TWF, that T meaning taken - not officially tied up but not quite single either.

My fundamental values are equality, honesty and hard work.

Equality: Men and women, people of all races should be treated equal in terms of the baseline of what they get and what they owe. That means high inheritance tax, that means no affirmative action, that means the right to abortion for women and the right to responsibly opt out of a child's life for men (as long as the mother is informed with enough time to still have an abortion if she so chooses). That means pregnant women are no different from men when murdered and their killers should be sentenced as such, that means wages according to one's work and not according to one's need or social status.

Honesty: It's not always possible to ascertain the truth, and sometimes there is no true answer, especially on "how" and "why" questions. That's why I changed the name of this value from "truthfulness" to "honesty." Honesty is the attempt. It's the attempt to back up your opinions with data, and change your opinions if the data indicates that you're wrong. Honesty is trying to be fair and even-handed, and never intentionally deceiving. You don't have to answer any question, and it's okay to say you don't know; but if you give an answer, you better give as true an answer as you're able. Honesty is, most importantly, never lying to yourself. Believe what you believe whole-heartedly, and act according to those beliefs; and if you find evidence that your belief is wrong, don't hide it in a corner and pretend it doesn't exist. Confront yourself, challenge yourself, find out the truth of the matter and modify your behavior accordingly.

Hard work: Them as do more work deserve more respect. Them as don't do work, or profit by reducing the reward of those who work, deserve hanging.

I am capable of using correct grammar, but sometimes I choose not to, for effect. Get over it.

I am not always capable of using small words. There are times when long words completely replace small words in my lexicon, and I simply can't access the short words - sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently. For example, "Lexicon." I don't know any appropriate synonym for that. I'm not trying to be arrogant or show that I'm smarter than you, it's just how my brain works.

Though it's quite likely that I am smarter than you.
