An E-quaintance of mine, unnamed here once said to me
It’s not that government action is inherently bad; it’s that [i]bad government action[/i] is inherently bad.
Well not exactly.Its not that government per se is bad rather the problem is that most of the US government’s actions are bad.
Our government is good at locking people […]
Folks I don’t necessarily agree with the rant in its entirety but what the heck…
Listen you politicos do not want to here anything about Al-Queda, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, or Afghanistan. Its a distraction.
None of those pea-hats pose any real threat to the United States, its territories or possessions. In fact you […]
Reason asked “Whatever Happened to the Libertarian Democrat?” The answer to the question is quite simple. Government did.
Less facetiously he ran into Prospers 1st and 2nd Priorities of Government
Libertarianism as a philosophy is diametrically opposed to those drives. Because of that every effort of the system is designed to thwart it. […]

Whether these are laws are against drugs, prostitution, sex acts between consenting adults, or they require a person to wear a seat […]
Yahoo reported on this issue so I figured I’d weigh in.
Personally I think its a fine idea to have any pets you might own fixed. Its tends to make them happier and healthier to boot. If I had any, I’d have it done.
On the other hand I don’t think its a particularly good idea to […]
This was from a discussion on why seat belt laws are wrong but it really applies more to generally risky behavior
The basic ideas of Mind your own business and Don’t Go looking For Trouble are among the cornerstones of freedom.
While you are a fool if you take certain risks unless you put others at immediate […]
I don’t fully agree with Ron here but I did promise I’d post this short rant for him.
