Hello Steemians

I just want to introduce myself so that you can all get to know me a little better. I write about a variety of topics, including: precious metals as a form of savings, monetary freedom, philosophy, Objectivism, Classical Liberalism, the rule of law, constitutionalism, and others.

I have joined the Steem community because I'm looking for a positive place where I can learn from others and maybe even share a little of the knowledge I have. I've grown tired of Facebook's culture of meme-posting, name-calling, and overall rude behavior. Because users get paid on Steemit, I am hoping I can find better content and a more civil atmosphere.

Here is a current picture of me:

I look forward to getting to know some of you.
