Good starter language?

Well, I've never programmed before (other than basic HTML) and would like to know a good starting language. Any suggestions?

You're right, but you're recommending it for the wrong reason. It just hurts your point. It's important to start in ASM for the historical perspective. Then you'll get fully prepared to move forward to Lisp, Fortran, C, Perl, until you reach Python.
