My Philosophy: Freedom good! Government bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. I will not initiate force, or fraud against any individual. I will resist those who do when prudent with all means at my disposal. I will approach all individuals with the idea of interacting with them through mutually agreed upon conditions. What other political or personal philosophy do you need? And wouldn't the world be a more peaceful place if everyone learned to mind their own business?

   We’ve already spent more than $500 billion in Iraq, mostly through supplemental spending bills that are not part of the normal appropriations. If we stay in Iraq the bill to taxpayers could top one trillion dollars in another year or two.
