This site is meant to be informative, so I eschew the bells and whistles approach of heavy graphics and java. Nor will this site mine personal information from you - there are no annoying cookies. I offer intellectual and some humorous content, instead.

Politically, I'm Libertarian. Socially, I'm Communitarian. I uphold the ideals of maximizing individual freedom and limiting government. But because we live with others in a shrinking world in which problems are growing exponentially, there are social issues affecting all of us that must be addressed collectively and we must find solutions to balance individual freedom with social responsibility.

Writing about political and social issues, especially human rights, is one of my passions. On this site you will find many articles on various topics from mainstream political and social criticism to specifically gay issues. I hope they will make you think and perhaps revision the world.
