New Author

Hi all;

I'm lilatomic, yet another Montrealer. I am not of the center, center-left persuasion, and I have been called on to this fine blog by my friends as a counter-point. It is my task to present an opposition view, hopefully stimulating a dialog around issues that we disagree on, to better understand each other's points of view, and perhaps even reach a consensus.

I am mostly Libertarian. This means that I am fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. I believe that the government should take on a small role, and let the individuals in a society make decisions on what's best for them. I also believe that people are entitled to the fruits of their labour and thoughts. It might happen that, at some times, I agree with the other authors. This is because my beliefs tend to overlap with their's, to varying degrees.

Thanks,

lilatomic
