    To Introduce Myself

    Hello all, I am glad to be here, and I can't wait to debate with you all in the hopes that we may sharpen our skills in persuasion and rhetoric. For full disclosure, I would categorize my philosophy as voluntarist, my economics as capitalist, and my political leaning as anarchist. More...
