The Fisherman's Catch : A Conservative Bedtime Story
Thomas Wright is a Conservative Author who believes that many people do not understand the basic concepts behind Conservative Philosophies. He has attempted in his poor best to explain simply and clearly the ideals behind basic political concepts such as taxation, welfare, government spending, deficit spending, wealth creation, and a myriad of other concepts that when understood help inspire people to contribute to society by creating in themselves the kind of person that does so because it is who they are, not because government or society forces them to.To be honest there is nothing terribly remarkable about Thomas. He was born the first child of a fairly large family and entered into programming at an early age. Later going back to school he received a bachelors in Computer Information Systems and is currently obtaining an MBA.He decided to begin writing a series of children's books back in October 2008 when a discussion with a co-worker showed that they did not understand the basic socio-economic principles upon which the ideas of Conservative thought is based.In his attempt to explain Thomas used a parable to explain the basic concept. His co-worker finally understood where Thomas was coming from and Thomas decided to put pen to paper and attempt to craft a story everyone could understand, if not agree with.While Thomas believes that Conservative Principles are important to obtain stability and have fundamental truths that do not change with time his own belief in right and wrong fall into a statement made by John Maynard Keynes in which a man was attempting to get Keynes to explain why he changed his mind on economic policies, Keynes replied "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"Perhaps someday there will be a better biography for Thomas Wright when he dies, in the meantime let us not fail from teaching the youth critical thinking, let them question with boldness their own beliefs, let us hope that they can figure out truth better than their elders and let those who instruct never forget the sacred duty laid upon them to do so.
