully a little less sappy) I dream of a united world, a dream which is far far away from becoming reality yet I still hope can one day be achieved. I am against the idea of individualism, as the world itself seems to shout out pride and arrogance at me. I realize that families are at the base of life, and that promoting such things as homosexuality is at the same time demoting the idea of family, a tradition which has been around since the beginning of time, and will be around only as long as we want to be. What I mean by that is this: If you demote the idea of family, you might as well promote the idea of WWIII. I feel kind of strongly about this, and I apologize to all those who are offended by my radical sometimes closeminded opinion of things. Most people would choose to argue against the idea of what I just said being radical, but as homosexuality has become a sort of a trend that has taken hold in everyone's minds I think that it is radical enough in today's world. I believe that the Roman baths may have had to do with their great fall, and I see the increase in homosexuality as a sign that history is repeating itself. I've said what I feel that has to be said...

I'm not done with my article yet, so I'll have to come back and finish it later.
