Why was this site created?  Three reasons:

1. I have a great life, a great job, and a great family.  But at the end of the day I feel like I’m leaving something on the table.  I created this website with the hope that I would find some fulfillment in it, some camaraderie from like minded individuals around the world, and an outlet for my observations.
2. Many years ago after a recommendation from my father, I read a book titled “The Sovereign Individual.”  I have not read a political science book before or since, but I was completely engaged by the defining principle of this book as simply stated in the title.  The concept of a Sovereign Individual was planted in my brain and resonated with my core beliefs to the point that it became a defining principle which can be summarized as “Self Ownership.”  Since that time, I’ve wanted an avenue to help other people find the joys of taking control of their lives in the same way that I have.
3. I have a desire to start a charitable organization.  A legacy project to leave this world better than I came into it.  My hope is that this site grows into a charitable endeavor as it matures.
