At the risk of going all Poor Richard, some basic precepts of living:
What is Normal is not always what is natural.
What is Natural is not always what is optimal.
What is Optimal is not always what is best.
What is Best is often not what is good.
And what is Good is usually not what is normal (but when it is, man is it BEEE-YOOtiful!)

Welcome to my blog. I describe myself as a pragmatic liberal. This means that my liberalism is based on quantifiable and rational information not nutty idealism. You will not find arguments against involvement in a war we're already fighting, for instance, even though I organized protests against involvement prior to engagement. Some liberals consider this disingenuous, but I simply prefer to deal with the world as it is, not as I would have liked for it to be.
This is Me
