Crudity as a substitute for wit. Law and Politics Individual liberty, balanced by personal responsibility. Laws which are clearly beneficial to the individual and to society. Laws which produce no benefit breed disrespect for law in general, and should be stricken from the books. Laws based on tradition and taboo, rather than on rationally projected or demonstrated benefit to humanity.

Government has no rights as such, only the responsibility to serve and protect all of the governed without favoritism. Force beyond what is necessary to that end is unjustified perversity. Music Classical, jazz, swing, rock. People Honesty and forthrightness. Deceit and breach of trust.
