CYOA

The great thing about life is that one can choose one's own adventure. As a person makes choices, he/she cannot choose the consequences of those choices, but the adventure is theirs. One reason why I like liberty and freedom so much, is because more good can come of it. Moral people can make more moral choices with more liberty in their lives. I guess the argument/downside is that immoral people can do more evil with more liberty. That is a risk. Right now, much of our lives are ultra-regulated. Because of this, moral people don't have as much money or latitude to do good but have to do what others think is moral. So, as a for-instance, a moral person may want to give more money to charities. With the taxes as they are, the government takes and gives to those who it thinks should have it. The moral person doesn't have enough money to give more. Thus is the problem of high taxes and high regulations. Right now we have a choice.

If you want to Mexico, go to page 37.
If you want to have others telling you what to do all the time, vote for a statist.
If you want to have more liberty to make your own moral choices, vote for liberty.
Choose Your Own Adventure.

I hope my posts make sense. I usually write them around 7 in the morning and don't proofread much.

It's official

It's confirmed, whether by foreign hackers and bots or not, my blog is now international! If I had some rysgrynsgröt right now, I'd celebrate. Here are the countries of this blog's pageviews:

United States
  157
Russia
  18
Germany
  3


I hope that those international pageviews are real people and not bots just crawling the web. I guess we'll see. Liberty is a wonderful idea and a beautiful implementation. So much good comes from liberty, and I wish all peoples of the earth would decide to live in liberty. The policy I don't agree with is forcing our way of living on other people. We should persuade, but not force. That may be what we've been trying to do in the Middle East. Forcing other governments to democratic or "more free." I don't think that is a thing that can be forced. The people must be educated and ready for liberty.

Anyway, if any of you international viewers are real, shoot me a line in the comments (I'd appreciate you chiming in on this discussion).
