Kirlian-Voltaire's blog

Currently, our system of democracy is plagued by three compounding factors: a lack of participation (or complete apathy) from the voting populace, rhetoric taking precedence over action, and the emphasis on wealth and personal connections on the part of the candidates. We can see in our own primaries that these factors are compounding to push candidates through, whilst leaving those that might lack these “advantages” in the dust.

I figured that it would be in my best interests to provide a little background in regards to my basic opinions before I started going rapid-fire on this blog. Many will notice that, as the title states ever so clearly, that I consider myself a "Progressive Libertarian." However, many probably either have no clue as to what it means to be a "Progressive Libertarian" (or even a Libertarian) or do not know what that is going to mean for me.
