Happy New Year! In 2006 one of my resolutions is to post to my blog on a more regular schedule – at least twice a week and every day if possible. So if you’re groaning at the idea of hearing from me more than every now and then, it’s probably a good idea to unsubscribe.
Also, the content will make a bit of a shift. In the past I’ve avoided commenting on political issues. That will change. If you’d rather not hear about my political views, now is a good time to unsubscribe.
Here’s a hint of what to expect from me politically:
- I think of myself as a liberal libertarian. That is, I’m sympathetic to libertarian arguments but I nonetheless generally vote Democrat.
- …because in my opinion the Republican party has come to be dominated by primarily religious interests, with a large helping of corporate welfare interests.
- I’m not an ideologue. While I believe principles are important, I also believe the world is complex enough that compromise is usually the best – and often the only – solution.
I can assure you this won’t be a mini Daily Kos or Powerline – analyzing every twist & turn in the news as proof that WE are good and THEY are evil.
That said, let me state up front that I loathe George Bush and am heavily biased against anything his administration says or does. So if you’re a Bush fan, you probably don’t want to hear any more from me.
