I cannot be a libertarian. Oh, the idea of libertarianism is clear and straightfrward enough, but the simple fact is, it’s a club I can’t get into. Two points:
I’m all for letting people live however they want. Libertarians are all for letting me live however they want too.
No matter how much I’d like to go on with my life and be left alone, pretty nearly every libertarian I know is anxious to tell me how wrong I’m doing it.
So I have arrived at the point where I cannot find a “Conservative” who is conservative, I cannot find a “Liberal” who wants anything to do with freedom, and I cannot join a party who has an indistinct definition of how it’s done (And when you bitch at me that I’m wrong about that, you prove my point)
We have allowed the political class in this country to become a reality tv show. We won’t tolerate anyone of any integrity and capability. We have lost the urge to get it right. So, let the monkey fly the airplane. if Trump gets elected it will be a circus. If Shrillary gets elected, it will be a circus. If ___ gets elected, it will be a circus.
I am and will always be a law unto myself. Let the circus begin, and let it be entertaining.
was what I decided on. A chance to work with a good friend, and an opportunity to do some things I have wanted to do for a long time. Old gig ends and new gig begins on the same day, March 1.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. More as time merits.
Three jobs. Three friends. Three really good opportunities. One with lots of travel and moving around, which appeals to my innate wanderlust. One which is all work from home and minimal travel, but which offers me the freedom to work an 8 hour day and have 16 hours to myself which takes the commute out of the equation; for the first time in thirty years I would be home at a reasonable hour every day and have zero commute. A third which would give me complete control over the automation of an entire rapidly growing facility.
I want to keep all three, like a pound full of puppies. I don’t want to disappoint anyone. I have about a week to choose.
