She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.

Robb Allen is my hero.

I'm pretty sure I've nailed down just where I fall in the political spectrum. It's libertarianism, and it's right next to Robb:

So when I say I want a smaller government, I mean I want a governing body that is focused on ensuring my rights are respected and not concerned with what kind of toilet I buy, the wattage of my light bulbs, if I’m eating the correct foods, donating to the right charities, worshiping the appropriate god, or defending myself in a manner that they deem adequate. Yes, I will make bad decisions, and when I do, I will face the consequences of them. With a government the size we have today, I’m paying for others’ mistakes, and there’s nothing fair, liberal, or moral about that.


This is me. This is what I strive for. I wanna be like Robb when I grow up.

Feel free to drop a line. You don't have to keep it clean - God knows, I won't - but keep it above the belt.
