About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Why thank you. I certainly didn't expect that. It is definitely a speech I can listen to over and over.
Bravo! Have always felt that may have been the best-ever speech by an American. Really incredible, both in contents and delivery.
It's amazing how emotional it remains, even today.
