Single Value

After a conversation with my oldest friend who, if I continue with a blog, I'm sure will be referenced on many occasions, Nate convinced me to try my hand at writing a blog. I haven't given much thought to anything lately that I feel would concern most people.
I suppose I would have defined myself as a conservative the majority of my life, however, recently I have began to realize that my true opinions fall much more into the libertarian philosophy.
There is one single value that I hold more sacred than any other. That is the freedom of choice. I believe we were created with the God-given right to make choices for ourselves. I live in a country that was founded on this principle (we're on a slippery slope away now), I base my entire belief system on this principle, and I believe that the answers to most of the problems in society lie in this principle.
As I stated, I haven't really give any serious thought to many things recently, but I hope to share my views and thoughts if only with myself...
