My name is Kyle Waters, my use of the term unum comes from my love of classical history and philosophy. Most Americans are familiar with the term unum because of the phrase printed on many coins "e pluribus unum". Which means "from many one", this phrase was used to refer to how the many states and people came together to form one country. I am a Platonist and Plato's Republic is my favorite book. The foundation of the Republic is that one achieves happiness by finding peace in one's own soul. An other important piece of Plato's philosophy is that there is eternal truth, and that all truth takes part of the one truth. As a Platonist I believe in eternal truth, but I believe we must find it. My interest in computers led me to stumble into something called the Free Software Movement. I even became the president of the local club. As a member of the club and from reading slashdot, I was exposed to the potential that modern technology has for both good and bad. So I will soon add a page here about civil liberties such as freedom of expression and privacy. I am also going to start an organization dedicated to helping people express themselves on line. Also you should join the eff. Presentations I have done for various groups can be found here.
If you are creatively challenged like me you may want to look at my
