It’s not that I haven’t been around. It’s that there’s nothing terribly interesting going on in the world, and that this whole being-a-father thing takes up a lot more time than I would have expected.
There are a couple of thoughts about my approach to the world and politics that I wanted to toss out here though. First is, when the government and a citizen bump into each other in the street, it should be the government that moves out of the way. That’s about as far as I go in endorsing Libertarianism.
Another thing is that for me, being conservative is closely tied up with the idea of common sense. I don’t know what common sense is or where it comes from, but at some point in my life I realized that I had it, and that’s around the same time (and the same ways) I started realizing that my political/social beliefs are what most people describe as “conservative”.
That’s about all. Maybe I’ll start posting baby pictures here.
