We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Just as corporations are people, government is people. But with governments having a monopoly on the use of force, which of your neighbors would you trust to hold a gun to your head?
Freedom for me but not for thee--the bane of nearly every social and economic system. There's a reason the Golden Rule in enshrined in just about every religious and philosophical tradition.
