'''An analysis of me, done through What is Your World View?
You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.
==Some thoughts on President Bush and his worldview==
{{Message_box| id =POTS-appointment| backgroundcolor =White| image =USPresidentialSeal.jpg| heading =George W. Bush will leave office in January 2009.| message =The world is counting the minutes.}}
{{Message_box| id =POTS-appointment| backgroundcolor =white| image =George-W-Bush.jpeg| heading = The Georgian Creed| message = I believe in George Herbert, the father almighty creator of American power on earth
and of wars, seen and unseen.
I believe in George Duyba, his most important son, our president.
He was conceived by the oil industry
born of the blessed Barbara
suffered under Bill Clinton
and was crucified, losing the election.
He descended unto the Supreme Court
At the inauguration he rose again
and ascended in power
where he is seated at the old desk of the Father
so that in wars he can choose
the living and the dead.
I believe in election influence of Jeb Bush,
A powerful Republican Party,
Communion with Congress
the forgiveness of voters
the resurrection of the party
and the Bush Family everlasting.
Amen.

My favourite 'jokes' from wiki pages:
* RAM disk is NOT an installation instruction!
* What is a Canadian but an unarmed American with healthcare?
* Joke doing the rounds c. 1990:
God visits President George Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Ian Paisley to announce the impending end of the world. They report the news to their colleagues.
George Bush announces to his cabinet: "Friends, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have definite proof that God exists, because He has spoken with me, and the bad news is that the world's going to end tomorrow."
Mikhail Gorbachev announces to the CPSU Presidium: "Comrades, I have bad news and worse news. The bad news is that the God, who we have been denying for the last 70 years, exists, for He has spoken with me, and the worse news is that the world's going to end tomorrow."
Ian Paisley announces to the UUP leadership: "Friends, I have good news and better news. The good news is that I have proof that the Lord our God exists, because I have spoken with Him, and the better news is that He has told me that there will NEVER be a united Ireland!".

Question: If we have to go back a while in terms of content, does this mean -
* 1. That out deletions are undeleted?
* 2. That our undeletions are deleted?
* 3. Will that make GrahamN happy or unhappy?
* 4. Does this mean we have to rename pages - Votes_for_Deletion becomes Votes_for_Redeleting_Undeletions (VfRU) and Votes_for_Undeletion becomes Votes_for_Undeleting_Redeleted_Undeletions (VfURU). And if so, as User:MyRedDice any suggestions for how we can keep the contents, maybe even the titles of the pages, under 32K?
* 5. Does that mean our hardbanned people now become only squiggely banned?
* 6. Does that mean we might lose the records of some of Michael 2417 identities?
* 7. Does that mean that DW might become a wiki version of the Undead, the 'Unbanned'?
* 8 Does that mean we might have lost 172's reversion of Fred Bauder's additions to Communist_State, Fred Bauder's reversions of 172's reversions, 172's reversions of Fred Bauder's reversions of 172's reversion, Fred bauder's reversions of 172's reversions of Fred Bauder's reversions of 172's reversion, my reversion of Fred Bauder's reversion of 172's reversion of Fred Bauder's reverson of 172's reversions of Fred Bauder's reversions of 172's reversion of Communist_State?
* 9. When Wiki re-opens, will we find that it was all secretly a lockout by Pizza Puzzle so he could rewrite New_Imperialism without anyone stopping him?
* 10. Will Liza_Minnelli have found a new husband by the time wiki reopens for business?
* 11. Will David_Gest have found a new husband by the time wiki reopens for business?

Hey, there's always Fred Bauder's Internet-Encyclopedia. http://www.internet-encyclopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Main_Page Anyone want to join me and get user accounts? 172 13:40 Jul 28, 2003 (CEST)
:It looks so . . . so . . . wikipedian. What is it? Wikipedia for Reaganites? You know, it ''desparately'' needs an article on Communist_state. What say you? Oh and as it likes opinion as opposed to NPOV, wouldn't a nice gentle article saying how Stalin was one of the greatest intellectual leaders in Russian history suit its acceptance of POV oh so well? Or an article on the People's_Republic_of_China, Liberation_theology, Marxism_for_beginners, How_Communist_Intellectualism_Benefits_Humanity, Nixon_was_a_Socialist, The_Sandinista_Revolution:_An_inspiration_for_America, Fidel_Castro's_collected_speeches, Daughters_of_the_Russian_revolution. Maybe even New_Imperialism/Temp and New_Imperialism could find mutually accepting homes there. Yes, Fred's POV creation could prove ''such'' fun! And there we were all wondering where had be gone to? We missed him ''so'' terribly. FearÉIREANN 13:10 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in but i noticed a conversation you had on the British isles discussion page where you referred to the Book "The Isles" by Norman_Davis.
Can i recommend to you two books on Cornish history.
Mark_Stoyle "West_Britons, Cornish identities in the early modern British state"
Philip_Payton "Cornwall a history"
Both excellent and place the Cornish in their rightful context as a distinct peoples of the Atlantic Archipelago. Bretagne 44 6/02/05
