Ok I said I’m a Libertarian. So what does that mean for what I do believe?
The truth is I have no real idea what that means.
I do know a few things that that means. I also believe most of those things myself.
Libertarians believe you should take responsibility for you. What you do in your bedroom is your business. On Friday night you happen to sit back with a joint to relax. that’s on you, not the state to decide. It also means things about the actual politics that every US citizen deals with on a daily basis.
The presidential race may have been this year, but who are the players for the future races. What’s going on locally? The state being an evil “big brother”?
Well in this vein, I’d like to say what I do believe.
1) I believe you are your own person. What you do has consequences. Good and bad, they are yours to decide. Smoking pot? drinking? bad political decisions?
Charity, you decide to give your time or money?
Who you feel is your “other half”?
How to raise your children?
Music?
Car styles?
The internet?
How I choose to go from place to place?
These are things I have opinions on.
Mostly my opinion is this……Does it hurt another person?
2) Yes. Then problem needs to be addressed.
No. then whatever you feel is right is OK.
3) The old adage is “I don’t believe what you say, but I defend your right to say it.”
4) If marijuana was legal to partake in every state, I'd be the next Cheech or Chong. It's not so it doesn’t matter till it is.
I drink so little it doesn’t matter really, but I won’t say you can’t have 5 or more a day.
5) I believe every citizen should “opt in” to every political decision that they need to. The mayor, the senate, Congress, Alderman, Fire Chief, Sheriff, Judge (that’s a big one), President or whatever is an elected official near you. And with that, I also believe you should vote for what you want, not just who's on the ballot. My grandfather was a good man. I wrote his name in for president. Do you think anyone else did? Probably not, however somewhere on some tally listing somewhere it says he got 1 vote.
If you vote who you believe should be in the office is the best candidate there is.
In 2004 (I think), Ron Paul ran for president, then later left the race. I still wrote his name on the ballot that year. I’m pretty sure others did too, but just not enough to get him into the office. Still not throwing away my vote, because I stood out in the rain to pass out Ron Paul information, I showed my kids what action I was willing to take to help my candidate.
In local politics, I read about people running for offices, what they feel about a new ballpark down the street, or building a new police station on the highway. not to mention how the voting falls when there is a stop light at the intersection where I almost got hit twice. I pay attention or at least try to.
6) Who do I give my money to for a charity? Well, that’s between me and them. I will say this, I try not to pass a red kettle without putting something in. I’ve also stood for those kettles. My kids have stood and given too.
I give to who helps that I see.
7) As to who you are with? How do I have anything to do with that? My friend “so and so” has a boyfriend. I go to his house he acts like I do at home with my wife. What's the difference? I used to live in a town for a job I had, one of the guys upstairs best friends was a stripper. OH HELL YEAH! I thought. then he informed me she barely tolerated men, and preferred women as her choice. And she chose often. five or six a week from what I saw of her. So I can anything about that?
8) Every state in the US has some version of Department of Child Services. In general, I don’t have a problem with them, but I do when it involves itself with anything it shouldn’t be involved with.
I yell a lot, I get upset and scream. I try to be the parent that I think is correct. Good or Bad, that’s what I try to do. My middle daughter finds something she is unhappy about and speaks to a school guidance counselor, now I have to worry that DHS will be at my door.
When I first moved into my current residence, I was in a full blown screaming match with one of my children about bedtime. I said “go”, they didn’t want to. Long and short, a neighbor called the police about a possible domestic situation. (this I feel is completely legitimate) They came and spoke to me and the child. They then told me the next time I just need to give her a good spanking to fix the problem. Coming from a policeman, this was most likely;y said in jest. Well, that’s how I took it anyway. (They haven't been back btw)
9) the last piece I’d like to address is car styles. Not because it is more important than any other, but because it needs saying. If any auto company comes up with something better than fossil fuels or runs on air, or whatever then invest in that. Not because it is better, but because it needs the help.
If you don’t know the name Nikola Tesla, then research him, and then see if maybe his work could help you, and maybe help with that. He wanted everything to be available to all, and freely.
Free energy to your house, wirelessly btw, without a cost. He had a schematic for a car that was electric, and free.
Cars and trucks and any other mode of movement, should be furthered and this bull of hindering it because of this or that is stupid.
In conclusion, I think for myself, not you. Anything else email me or PM and we'll talk.
