Bryan Caplan: The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies
My wife and I are the parents of two boys. We raise chickens, rabbits and a wide variety of fruits and veggies.
I have never felt "at home" in any community I have found myself. This was true in the first grade when I began to realize the dynamics at work in relationships, issues of cliques and politics that infect even the friendships of young children, and rejected them. It is also at work today where I continue to find myself a stranger in a strange land. The closest thing I have known to home is the acreage on which my family now lives, and even that is a little odd at times. I have experienced this as a curse but it seems to me now like a grace; so things go with the God of Israel.
playing with my sons, gardening, hobby farming, wrestling with the family dog, preaching to the family chicken flock, reading, discovering forgotten homesteading skills and recipes.
