Alself me to introlo my...

That is... Allow me to introduce myself. I am Libertaire. I suppose I am an anarcho-capitalist/libertarian/paleolibertarian. These labels often get confusing after a while, especially when we start adding hyphens and slants.

I came here in hopes of engaging in discussions on matters of liberty, human events, and intellectual pursuits. I prefer sharing ideas to the "prove you wrong" mentality. It seems healthier and more rewarding in the long run.

On a personal level:
I am a Christian.
I am homeschooling Father.
My favorite writers are Tolkien and CS Lewis.
I love philosophy, history, and enigmas.
My favorite band is still Iron Maiden.
I like NASCAR and College Football.
Oh, and I really enjoy ale.

Thank you. I've been active in other forums, but I stumbled upon this and so, so good.

I would love to learn Latin. I've had a Latin dictionary for about 20 years now and I'm familiar with common phrases, but I have no formal training in the language whatsoever. The same with Greek, German, French, Old English, and even Elvish.

read more GRR Martin, Ursula K. LeGuin, Frank Herbert, Neal Stephenson, Ayn Rand, David Eddings, and Vladamir Nabokov and you'll be doing all right

Just finished a CS Lewis story titled Out of the Silent Planet. Great stuff.

Lean heavily right but I can be convinced otherwise(my wife convinced me to oppose the death penalty for example). However, garden variety tulip arguments don't convince, one must argue reality.
