With all the labeling going around of being a 'liberal' or 'conservative'.

Frankly, I'm not sure what I am so I call myself an independent.

So on the way home from the golf course, I decided to peck out what are the defining tenets of my views and let all of you who might ponder this join in the COMMENTS with your thoughts.

For me I'm for whatever strategy that will increase and maintain and reliable 'supply chains' for goods and services to the broadest band of the population of earth. The ultimate result is the broadest band of 'connectivity' in terms of economics opportunities, internet educations, and freedom of choice.

I believe that this type of connectivity is being accomplished by the rapid expansion of 'globalization' which is the most effective avenue to pluralistic types of governments which give the people a system to have a voice in their governance.

The question of representative governance is most often an issue of 'sequencing'... meaning that democracy isn't always the beginning step in the process. I believe that governance should be about establishing the broadest band of economic connectivity which generates 'discretionary' income which is the first real step of democracy or some form of pluralism.

Folks are much less concerned about who governs them when they are hand to mouth and much more interested in having a voice when their basic needs are met.

So I'm interested in comments on whether or not this description makes me a conservative, a liberal an independent, a globalist or ??

Comments?
