I have espoused views in my life I’m not proud of, but I think the same can be said of anyone.

Part of my journey was a search for intellectual consistency. Their are people of faith who are able to do that, I am not one of them. When it comes to politics, there are two contemporary thinkers (Ken White and Radley Balko) who forced me to re-evaluate my beliefs.

I believe there are many Conservative thinkers who hold their positions in good faith. Sometimes they are even correct! I believe there are also many Liberal thinkers who hold their positions in good faith, sometimes they are right also.

So to answer your question, I don’t think my values were bad, some of my thinking about how to implement those values definitely was though.

As with most people we morph over time.

I’m an old guy. I started my life as a right-wing Conservative Christian. I’m now. Both an atheist and an anarchist. So yes people change. My journey has been six decades long.

One of the fucking dumbest things any sport could do.
