For purposes of being transparent I have made a page here where I comment on my position in respect of a whole range of topical issues. It must be remembered that these are secondary issues for me, behind the primary issues already listed above. I believe addressing the primary issues above will make a large impact on many of these secondary issues. They include (in no particular order):

Follow me on twitter, I'm @rick_carmody. That's my personal twitter account, which I use mostly as a place to store interesting reference material. If you follow me though, you'll see the sorts of things I am interested in and value by what I tweet.

Reasons why I don't need lots of policies:

Page created 05/02/19, by me, coding in HTML, a bit rusty, but not a bad effort if I do say so myself. Not sure when I'll get to update it next, I don't have a whole staff to do these things for me, so It'll have to be pretty minimal and no frills. Updated 17 March 19.
