I think it was way back between 2007 to 2012 when I became a libertarian. I’ll use the small “l”  for now. Because I had not as yet joined the party but my thoughts and outlook were becoming libertarian.   My father was, and is, a die-hard conservative Republican. So, not knowing any better, I was as well.

I love craft breweries because they are small businesses that are the backbone of our economy, they invest in the local community making it more prosperous and, most importantly —they make delicious beer.

Visitors would see our Principles and positions on current issues from Transition ..read more

This past Sunday, February 19th of 2023, I took my son to the Rage Against the War Machine Rally. This is a follow up to a previous essay explaining why I was psyched about the idea that people from different political philosophies can coalesce to fight for one cause and the opportunity to hear many speakers I admire present their cases for peace. I was not disappointed.  But I did not go there for entertainment. I did not bring my son to Washington DC to see the sights or gain a better sense of the greatness of America. No. To the contrary, we came to Washington DC to protest.  ..read more
