- " The government that governs least, governs best." - Thomas Jefferson
I know I'm in the minority, expecially on a college campus, but this single statement may best reflect my hopes of where our political attitudes may evolve towards. I have always been interested in the game of politics; from the tradeoffs to the kickbacks to the glimmer of of actual hope and progress that potentially shines through and what we hope to achieve. I hope to progress my understanding of politics through this online course, which really plays into a busy work and home schedule. My only fear is that the classroom discussion of arguable topics is sacrificed but I'm sure we will be able to find a way. A little about myself: I'm a libertarian, an endangered species, and no, I dont like Nascar, country music, and I did not grow up in the Hamptons.
