Ward Bounds:
American, realist (some would say pessimist), libertarian, individualist, classical liberal (NOT a liberal in the modern sense, or a social liberal, or a progressive; in fact, quite the contrary!!!), Southerner, traveler, guitar player, avid reader, history enthusiast and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound...

















Liberty is a concept of political philosophy and identifies the condition in which an individual has the ability to act according to his or her own will.

A libertarian is a person who upholds the principles of individual liberty especially of thought and action.
Libertarians believe in, and pursue, personal freedom while maintaining personal responsibility.
Libertarians strongly oppose any government interfering in their personal, family and business decisions. Everyone should be free to live their lives and pursue their interests as they see fit as long as they do no harm to another.

Smaller government, lower taxes, more freedom...

Classical liberalism (also known as traditional liberalism or laissez-faire liberalism) is a doctrine stressing the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, constitutional limitations of government, free markets, and individual freedom from restraint.

Individualism is a term used to describe a moral, political, or social outlook that stresses human independence and the importance of individual self-reliance and liberty.
