JCFolsom:I write math tests for state educational bureaucracies
Evil bastard.
Anyways, fix the High school proficiency exam. I could have passed that thing in 6th grade.
Well,
My handle is M of Bedlam - and some minor twists in logic should reveal my actual name. I'm 24 years old, I hope to get an MBA/MIS over at UNLV - but thats only because I feel that in a world that goes to hell - Sin City is a safe bet. I like to write and I just started a blog here. I confess to not being as logic-ridden (or blessed) but I do hope to bring a more emotive touch to writing.

I'm 21, I'm pursuing a B.A. in mathematics from a small private college in New England. I (it takes 8 weeks to confirm) passed my first actuarial exam and plan on becoming an actuary if the job market will allow it.
I also played football and currently powerlift as opposed to being a complete nerd. I'm hoping that the Austrian/libertarian revolution takes hold of all of our youth rather than just the internet gaming generation. Since I'm in New England, most of my fellow students are statist liberals and refuse to believe anything I say is true.
My name is Vinny Testaverde and I am 44 years old. Twenty years ago, I sired half this forum when I should have been concentrating on my NFL career. Fortunately I got things turned around and now in my retirement I am considered one of the deans of the sport.
Make it a great day!

Yes, I know. I've forgotten the name of my father, shame upon the clan, all that.

My name is Zach. I'm a college senior biochemistry major, hopefully starting an Md/PhD program next fall. My main interest in genetics and microbiology research, but I'm starting to get hooked on these Austrain economics stuff. I even write about it in blog form and for my uni's paper.
My goal is to learn more about economics for my own edification. The only structured class I've ever had in economics was some BS course in high school, but I'm learning loads already from resources like von Mises Institute, Cato and various books and papers.
