Site Introduction
Welcome to my contribution to the World Wide Web. I seem to be constantly modifying and hopefully improving it as I gain more experience and knowledge as a webmaster. But then, it has a life of its own like all good web sites should. (Why am I suddenly thinking of that Steve McQueen movie, The Blob!?) I consider it an obligation and a privilege to provide an interesting, informative, and user-friendly web site. I hope you'll check in on me often.
I'm James Matthew Wallace, and, in case you didn't come in through my introduction page, I'm one of the few conservative, Republican, traditionalist, Secular Humanist atheists in existence which is why I adopted the cyberidentity and cybernym of "The Compleat Heretic." That's "Compleat" as in "highly proficient," and "Heretic" as in "one who dissents from an accepted belief or doctrine." I consider myself to be both an economic and cultural conservative; that is, a free-market capitalist and a moral traditionalist. The religious right types and "ordinary" conservatives can't quite comprehend my atheism which they reflexively view as a manifestation of leftism. The atheists can't understand my cultural conservatism which they reflexively view as "just religious beliefs" when espoused by the religious right. I'm rather adept at committing heresy regardless of affiliations. If I've piqued your interest and you wish to learn more about me, please explore my site at your leisure.
Let's come to an understanding right from the start. This is a personal web site; that is, it is about me: who I am, what I do, what I think, etc. I created this site to inform others about myself and to aid me in my neverending quest to discover my self. Fortunately, I'm rather interesting subject matter. Also, never forget that I am extremely opinionated and that my opinions are the result of rational analysis and my innate contrariness. I have always sought to comprehend things, and I have always heard the beat of my own drummer very loudly and most clearly. Given this and the expansiveness of my personality, I am confident that you will find something in these web pages that will either delight and amuse you or shock and offend you, and probably a combination of the two. If not, wait for it! Finally, enjoy!

I collect and disseminate personal information within the context of this site.
Submission of any online form on this site or sending an e-mail message to me creates the possibility of my posting that information to this site in some manner.

COPPA Notice:
Matt Wallace's The Compleat Heretic is the personal web site of a middle-aged man in which he shares some portion of his life and thoughts. As a result, it primarily deals with the mature discussion of a variety of philosophical, religious, artistic, social, and political issues; the tone of this discussion ranges from scholarly to suggestive depending on rhetorical form and subject matter. Consequently, this site is directed towards adults and adolescents.
Even though my intended audience specifically excludes children, thus exempting me from the provisions of the Children’s On-line Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), I will make a good faith effort to comply with this law. Accordingly, children under the age of 13 are not permitted to communicate with me without parental consent. Absent evidence to the contrary, submission of any online form on this site or sending an e-mail message to me implies that the sender is either of age and not covered by COPPA or is doing so under parental supervision; in both cases, the sender is granting me permission to use the communication in accordance with my Privacy Policy as described above. If a child's personal information should be posted on this site without parental consent in violation of my policy, that child's parents are reponsible for informing me of this violation. Upon such notification, I will remove the child's information upon the next site update.
