Wesley Messamore | Contributor

Wesley Messamore, a recent graduate of Belmont University with a degree in Entrepreneurship, is the founder, owner, and editor of http://HumbleLibertarian.com, where he advocates tirelessly for peace, love, and liberty. He is currently accepting submissions and even looking for regular contributors, so if you write well or have a sharp eye for good news, stop by and drop him an e-mail (wemessamore@gmail.com). Wes also loves philosophy (with a particular interest in Aristotelian metaphysics and virtue ethics), religion (while he only adheres to one, he more or less loves them all), and the exquisite rush of being alive and human. He's an intransigent libertarian, not merely because liberty is moral and enlightened; not only because liberty produces explosive material prosperity; but mainly because it's just so unbelievably cool!
