Militant Moderation

One of the differences between this attempt at lifestyle modification and past attempts is that although my goal is a total lifestyle makeover, I am not trying to change everything at once.  One aspect of my life, my sleeping patterns was chosen because it seemed that it could have the most effect with the least effort and that is where I started.

There is a real temptation when trying to reform society to try and tackle everything at once, this has been the history of Libertarianism.  For 30 years we have put forth what America needs to do to get back in shape.  America looks up from the couch, looks at what we have to offer, and says,”Can’t be done”.  It then goes back to chowing down on “deficit potato chip” while getting reabsorbed in the fantasy world the politicians present them.

Even if the reforms Libertarians present are correct, they are wrong if we cannot get them implimented.  30 years of failure should be enough to convince us that it is time to try something different.
