My partner Kam and I are alike in many ways, but different in many others. I tend to pay a lot of attention to politics, as where Kam could care less. I feel, even though I'm hardly the most ardent Libertarian, that it is my duty to recruit other people to the party. So I had a conversation with him about it.
"Kam, when am I going to get you to register as a Libertarian. We need to recruit more guys like you to the party." His family immigrated from Hong Kong to San Francisco when he was young. Growing up as a youth in Chinatown taught him many things about life and politics. "Here we go again, you and your politics. I told you already that I don't care about all that other stuff. I just want to make some money." For those of you following my blog on a consistent basis; Kam is my main contact in Chinatown and an extremely important part of the process. So I handle with kid gloves, but still I handle.
He was able to understand, fairly quick, when I approached him about my views and strategies as pertains to Asian consumers, so I know he gets the potential economic side of being a Libertarian: "Think of it this way. Would you rather make your own decisions based on your belief's or would you rather have someone else dictate those decisions for you?" One of these days I'm going to get him signed-up for the party, but it's not going to be today. "I tell you what, the minute all this stuff we're doing starts to make money; I'll be the first Chinese Libertarian in the State of Nevada."
I like to end every post of mine with a thought I'm having...Call it the village idiot thought of the day. "I went to pick up my room mate at the airport earlier, he was visiting his son in Florida. Anyways, I couldn't take my car because it is a hazard to society, so I took his. It was a 2008 Honda Civic with 87,000 miles on it. Compared to my car it was like driving a brand new Mercedes."
