I am attorney in Chicago. I used to be somewhat active in local Democratic politics, but dropped out several years ago from a combination of disillusionment with the Democratic Party and competing demands on my time and resources. I still vote Democratic in almost office in each election, but I find myself increasingly identifying with libertarian positions -- I suppose I would consider voting Republican if the GOP's claim to the anti-government mantle weren't so laughable, and I might consider voting Libertarian if their platform weren't so extreme. Like a lot of people, I think what I want from my government is help for those who need it, protection from violence, and otherwise to be left alone.
