Here exists the userpage of Brookshawn, who is a student who lives in Brookfield, Wisconsin, and came to Wiki some time ago interested in an article for a school project. Told by his teacher that Wikipedia was not a reliable source, Brookshawn disregarded Wikipedia for months. Later on, he came to find Wiki again and embrace the market of ideas that is Wikipedia.

As a Senior at Brookfield East High School I will graduate in June 2007 and pursue a double major in Middle Eastern studies and either American Studies or Journalism or Communication Arts. My main interests center on History and Politics as well as Community Dynamics, Social Psychology, Civics. I also contribute to pop-culture-related articles on the basis of my knowledge, however only in small doses. I have contributed to a number of articles about these subjects. In the past, I have edited anonymously, but I will provide a list of articles i have edited or created. I will also display my menagerie of userboxes to show you my mad skills/attributes.

[edit] General Attributes

• I am a political Liberal who believes in Negative Liberty.

Tangent: It is essential for liberty to accompany Democracy, and it would be accurate to describe me as a Libertarian-Democratic-Socialist, if there ever was such a thing. Essentially I view the world in this way:

• Do whatever you want unless it hurts others. Contribute taxes towards the greater good. Vote. Period. People are inherently good and become corrupted by defects in thought, psychology or physiology. Let people make their own decisions; do not impose your will, but instead offer it. I am an Inclusionist and beleive in Humanistic Psychology.

• My thought process pattern is Abstract Random.
• I participate in the NFL and NCFL, and I participate in Original Oratory, Poetry, and Student Congress.
• Do not beleive that the word 'god' should be capitalized, as it is not a proper noun. the word 'god' denotes a belief, not a specific person.

[edit] Political Spectrum

According to the Political Compass, I am a Libertarian.

• Economic Left/Right: -9.63
• Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.67

According to the Advocates for Self-Government "World's Smallest Political Quiz," I am a Liberal Libertarian.

• Your PERSONAL issues Score is 100%.
• Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 50%.

[edit] Delete Shortcuts

Adapted from Acebrock. I am an Inclusionist as I have probably mentioned about 3 other times in this article. I use these delete shortcuts simply for deleting nonsense articles on the Recent Changes: New Articles board.

• {{db-bio}} If it's a page about how cool they are, it's gone.
• {{db-band}} If it states that it plays to small audiences or the only link on the page is to MySpace, Kiss it goodbye.
• {{db-attack}} Obvious
• {{nonsense}} All caps or incoherent
• {{db-empty}} Empty page or very short page
• {{db-contact}} Reserved for ads
• {{db-reason|my reasons here}} For If nothing else fits
