I'm conservative. Notice I didn't say that I'm "pretty" conservative, or "very" conservative, or a "little" conservative. You either are or you aren't. I believe in the individual. In my opinion, individualism is the foundation that built America. When governments begin to make individualism a bad thing, bad things happen. Unions don't like individuals. Harsh statement? What's solidarity? Putting the group ahead of the individual. What's communism? Putting the group ahead of the individual.
Don't get me wrong. There's a time for putting the group ahead of the individual. A football team has to be a TEAM, not 11 individuals. There's nothing wrong with recognizing the sum of the parts. The problem comes when an overreaching authority takes away the choice. A player chooses to be on a team. A union member typically has no choice but to join the union.
I sincerely hope that we're not losing our choice.

My name is Scott Zuke. I live in the Midwest with my wife and two kids and my chocolate lab. I have many interests, including techie stuff, outdoor activities, and learning new things. I can often be found fly fishing, staring into the stars, or snowboarding in the winter months. I'm a typical guy in his late 30's, trying to balance career and life, trying to drop a few pounds, and attempting to give enough time to my kids.
