Beginning tomorrow, and continuing (at least) through an October 30th debate between the candidates, I’ll post daily about the 43rd Assembly race between Evan Wynn and Andy Jorgensen. It’s likely to be a close race, between candidates of different views, and for that reason alone it’s worth considering.
Some of those posts will outline the positions of the candidates; others will offer a libertarian perspective on their positions. Thinking about the differences in their views, it’s hard for me to imagine anyone interested in politics being ambivalent of the outcome.
One quick note, about something that I’ve mentioned before: I don’t believe in opinion-making. (See, along these very lines, The Impossibility of Opinion-Making.) People are sharp, informed, and well-able to form their opinions from their own observations, reading, and discussions. One writes from conviction, but as part of a larger – wholly welcome – discussion.
In fact, I’m convinced the only sound arguments come from this idea: that one writes so well as one can on the basis of what one truly believes, tenaciously and diligently argued. Worthiness lies is a committed, sincere effort.
As this series goes on, there’ll be other posts, of course, just as before.
