Liberal Philosophy

The election season has finally come to an end. If you are an avid reader of Laywell's Lamp you are probably saying to your self "what's this liberal going to write about now that the Presidential election is over". I will admit, I have many liberal philosophies but my values are a mixture, some on the right, some on the left and some falling in no particular spectrum at all. I really don't know what being totally liberal stands for these days but I am pretty sure I've been one all my adult life. I've smoked too much marijuana and smelled too much incense to be anything other than a liberal but even with all that smoke that floated through the air over the years I have always tried to be as opened minded as possible. I don't ever want to be accused of clinging to the past when trying to understand the future. People who do that are stupid and do not deserve a vote but thankfully I don't get to decide who gets a vote.
Never fear there will be other elections but the readers of the Lamp will not see a change in my philosophy of life. I believe in the constitution and so far that document has proven to be a pretty good one giving me the right to have any philosophy I want.
