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. If you’re interested in doing the same — and if you want to do it without the shrill and angry confrontations of politics — I hope you’ll join me in a conversation that might lead to better lives for all of us.
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 also learned — from school and from my own reading — to be an intensely patriotic kid. I believed in our political leaders. I believed in the political system. I believed in the morality of this country’s role in the world.

Jobs are created from ‘selfish’ acts; they don’t just exist on their own
I’m trying to do something new — and I don’t know what to call it
Slow death of painful past leaves me trapped in fog of depression
THE McELROY ZOO: Meet Dagny, the oddball who’s always hungry
I don’t claim to know the solution, but the modern church has failed
Next, this city is going to be selling lemonade and holding bake sales
Trivial objects have power to be containers for strong emotions
When people show you who they are, trust their actions, not words
