So you consider yourself Libertarian/Libertarian-leaning correct?

Main issue is to get the main stream media to start reporting facts and not made up BS.

That is a big issue in the country currently for sure. Both the Right & the Left seem to be pumping out “Fake News” propaganda daily to fit their respective agendas. What examples of fake news have you been seeing lately?

Sovereignity of individuals and respective Union States

Interesting... any examples you have seen of infringement of these ideals?

Yes taxation, drug laws, gun laws, rights of citizens (abuses of nsa,cia,fbi,dea) governors expanding their own scope exceeding their states constitution.

Lists can continue forever.

That is what I was thinking. Wanted to ask though. You consider yourself Libertarian/Libertarian-leaning correct?

I am just simply sovereign.

Oh interesting!

Yes, i might write about it in future.

How bout yourself?

I am Politically Independent. On the surface I’d consider myself leaning Conservative Fiscally and leaning Liberal on Social Issues.

The most pressing concerns to me are public health issues ranging from mansanto-like factory farming methods that just wreck the health of countless people across the globe to things like EMFs and wifi causing health issues, how our brain function is beginning to decline the more we plug ourselves into the technology we've made.

I feel that factory farming methods that impact health are dangerous because 1. we eat food, breathe air, and use water pretty much every day. and 2. it's a remnant issue from the last big industrial revolution that we should have fixed but didn't haven't ... too many industries were making a lot of money off of this, and big business putting profit before people is another post entirely.

If we're not careful, this next industrial revolution, the technological revolution of the internet age that we're living through the first stages of, might cause some knockdown effects that we haven't prepared for adequately. A lot of us are excited about 5G and IoT for example, but look into how 5G can microwave water when it passes through water molecules, and our bodies are mostly water... Our mitochondria use water to function. There has to be safer ways to bring ourselves to the next level of technological advancement. We have to do it without killing ourselves.

I agree. People don’t even think about the downsides and even dangers of new technology. We don’t even have enough years worth of studies to determine how or if our technology is effecting our health/wellness
