Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I first became an EMT in Texas as a high school student because I was an athletic trainer for my school. My love for emergency services grew from there
Why I Love Fire/EMS
I love to over come a challenge, can you think of a bigger challenge to beat than a burning building?
Top Issues Facing Responders:
50% of LOOD are due to health factors such as heart attacks, strokes, etc. How do we decrease this number, yet keep the experience these firefighters bring to the service?

my libertarian thoughts on abortion

Posted on May 18, 2008 at 3:24pm 1 Comment

I have always felt the government should stay out of out private lives. So the political side of me understood the basic argument behind Row v Wade of a right to privacy and the government had no role in what a woman did with her reproductive choices. But the human side of me always felt that abortion was wrong. It was wrong to create a life and then end it. For years I debated this in my mind, then one day I resolved the issue. Yes there is a right to privacy, but that right is superseded by a… Continue

Former Congressman Bob Barr wnats to be the LP candidate for president. Here is a letter I shared with him

1. After one month in office begin a series of speeches, once a month that talk about the problems we face and your solutions to them. Explain the libertarian philosophy this… Continue

How to get more Volunteers

Posted on March 22, 2008 at 10:00am 2 Comments

I posted this on the Missouri Firefighters and Rural Firefighters groups in reply to the same question, how do we get more people into our department. I decided I would add it as on of my blogs also, sorry it is not about politics like my normal blogs.



From everything I have read it seems the National average for volunteer fire department membership is 0.3% of the population severed. That is to say for every 1000 people in your service area you should expect 3 volunteers. Some… Continue

THE CREED OF FREEDOM



INTRINSIC NATURE OF RIGHTS

I believe that only individuals have rights, not the collective group; that these rights are intrinsic to each individual, not granted by the state; for if the state has the power to grant them, it also has the power to deny them, and that is incompatible with personal liberty.

I believe that a just government derives its power solely from the governed. Therefore, the state must never presume to do anything beyond what… Continue

Traits of the next president

Posted on February 17, 2008 at 9:31am 1 Comment

Now it looks like my choices have been narrowed to three. I still do not know the name, but of this I am this I am certain.

It will be a person who puts the desires of the group ahead of the rights of the individual.
It will be a person who takes from one group to buy votes from another.
It will be a person who tries to engineer our economy and social structure through laws and tax breaks.
It will be a person who has forgotten the meaning of the 10th amendment.
