The first three months here at Delaware Libertarian have been nothing short of amazing.
Thousands of people from dozens of countries have dropped by to read and sometimes to discuss my own rather individualized take on the Libertarian idea.
I've found myself part of the Delaware Blogger Mafia, and I've met new friends I've never met.
I always wondered, when I taught the ratification of the Constitution, what it would have like to write or read the Federalist Papers and all the hundreds and thousands of now-forgotten articles and letters that determined how the American government would be organized.
In a faint but distinct way, I think I'm getting an idea.
One thing I know, however, nobody does it--or did it--alone.
The charge is often thrown at Libertarians that they aspire to be rugged individualists to a fault, that their suspicion of big government and social controls masks a hard-hearted, non-community-oriented approach to life. This is certainly not the case of any Libertarians I know; and none that I want to find in power.
We just happen to believe in the strength of voluntary associations rather than those mandated by the State.
Speaking of voluntary associations, I've been impressed both here and at other sites with the comments of two individuals--Tyler Nixon and Brian--who both share a distinctly Libertarian approach to life, philosophy, and politics.
When I recognized that life its own self and sheer inertia would not allow me to keep posting alone at such a prodigious rate, I extended the offer to both of them to join the ranks here at Delaware Libertarian.
I'm pleased to say that they have both accepted.
I don't know exactly what they'll be posting, and how often is up to each of them--as well as the content of their communications.
However, if the quality of the comments I've read heretofore are any indication, they're only going to improve the neighborhood.
