About Bill Bradley
Bill Bradley is a City Councilman. He is an avowed Libertarian.
For those interested in all things political and even those simply
curious, it's a fascinating American political party to get to know.
I admit, at first, that Bill occasionally used to annoy me because it seemed he served only as a pesky obstructionist on the Council.
Of course, that's purely psycho because I am surely the exact same type of "annoyer". DUH!
Bill is a true believer in the philosophy of Libertarianism.
He's a reliable rock solid opinion against government in our lives, pure and period.
"So what is he doing in government?", I used to growl a bit.
Well, involved in government is where we all need to be but....NOT.
That's the idea Bill represents.
I have heard Bill explain his vote on every issue since he became a councilman.
(Any explanations from Council are rare indeed.)
He warns us, always, to keep a keen and relentless eye on government's control over our lives.
And Bill's role is to be IN government trying to shut IT down from
excessive taxing and interference in our life, liberty, property and pursuit of happiness.
Hmmmmmmm..........
I am fascinated by the topic and I am going to ask Bill if he might participate in a Watchdog blog telling us about The Libertarian Party and philosophy.
And, yo, readers, I *know* you are out there. Denise Hartman (who owns this site)is more than willing to add you as a contributor to the Watchdog site. I especially invite Council members, DDA Board Members, Kevin Anderson,the Planning Commission/ZBA members, local Dems and some young people to log in with information, argument, communication. Let's chat.
Anyway, I digress. I hope Bill will set up a Libertarian Party blog right next to the Greens and the Dems on Watchdog.
And, garsh, I suppose we'll have to invite those pesky Republicans too.
Oh, and Bill Bradley has the deepest, most beautiful voice you ever heard.
Too bad he missed a career in the golden age of radio.
