And here's the interview... Enjoy!
FoSho: It's not hard to tell that you love this country. But it is hard to tell sometimes which way you lean, Liberal or Conservative. Want to clear up which way you tend to lean more?
Player: The United States is a great country, but I understand it does have its problems and in my opinion would benefit from a third party. Not a socialist or a Libertarian party (I do not think they are realistic), but one that represents the lower-income bracket, and who's main purpose is too influence the majority party into investing into their communities. I also feel it should be separated from the church. As for myself my political values tend to lean more to the left-wing (especially on health care and welfare), but as I get older I find I have more conservative values.
I guess it's a natural progression, as my standard of living improves my values tend to become more right-wing. This is very evident in every society, an example is in Britain where after the industrial revolution, the standard of living improved and the Liberal party was not needed. The Labor party gained its strength only after WWI.
FoSho: Which party to you trust more with economy?
Player: I trust Alan Greenspan. We're a pure capitalistic market so our economy is less dependent on government interaction.
FoSho: With Jayson Blair being called an "affirmative action hire" It's a hot topic again, what do you think about affirmative action?
Player: I am all for affirmative action. Minorities, especially Blacks because of persecution have not been able to progress at the rate of the majority. We have to invest in their communities and educate the public. Unfortunately hate still exists and minorities are still not given the same opportunities so this helps.
FoSho: The war on terror has to be called a success since there hasn't been another attack thus far, but how much of a set back is it that Bin Laden is still around?
Player: No, they key is to break their infrastructure and maintain security. We have gone great lengths to fight this war and have the backing of almost every country in the world. This will take a lot of time, but if united we can defeat these monsters.
FoSho: Overall would you say you trust the American leadership to make the right choices? If not, why?
Player: It's not about trusting American or European leadership, but rather it is about our place in the international system. In the past few centuries we have had numerous wars based upon hate or the need for power. Men like Louis XIV, Napoleon, Kaiser Wilheim, Hitler, etc... had the ability to manage the balance of power and their need for power resulted in great devastations. I believe our role right now is similar to what the British played in maintain the balance of power around the world and recognizing threats and acting on it. I am proud of our governments ability to recognize the threat of hate and power-mongerers and take action so it won't result into greater catastrophes later on.
FoSho: Political Correctness is more apparent then ever, would you say it's done more harm then good?
Player: The power of language is very strong and political correctness at its very least promotes equality towards minorities and women. At times it has gone too far but overall it has had a positive affect.
FoSho: Fox News has been beating the competition in ratings for almost 2 years now, yet it is also called extremely biased... How would you explain this?
Player: News is always biased. The message is the median.
FoSho: What are some NEWS/POLITICAL websites that you could share with the board?
Player: cnn.com, bbc.com. I enjoy reading sports more.
FoSho: What's something about yourself that other posters wouldn't know?
Player: I played professional hockey in Europe.
FoSho: Who on the board do you agree with most of the time?
Player: I would say Bogus.
