I named myself after an obscure comic character:

I remember a few years back some said the following: $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')irst, start with your pen name: One Above All. Perhaps you have a bit of hubris?
When the banksters want something, our policymakers move with the speed of Mercury and the determination of Ares. It’s only when the rest of us need something that there is paralysis.

How free are we today with the dominance of globalist capital and militarized security apparatus?

I love the wild rose here in Alberta - a pretty pink flower that grows all over the place, blooms in late June/early July. It's the provincial flower and reminds of all the beauty in Alberta. I have a wild rose bush in my backyard. And, Rose is my mom's name, so overall the moniker represents a few things I love.

That's a good one.

It's just my first name, middle and last initials. I've been using it off and on for 15-20 years on message boards and such and even variations of it on commercial sites like banks and utilities. Mainly because when I use another user name I tend to forget it. :D And the w is there because there's a heck of a lot of joep's out there who tend to steal it before I can get it.

The avatar is sort of my first memory of oil use. There was a little Sinclair gas station on the corner and I, being a young boy in the 60's and fascinated by dinosaurs, always bugged my dad to get gas there so I could see Dino.

My father reluctantly would stop there even though the price was always 2 or 3 cents higher than the station down in the village. 22.9 to 19.9!
