About
In brief:
I am a 25 year old American, ex-Army Soldier and Korean linguist. I still live in Korea and attend Kyunghee University. My major is Philosophy.

After the failing of der kulturkampf, and after a long hiatus from the world of semi-serious blogging, with the encouragement, help and effort of Terry Murphy (Adam’s dad) I am back in business. I was very pleased being that before I could even do anything Terry got me this url and Word Press account, which I consider to be such an excellent gift.
I have been encouraged by other members of the Conservative Punk community, namely WonkJim, Bucky, Cracker X, Pete Ramone, Ampdead et al. Much of my inspiration I owe to here.
But on another note, my political inspirations have come from reading John Locke’s Treatise On Government and understanding the world in the context of the basic human rights which we have. Much of my notions on morality and other personal ideas come from Jesus Christ, Lao-tzu (Tao Teh Ching) and Chuang-tzu (Book Of Chuang-tzu). I also think one can expect future commentary concerning moral issues and moral lessons — politics is best understood in the context of the morally proper things to do.
The intent of the site is to provide political news and commentary as well as expose other writings that I create. The blog should involve translations from Korean and possibly, eventually, Korean commentary. But more than this, a lot of creative writing and philosophy / religious ideas could be going into this. I do not want it to feel limited anymore than my own person is limited.
Although it would be nice to see a lot of traffic from other parts, the blog is very much so meant to keep personal friends and contacts informed as well as provide archives of important events and ideas for future reference. I feel like there is a lot that can be added and that over the years it will become a good personal resource.
I would like to thank everyone in advance for reading my ramblings and hearing out what I have to say.
Thanks.
