Reading the title of this post, one might presume that I am piss-and-vinegar incarnate, with a belly full of angst. Or perhaps I'm the pretentious one, projecting my insecurities on anything commonplace, say, titles of blogs. I think the more reasonable explanation is that I couldn't conceive an appropriate title, and just copped out.
That being said, maybe I ought to indulge myself for a moment and explain who I am. This is my first post, after all. My name is Jason. Pleasure to meet you.
Right. Now lets get down to brass tacks. I am (pause for dramatic effect) a Libertarian. Take a few moments to ridicule and deride me, if you know where Libertarians stand on the political spectrum. If not, here's a primer:
Not that I quote Reagan too often, but I believe his old axiom goes, "The government that governs least, governs best". We all know that the Gipper didn't exactly practice what he preached, but I guess it's the thought that counts.
I feel that the folks we elect to public office do more harm than good, constitutionally speaking, and the folks those folks appoint to governmental positions aren't any better. I'm pretty capable of making my own decisions, so the fewer federal burrocrats*, the better. I find taxes deplorable and tantamount to theft. Federal law ought not trump state law. Blaaaarrarrrggg. I swear I, just now, hurled on the keyboard, and the last couple lines of this half-assed exposition were typed by the chunks I just blew. Moving on.
What was I talking about? Ah, yes. That mile-deep abyss called third party politics. You can probably see where I stand on (taxpayer backed) monetary issues. Goldwater ring a bell? On the other hand I'm about as left as left gets on the social end of things. Are all men created equal, or or all straight men created equal? In this case, to legislate based on morality is bigotry. Long story short, I'm pro-choice on just about everything.
My battery is running out of power (in several ways), so I've got to wrap things up. Damn the man. Hope to write again soon, but don't hold your breath. Peace out.
*Poster's note: This is not a typo. Check your Spanish-to-English dictionary, sans the crat part.

i think we all need to take a page out of your book and start typogrifying(?) our groans and meows.
when you say "to legislate based on morality is bigotry", youre right, the supreme court actually considers it unconstitutional in Lawrence v. Texas (2003). its a wonder how amendment 2 got on out ballot...
