I am a Conservative, Capitalist, Republican. I'm a Vietnam Veteran and after some soul searching, a card carrying member of "The Empire".
Still reading? Good. That indicates an open mind.
I've come to the conclusion that we are all sliding on a scale of conservative - liberal, socialist -capitalist, you name the extremes. We really cannot be easily labeled or pigeon-holed into a ridged definition of values. As a personal example, I consider H.S. Thompson as a role model. I have for decades. Yet, he wrote this:
I still love him and look up to him.
I have a like of that. When working on my first college degree I read Dr. Dennis Meadows book The Limits of Growth. My degrees are in the science area and so I also understand the exponential function and like the talks that were given by the late physicist Dr. Al Bartlett. I also like that Chris Martenson has talked about some of those same things. So, infinite growth on a finite planet is not possible.
It's nice to know we can agree upon something. That's something to build upon.
Yeah, well, we both like cats. That's a better connection.
