Who the Hell is David King?
I am 6'3" tall and weigh about l90 lbs. I am in excellent health and am
very much physically fit, having been a weightlifter all my adult life. Some
of my other physical-oriented activities are bicycling, camping, and
dancing. I love both ballroom and folk dancing and have a special interest
in dances from the Balkan countries.
My education is rooted in the sciences of Physics, Mechanics and
Chemistry.
I have been a member of all the major High-IQ societies. My personal
motto is: "The fact that I am a certified genius allows me to behave like a
complete dolt from time to time, with no threat to my self-esteem." (I DO
too!)
I Shrugged in 1965, shortly after first reading Rand's great work. I have
no religious beliefs and am an anarchist libertarian.
I believe Atlas Shrugged is the greatest book ever written, and The
Lord of the Rings the finest story ever told.
I have lived for many years in the boondocks of central Wyoming in an
energy-efficient, solar-electric house which I designed and built myself. I
share my home with two cats: Grumply and Prrkins - and a computer named
Garble.
To the extent that my life results from my own choices and my own
actions, it has been a tremendous success. The moral really IS the
practical.
