I've always felt that to understand someone's perspective you have to understand their views on a number of issues. Only through looking at their views in aggregate can you begin to understand where they are coming from and why. In doing this, you're able to contrast their views with your own and broaden your perspective.

This page contains articles I find interesting as well as a series of numbered posts which I have written. Taken together, these form a synthesis of my views on a number of current issues (and yes, the numbered posts are ordered in such a way as to reflect their relative importance to me). Although I am not registered with either party, I tend to have a distinctively left slant. After reading my posts, consider the issues again in terms of the tradeoff between individual freedoms and economic freedom. (Check out the multi-axis spectrum linked in the left sidebar.)

Submit your comments to these posts - I look forward to hearing your views and responses. Whether we agree or disagree is irrelevant. The dialog is what matters. Our form of government relies on having an interested electorate and the very fact that we are discussing our views on these important issues perpetuates its success.

(6) Stem Cell Research

Full federal funding of all stem cell research (adult or embryonic) needs to occur immediately!

This is a very important issue and we've wasted lots of time and opportunity. Government should not be in the business of inhibiting and repressing scientific research that can improve or even save the lives of millions. History will not be kind to Bush or cronies, but this issue will stand out among many of his blunders, as one of the most backwards and regressive decisions ever made by a sitting U.S. President.
