I Believe
Posted By Alan Partis on January 18, 2012
I believe in liberty. I believe in self-determination. I believe in personal responsibility. I believe in the limitless human imagination and fundamental drive to make a better world around them. I believe it is the sin of blasphemy against God and Nature for one man to put a limit or a burden on another; it is presumptuous for one man to assume, for himself, the role of God on Earth.
I also believe that civil societies are best formed on the basis of voluntary cooperation. I believe that man is imperfect and that all men, from time to time (and some more than others), will fail to meet these ideals, but on balance will be a greater force for good than for evil.
Just a boy from small-town western New York (Batavia) with strong convictions and a desire to express my opinions. I'm married and have a daughter with whom I am taking great pains to brainwash into my way of thinking (so far with great success).
Though I am a software engineer by day, I read a great deal about current events, history, and economics and philosophy. I'm certain that many of my former teachers will be pleasantly surprised to hear this. I've grown very interested in trying to help educate others about the liberty guaranteed to us in the United States Constitution and the economic theories on which this Country was founded.
