Writing this kind of in reaction to what I heard with some of the things with the Libertarian Party takeover this past weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yeah, I can’t hang with those sorts of folks. I am not going to share those sorts of personal details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wrote that last sentence kind of in the young-and-healthy mindset. I just got an email notice reminding me that it’s my twentieth anniversary as a LiveJournal user. Um. Yeah. I hadn’t written anything since 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously, I’ve been feeding this writing compulsion for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But back to the point, one of the former Reason editors, maybe Virginia Postrel, had a column (which I can’t find, unfortunately) complaining about the marijuana odor swirling around somewhere she was (I think SoCal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve never smoked marijuana. I worked in radio for how many years? I have multiple sclerosis. I’ve never smoked weed. I don’t like the odor. I’m skeptical about In my current situation, even though I am mildly curious about the neurological effects of cannaboids, and other psychoactive chemicals, I don’t partake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s my choice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To me, that’s the quintessence of Libertarianism. I can do what I want, and if I’m really not affecting anyone else by doing it, whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it’s also none of your business, and I don’t feel any urge to tell you about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I didn’t read too deeply into my old LJ, but I’m almost certain that there’s no discussion of executory activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I really don’t need, or want, to know about the last time you met physical needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s not me. I don’t need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, despite the fact that I wasn’t informed on the latest podcast that being immodest is Libertarian, it’s how I operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s how I’ve always operated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But means I’m the enemy. Whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sorts of things I’ve heard are things that would absolutely have mortified me if others knew about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it’s actually none of their business, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t even like to share some of those things with my wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does that make me an evil statist? Well, tune in to the guy who’s never made a payroll, or written something longer than a comedy sketch and find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I’m not just going to rage quit. It’s not what I do. I just leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope you find satisfaction with whatever is your choice when you get Marrou-level vote totals thirty-plus years down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Writing this kind of in reaction to what I heard with some of the things with the Libertarian Party takeover this past weekend.
