No, nothing *wrong* with it at all. Just perhaps disadvantageous.

That’s both funny and sobering FSK! Thanks for commenting.

There’s nothing wrong with starting out on a walled garden.

When I first started blogging, I was thinking “OMFG!! Someone’s going to kill me if I write about this stuff!” That hasn’t happened (yet). I see now that’s the result of a lifetime of abuse by parasites. Whenever I had a non-conforming thought, my teachers or parents always immediately corrected me.

Now, my only concern is “A potential wage slave employer who googles for my real name should not find my blog.”

Honestly, George, I think there is a prevailing attitude amongst libertarian circles that sitting around and bitching amongst ourselves is a better use of our time than attempting to educate anyone. When you initially posted the query on Facebook, one of the first responses was from someone who gave a long-winded version of “I don’t wanna.”

So few of us want to do the work of blogging, educating, or take part in the smallest amount of slactivism, but we’ll whine when the only faces of libertarianism/liberty movements/etc. are just disgruntled neo-cons. It’s time for us to start taking some responsibility of our own.
