Kevin's Political Philosophy

My approach to my political philosophy is one based on deductions, based on as few basic general assumptions as possible. This is accordance to my overall science based approach of understanding the nature of things.

Some General Principles

My overall political stance is that of a Liberal.

The State should be there for the benefit of the people, not the State.

State regulation should only be used where it is necessary.

Neither anarchy, pure democracy, or pure socialism are adequate systems to provide for an optimum structure of a State.

The notion that some action may cause harm, is not sufficient, by itself, to produce any consideration whatsoever that such action should be regulated by the State.

Murder (death penalty) by the State is not an acceptable action by the State for any reason.

It is better to let 10 guilty individuals go free than to punish 1 innocent individual.
