Thanks, y'all. I think I just confuse a lot of people on my positions. I am a rule-of-law kind of guy, but not exactly cop-friendly. I am very much democratic and for power in the hands of the people, but I am also an institutionalist bureaucrat. I am very progressive (for the US, anyway) on a lot of views but they come from policies espoused by both a Republican and a Democrat (look in my signature if you are confused). I hunt, fish, camp, hike, etc., and with that I have strong view on conservation.

So yeah, I have a weird amalgamation of ideals when it comes to my politics. Combine that with a degree in public policy and administration as well as graduate studies in the same (halfway through the masters, then on to a Ph D, maybe) and over a decade of civil service plus 30-ish years involved in the Boy Scouts of America, you get someone with a very well defined moral and ethical code that is devoted to the public good more than 99% of people in this modern age. Good times.
