But I will say that when I first started posting to online bulletin boards, I was far more liberal than I am today. Folks who knew me back in those days (barney fife, Eric/Eup, stekim, others) could tell you that I was very much a centrist Democrat...

I still have some liberal positions, but 15 years of working with struggling inner city communities, and exposure to new ideas through these forums, has pushed me to the right.

I became convinced that the ideas I saw coming from the right were more in line with the practical realities I had experienced in the real world.
