Front page — Reader feed — ABOUT ME...

I'm Gherald L. and this is a place to journal and rant inexpertly about whatever interests me.

At present this includes humor, freethought, liberty, laissez-faire economics, pragmatic politics, and foreign policy of the realism school.

Random quote

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”
