I have been using the nickname n01getsout for a long time. It comes from the lyrics to The Doors song "Five to One". I first got it as a AOL screen-name. (Boy did I ever hate AOL). I have used it as my online identity ever since. Chances are, if you ever see n01getsout in a game or on the internet, it is me.

I started n01getsout.com back sometime in 2004. I tend to get lost browsing the web when I start working on my site, so I don't update it nearly as much as I should. Please let me know if you find any inaccuracies, spelling errors, broken links, etc.

I have fallen in love with freeware. Not that I paid for software before, but I figure that this is a much better and more legal way of going about it. I have found that most free software is of good enough quality for most users that it will do everything they need. I occasionally run across a freeware program that is much better quality than it's commercial competitors and I know the only reason anyone would pay for the commercial software is because they didn't realize that the freeware version exists. I created the freeware list to help inform people that good software can be free. Be sure to check out my article on How Free is Free.

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." - Mark Twain

I think President W. Bush is a bad President. I figure I should say that right now. He is not my President. I don't think he won the first election and I have no idea how he was reelected (Diebold). I believe he is trying to do a good job on some things, but money and his own personal agenda drives many of his decisions. I think he believes that he knows better that the rest of the country and therefore does what he wants without any thought or consideration on how it affects others or what their opinions on the matter are. I also believe that Bush is determined to sell America. Bush has borrowed more money than every other U.S. President before him combined. The ancient Roman Empire was destroyed not by terrorists or another army, it was destroyed by corruption and greed. Their economy collapsed because of inflation and unemployment (read more about the fall of Rome). I think that the privatization of our military, prisons, social security, and other important parts of our government will lead to the downfall of our beloved country. I love America and would hate to see that happen to our country, and yet it has never been worse than it is under the current Bush administration. Our government should be "of the people, by the people, and for the people", not "of the Corporations, by the hardworking poor, and for the obscenely rich".

I think I am moderate on many things: gun control should be limiting access to automatic weapons and not bayonets and pistol grips, that religion should be neither encourage nor discouraged in schools and government facilities, and that marriage should be between a man and a woman but that gay couples should be able to have legal civil unions that allow them to get the same tax breaks, medical insurance, and other legal and financial benefits that married couples have. The U.S. Constitution does not ban its citizens from doing anything, and I do not think that the government should be able to amend the Constitution to do so (gay marriage). I think that the US Patriot Act is unconstitutional and should be changed.
