ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
my hellos
i've graduated from college and now spend my time reading, playing my ukulele, and pretending i'm learning bass. the bass looks so awesome in my room, though, that i'll keep pretending even if i never learn.
i write quite a bit, primarily for young americans for liberty, but also for a living. i like writing to promote freedom, peace, and property. correct usage of words -- especially isms -- is very important to me, as is the oxford comma.
ron paul is my favorite. i interned at his presidential campaign, a fact i like to mention at every opportunity. he's right about austrian economics, and just about everything else. libertarianism is nearly my most important self-identification, coming in right after my christianity.

a quote
As soon as we surrender the principle that the state should not interfere in any questions touching on the individual's mode of life, we end by regulating and restricting the latter down to the smallest detail. - Ludwig von Mises
