Welcome to OUR DELAWARE: doing business with our neighbors

There is a misconception that Libertarians do not believe in community.  In point of fact, Libertarians believe very strongly in communities based on self-reliance, voluntary cooperation, and grassroots political activity.

Two of the most important aspects of that sort of community are the personal and economic interchanges between individuals in the community that build trust, friendship, and prosperity.

Too often, however, the modern world deludes us into focusing most of our economic interactions on giant corporations or government agencies.

This is a blog (designed mostly for reading via Facebook) that is intended to help connect people in Delaware with other people in Delaware who run great local businesses and provide first quality personal service that you cannot get from a mega-corp or giant chain.

Moreover, when you do business with your neighbors, you strengthen not just the local economy, but the local community.

I do not intend for what is published here to be product or business reviews, but personal experiences and recommendations for excellent local businesses owned and run by great people in our state.  In the beginning, of necessity, most of the posts will be mine, and will necessarily concentrate on businesses I patronize.  Hopefully, if you like what's going on here, you will feel motivated to contribute your own. I will be publishing the procedure for doing that very soon.

The first posts will start appearing later this weekend.

One final note:  if you are ever motivated to visit one of these businesses because of something you see written here, please tell the, and explain that this is all part of a concentrated effort to get people connected in . . . our Delaware.
