"It's a HOW problem, not a WHAT problem. The problem of the state isn't what it seeks to do, it's how it wants to do it."

Murray Rothbard wrote, "The outstanding disciple of his beloved mentor, the great libertarian Albert Jay Nock, Frank Chodorov, again unlike his 'libertarian' colleagues, never forgot for an instant that the State is the great predatory enemy of the human race, that the State is, in its very being, the organization and regularization of predation, exploitation, and robbery."

"
A sin without volition is a slap at morality. If a man is evil by birth, he has no will, no power to change it; if he has no will, he can be neither good nor evil; a robot is amoral.

To hold, as man's sin, a fact not open to his choice is a mockery of morality.

To hold man's nature as his sin is a mockery of nature.

To punish him for a crime he committed before he was born is a mockery of justice. To hold him guilty in a matter where no innocence exists is a mockery of reason.

Another important detail (and lesson) of Jesus' story, then, is that coercive government is fundamentally at odds with love; it is anti-life.

That should be no surprise, because coercion is a crime, no matter who is doing it or what the excuse. Coercion is all it takes to turn sex into rape, or a bank withdrawal into armed robbery. Coercion is among the central components of child abuse. Coercion replaces voluntary cooperation with violence and threats of violence. Gandhi, for one, put this clearly:

“One who uses coercion is guilty of deliberate violence. Coercion is inhuman.”

Repugnicans!

I was just listening to Kevin Barrett on Republic Broadcasting and while I'm not sure exactly what it was that he said, the word that I heard was, "Repugnicans." I just thought that if this isn't what he said ... I don't CARE ... it's a GREAT WORD!!! ;D

...get rid of the State... get rid of Race... get rid of GoD... get rid of all these Countries, and Classes and... simply deal with individuals. ... the reality is that only individuals exist and concepts... are only mined, and any time a concept contradicts the nature of an individual it is invalid.

"Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

This is from a movie review of This is England, and I found it compelling:

The roots of his hatred are fear: the fear that England is being stolen from him, coupled with a jealousy for those who have what he does not, whether it is the Asian shopkeeper with money or the black skinhead with the loving family. The richness of their lives only reinforces the poverty of his own, and when love no longer remains it is hate that sustains.

Mad; adj.
Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence;
not conforming to standards of thought, speech, and action derived by the conformants from study of themselves;
at odds with the majority; in short, unusual.
It is noteworthy that persons are pronounced mad by officials destitute of evidence that they themselves are sane.
- Ambrose Bierce

[eye2i2hear]

In a starlit avenue the consciousness is gathering;
take all the things you thought you knew and discard the truth you're peddling.
Come with us to a higher plane or you can eat the dirt you're buried in;
What if the wind changes, what if there's ice ages?

Here's all that you have to do take part in the new beginning;
What more have you left to lose; do nothing-- it's the old decision.

There's enough for everyone in the automated technospheres;
if you still can't find the sun, it's 'cuz you're trapped in a self made veil of tears;
What if the sea changes and valleys become mountain ranges?

Here's all that you have to do take part in the new beginning.
What more have you left to lose? Do nothing-- it's the old decision

Why are you so scared of things you can't change?
Why are you so frightened of things with no name?

If a man remains at the mercy of moods of hope and fear,
aroused by the outer world, he loses his consistency of character.
Such inconsistencies invariably lead to distressing experiences,
such humiliations often come from an unexpected quarter.

What if a deadly virus kills all the tea in china?

Here's all that you have to do take part in the new beginning;
what more have you left to lose? Do nothing-- it's the old decision
Here's all that you have to do, let go of your old religions
What more have you got to lose? Do nothing, its your decision

and via marc:

Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.

18 year old Estienne De La Boetie: Discourse on Voluntary Servitude (1548)

It is incredible how as soon as a people becomes subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and so willingly that one is led to say, on beholding such a situation, that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement.Habit and its effect. It is true that in the beginning men submit under constraint and by force; but those who come after them obey without regret and perform willingly what their predecessors had done because they had to. This is why men born under the yoke and then nourished and reared in slavery are content, without further effort, to live in their native circumstance, unaware of any other state or right, and considering as quite natural the condition into which they were born.

Discourse on Voluntary Servitude (1548) <=== 1548!

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Well now, 2i2, that was just plain NASTY! Here we were just going along minding our own business, grazing and bleating and there was simply NO CALL for such revelations to be exposed. NO CALL! It was rude.
