This Blog is a place where I can write out and evaluate my political and financial thoughts. Knowing that my views and perspectives are the sum of my predispositions, life's experiences, and environment, I make this blog public. I hope alternative perspectives may be added allowing me to forge stronger less biased conclusions. In the infancy years of our country many average citizens would get together and discuss politics. I intend this place to be similar. No personal attacks will be tolerated and all viewpoints are accepted.
As I start what I think may be a journey, let me outline some of my fundamental beliefs (No particular order)
1. I believe all rights we have are God given directly to the individual. The only rights Washington and State government have are the rights we give them through our elected officials. If our elected officials misrepresent us and allow government more power than "we the people" want, it is our responsibility to find and elect representatives that better represent our beliefs.
2. I believe the borrower is slave to the lender.
3. I believe in the right to benefit from my own labors.
4. I believe charity is a moral obligation not a government responsibility.
5. I believe if we intentionally exploit others to make a profit we are no better than a thieving slave owner.
6. I believe that a person should be free to do whatever they would like to do so long as their behavior does not infringe on the freedom of others.
7. I believe that the environment, and all life are more interconnected than our founding fathers understood (Rain Forests, Reefs, Endangered Species...). Because of this citizens should allow government more authority than our founding fathers had intended to help protect and regulate these resources from private exploitation.
8. I believe in personal responsibility. If I create a problem I am the one who responsible for my actions.
