A few hours ago as I was on my way home from work I heard someone on my XM radio discussing peoples true political leanings, explaining that many people who call themselves “moderate democrats” or “moderate republicans” would really find themselves to be more in line with the “label” of libertarian.  While I’ve heard the term libertarian many times, I’ve never really bothered to go and look up exactly what it meant.  Until tonight, anyway.  I did a little research on Wikipedia, found The Worlds Smallest Political Quiz, and as it turns out I’m just slightly left-of-center libertarian.

So, what is a libertarian?  As I understand it, a libertarian is a person who believes that personal civil rights are imperative and should not be infringed upon by the government, that free trade with all nations should be maintained and be as unregulated as possible across the markets, that borders should be open (I’m not for that particular one…), and that people should, in general, simply be allowed to go and do what they want, when they want, so long as they aren’t doing harm to others.  So, when you think about it, most moderates really do probably fit into the libertarian category.

Anyway, keep your eyes here over the next few weeks for major changes to the site.  I’ve still got a few pages to create (like a good contact page, my portfolio, and my resume), plus I want to move from using a modified template-based design to my own design.  Seems only natural since I’m a web designer, eh?

By the way, if you know my father give him a call sometime this weekend and congratulate him on his upcoming marriage this weekend.  I’ve very proud and happy to be his best man and to be welcoming Susan into the Savage family.

As of May 26, 2009, I will no longer be posting on Mexijew.com. I am moving my base of operations to ScottASavage.com. My format will be a little more professional, my posts a bit less… raw. My reasons for doing so are complex. When I started Mexijew.com I was barely over the age of 18, full of angst and lacking of skill, experience, wisdom, and tact. Well, I’m still full of angst and lacking of wisdom and tact, but I’ve got experience and a bit more common sense now. Besides all of that, I would like to be able to put my blog into my portfolio, and of course move to WordPress after all these years using Blogger.com.

In the next few weeks I’ll finish migrating posts over to ScottASavage.com and will change Mexijew.com into a redirector. Until then, please head on over to the new site for the latest and greatest. Expect more frequent posts and more interaction.

Thanks to everyone who ever visited Mexijew.com, left a comment, or sent an e-mail. It’s been a wild ride. Let’s keep the momentum going for the new site.
