Howdy Ya'll I'm the oddity of oddities: a bright, inquisitive, open-minded non-racist, articulate, brash, and southern white conservative. Yes, we do exist! I am a straight-edge punk, though of the non-militant, non-vegan variety, and I am also a major fan of steampunk I am currently an undergraduate at Texas Tech University, majoring in Chemical Engineering. My current financial circumstances have put my studies on hiatus, but I plan to return to college and complete my degree as soon as times are better. In the mean time, I have been focusing on my other major passion besides engineering, my art. "The Greatest general is not the one who wins one thousand battles out of one thousand fought. The greatest general is the one who wins one thousand battles without fighting." -Sun Tzu The Art of War Smith :"Why do you fight, Mr. Anderson, when you know that you will lose? Is it for freedom or truth?! Perhaps peace?! Could it be for love?! These are merely temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose, and all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself. Why, Mr. Anderson?! Why, why, why do you persist?!" Neo :"Because I choose to." -Matrix: Revolutions

This user is a WikiOgre. About my username My username is a web handle that I have used for some time now (going on ten years now). If you run across a Scorpion451 in the rankings on an online game or in a forum, it might be me.(but don't assume it's me, because it might just be the 451st person to choose the name "scorpion" on that site. That goes double if it's a forum and you think I insulted you.) One could say that my username is a reflection of my principals and personality. The name has two parts, both of which have a meaning for me. Scorpions are generally not agressive, but neither are they docile. Likewise, I do not seek conflict, but I will not passively back down from a challenge. The 451 is purposefully chosen number, a nod toward the novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. In my opinion, we are striding towards the world Ray Bradbury described; a world dominated by Political Correctness, where anything that could make someone "feel bad", is forbidden. This culminates in the outlawing of books, which are burned on sight. It is a world in which people seek escape from their problems in a world of flash, self-indulgence, and noise. We should not forget the lesson of Rome.

This user is a member of the Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTAD Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia. This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
