 A user comment on my introductory article on libertarian principles asked about libertarian military beliefs, so in this article I am covering the principle of non-interventionism.
At the core of libertarianism is the belief that force should only be used in defense--that aggression is wrong. A lot of the problems libertarians have with our government today are because the government is using force without cause. An obvious example is the use of eminent domain to take property. |

 A few episodes into season 2 of the TV series Lost, I wrote a blog post about my theories on the mysteries of the show. Most of them proved to be incorrect. Now that season 5 has concluded, a lot of answers have been provided, although some big mysteries remain. I found this season to be very fulfilling and I have been more and more impressed by the writing as the show progresses. I expect the story of Lost will go down as one of the greats in literary history. With one season remaining, perhaps it's time for me to once again propose some theories and guess what we'll see in the final season.

I'm in the process of curing myself of my packrat ways, at least in the physical sense. I'm going through my many boxes of stuff collected over the years and scanning what can be scanned digitally and throwing out as much as possible. This section of the web site features some of those scanned items. Eventually, I'll get everything integrated in the main autobiography articles. |

Where I grew up, we had a decent-sized lot that bordered a vacant field to the back. I decided to use some of that field for a garden, which I researched and designed. Here's the diagram I used to decide the dimensions, layout, and position of different types of crops. |

A while back, the members of my team participated in an Insights Discovery process session. Insights Discovery consists of a personality questionnaire completed by each team member followed by an analysis and group session to discuss the meaning of the results to facilitate improved communication and synergy between team members. We found the results very enlightening and I've noticed improvements in team interactions since we went through the process. I'd like to do it again to include team members who have joined us since. |
