A little backround on me

Well, this being my first blog, I suppose I will introduce myself. For the purpose of this blog, my name is BA77. I've lived in a number of different places in my somewhat brief lifetime, although the vast majority of my life has been spent in Alaska, where I was born. My youth was spent, for the most part, being a bored, rebellous kid who liked drugs and punk rock (I still like punk rock). About the time our illustrious president, George W. Bush, came to power, I started to become interested in politics. Perhaps this was because even though I knew little of politics at the time, I did know that something was wrong with the way things were happening in the country, and this belief became only more intense as time went on. I searched for an ideology that suited me, and eventually discovered libertarianism, and shortly afterwards, anarchism. These two schools of thought (which are actually quite similar; in most European nations, libertarian is simply another word for anarchist, although in the US, it has taken on a whole different meaning) greatly influenced and still influence me. I consider myself currently a Minarchist, and have a strong dislike for the government. Although, I admit: sometimes it's impressive just how much they can fuck things up.

Other than that, I currently live and work as a self employed commercial fisherman in Kodiak, Alaska. I have actually had the unique privilege to live some of my ideals there; for the most part, I live off the land, growing and hunting for my own food, and I don't have to participate in the consumer culture as much as many people do. I'm also very proud of the fact that I'm a self employed member of the working class. Besides my residence in Alaska, I also spend time in New York, where I'm involved in a couple of anti-State organizations and groups. Anyway, thats about all for me for now. If I think of anything else, I suppose I'll post it. Later.

So this is blogging...

Now everyone on the web will be able to see my own pretentious, jackass opinions! Mwahahahaha!
