Democrats & Republicans agree: Free Britney

[Joe Republic]

I still have no idea who Britney Spears is or why she is famous, and at this point I don't care to ask.

I guess she's a """musician""" but I've never heard any of her songs.

I'm a determinist, because I believe the laws of causality are absolute. Unlike some libertarians, I believe that the state is absolutely necessary to guarantee property and human rights. I support a hierarchical meritocratic system, which means I want to abolish current injustices such as racial discrimination in policing, nepotism, corruption, corporate kickbacks, and fraud. There is no such thing as the immaterial, and spirituality is a lie.

Democracy is immoral. Resist the mob.

I enjoy reading political philosophy (my favorite thinkers include Hobbes, de Tocqueville, Socrates, Freud, Adam Smith, Nietzsche, Ayn Rand, and John Stuart Mill; my least favorites include Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Malthus, Plato, and Bentham).

I'm a pianist and aspiring guitar player. I enjoy classical music and classic rock (Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, CCR, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, etc).

Some of my other areas of interest/study include geography, economics, vexillology, law, and rhetoric. In my spare time I write, draw, and hike in the backwoods of the Bay Area.
