You Know You Want It

eVille Mike: I consider myself a "small c conservative", but over the last few decades, we've swung so far to the right, that 20 minutes into almost any political conversation, somebody's going to tag me as a Looney Toons Leftie simply because I'm trying to argue in favor of getting this thing back to the middle. Or maybe it's a natural reversing of the poles that happens once in a while; or because I see a kind of backsliding towards authoritarian rule that seems to happen as a republic ages and people start to understand how hard democratic self-government really is. I'm trying to see it as it is; as it happens; and I'm trying to write some of it down before it gets lost in my brain clutter, or just disappears into the ether. To clarify: Mine is a very common name, and while I kind of like it that way because it gives me some anonymity, I'll tell you I'm not the Mike Roberts who has written a few novels; I didn't do porn; I wasn't CEO of ICANN. I'm just me.
