In lieu of remaining anonymous

Once there was a blog ... it ran from late 2008-2014 and then I stopped. I had fervent passion and great co-authors, and a lot of people read Delaware Libertarian. Now, what it means to live in Delaware has changed, and what it means to be a Libertarian needs to be re-examined. I hover between left-libertarian and classical liberalism. Anyone looking for orthodoxy and echoes won't be happy here. So be it. I write to amuse myself, spread ideas of value, and to redeem the cause of being a civil libertarian and an advocate of markets without kowtowing to much of the right-wing faux-capitalist BS with which libertarianism is now hag-ridden. Enjoy, debate, or not. -- Steve Newton
