User: Ford

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

O.T. Ford

Generalist in world studies, based in Indianapolis, but originally from West Lafayette, in Hoosierland. Particular interest in recent history, geography, language and symbols, and the nature and practice of dominion. Proponent of transcendent rationalism, and its corollary, stewardship.

I agree with the sentiments of some that calling a thing by its proper name is important — dictatorship, rule, oppression, murder. That is much of the point of the above pages, particularly Earth as it is. I am happy to deal in controversy elsewhere; but Wikipedia, with its open format, is not the place. Barely days after discovering the encyclopedia, I was already exhausted with the “Is not. Is too.” debates. Wikipedia is a voluntary community; unlike public society, no one is compelled to participate, and therefore no one should be blatantly violating its founding premises.
