You know, I’ll probably never develop a brand if I keep changing stuff…
So, here’s the deal: In the next day or two, I’ll be changing the url of this site to justinology.org. Reasons:
1) I’m not really a classic libertarian. I believe in small government, but foreign policy trips me up. I don’t think the U.S. should be the world’s police force, but to think the radical Islamists will leave us alone if we leave them alone is a grave error. To quote Blaise Pascal, “Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”
2) Because of the above, I’m scared people will be misled by the site’s name and address. Though, in all truthfulness, I don’t think I qualify as a conservative anymore, either. I guess I fall somewhere between libertarian and conservative.
3) I want a name that’s non-specific enough to allow me to merge my other blogs into this one (I’ve got six total, though the personal blog will continue to stand alone). Why pay for web space I don’t need?
It’s not like I’ve had a major shift in political beliefs or anything. I guess the change is mostly one of convenience; I want to expand my topics a little, and do that with just one blog.
