The Diabolical Madman

Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains! - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

About Me

In my younger days, I was a Jedi Knight. In my later years, I've became a historian and religious scholar. I came to MySpace to dispel misinformation about vegetarianism. My historical expertise lies in South Asia, most particularly India. My religious knowledge encompasses the Hindu and Buddhist religions, along with vast knowledge of the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam).

I present you with a quote: "Half the dogs in America will receive Christmas presents this year, yet few of us pause to consider the miserable life of the pig, an animal as easily as intelligent as a dog, that becomes the Christmas ham."
