ABOUT ME
...trying to do waterfall and fire tower hikes. I ride my unicycles & bicycles downtown, take a lot of pictures, read a lot of Libertarian based books, hang out and party w/ my friends after an evening of chess or day of hiking.
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live...
The Non-Aggression Principle formalizes a way of living that many people already believe in:
No one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, nor to delegate its initiation.
To initiate force is to strike first.
To lead a principled life, one must ensure that one is never initiating force. This is both easier and more difficult than you might imagine. In day to day life, many people live principled lives whether or not they think about it that way, because many of us are raised to abide by it (though not in those exact terms).
It is more difficult in politics, where voting for someone may mean delegating the initiation of force through them (and in this day and age, almost always does). Isn't democracy mob-rules? Aren't there things that the majority should not decide over the objections of individuals?
