Bio
Small business owner, libertarian, and fan of Milton Friedman. Strong believer in private property rights, and Federalism.
I believe that we are blessed to live in the United States, even with its myriad flaws, as it represents the best society the world has seen to date-without the malaise of European social democracies-and it still provides ample opportunity for those who want it bad enough.
I was raised in a time when most people wanted to become rich, and weren't content to merely tax them, as seems to be the thinking today.
I chuck aging, self absorbed hippies on the odd weekend, using a medieval siege engine. It's truly cathartic.
"Every nation that has ended in tyranny has come to that end by way of good order. It certainly does not follow from this that peoples should scorn public peace, but neither should they be satisfied with that and nothing more. A nation that asks nothing of government but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains."
-Alexis de Tocqueville
"The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits."
-Thomas Jefferson
