About VanArsdale

I'm a business consultant/sales trainer.  I have been a Libertarian since age 18 (I'm 46 now).  My political philosophy is from Jefferson:  "Government governs best when government governs least".  I strongly believe in individual freedoms; keep government out of my personal matters, but regulate corporations.  I voted for Obama, but he was my 3rd choice.  This is the first election of 8 that I've voted in where my choice "won".  I am a military veteran, but not dogmatic about military issues. I was on the debate team in high school & college, so I have higher standards for proof & argumentation than most I hear, see or read.
