Political FUN!

[Joseph]

Folks, I'm really enjoying all the current discussions. In the words of Heinlein, "I never learned anything from a man who agreed with me." But now I've gotta hit the road for a few hours and spend the weekend with my daughter, so I may not be back to this forum until next week at the earliest.

I just don't want you to take any silence on my part as concession!

Agree or disagree, you guys are the best!

I think we're both wrong:

Anarchist?

Libertarian. YAY!!!!!

If you can explain to me what one is, I might become one.

I'm easy.

Daughter Zoë is off to the store, so I thought I'd check back in for a moment.

Stan wins - she's a Libertarian. I'd like to say that she convinced me of the error of my Republican ways, but the latest crop of Republicans did that.

If you can explain to me what one is, I might become one.

I don't think that's likely, but I'll let the party explain who they are. I'm not a member of the party, BTW - I just tend to think like they do.

I'm easy.

I've heard that about you!

Later,

Joseph

I don't have the debating skills the likes of what I have seen in the current political threads. Besides, that would be a hijack for sure. Let me just say that I don't want this country ruled by business, nor do I want to live in a welfare state. I believe that we must have government. It is a necessary evil. That government should be small and inobtrusive when it comes to a citizen's individual life. Freedom from over regulation is key.

The government has grown so much that it is trying to make decisions for me. I prefer not to wear a seat belt. I don't like jumping through hoops. I do like "Do unto others.....".

I'll continue to read and learn from the opinions expressed. I think you all have the right to your opinions and I won't argue with them. Now I'll shut up.
