I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch...I describe myself as neither left nor right. I fervently believe in the individual. Both the rights of an individual, and the responsibilities of self-reliance. I would say that through hard work, I can consider myself successful, and I resent the leaches of the work thinking they have a right to what I produced.Governments are a necessary evil, and their main purpose should be protecting the citizens. Beyond that, I can't think of a legitimate reason for their existence.
