I don’t have any interest in starting a political movement. I just want to live life and be left alone as long as I’m peaceful with others. I’m trying to figure out how to do that.

My own political evolution is a long and twisting story. I grew up in a generally conservative household, but I was taught to be a political independent.

I believed in the morality of this country’s role in the world.
