We should just let go of government, stop voting for DemoPulibcans, ignore them, buy and sell on totally private markets. They dare not use brute force against all of us. They rely on our sheepish subjection. They try to dazzle and distract us with wars and space programs, and work secretly to grow their power. Tune in, drop out. vote NOTA.

The Seasteading Institute today announced that it has been established in order to establish permanent, autonomous ocean communities to enable experimentation and innovation with diverse social, political, and legal systems. It will continue and expand on the work of Patri Friedman and Wayne Gramlich, authors of " Seasteading: A Practical Guide to Homesteading the High Seas".

Did you hear about the dyslexic insomniac agnostic, who lay awake all night wondering if there was a DOG? Seriously, let us get a sense of reality back into what we talk about. Why do we regard a dollar as something of value? Why let central banks, who officially hold that their paper notes are legal tender, work to devalue the thing that will be our true money? Why do we continue acquiescing in government, let alone actually consenting to it?

You knew that Cato had a covert agenda aimed at selling us into serfdom. But you may have missed what happened on the way to privatizing America. The Troll of the Roads, Bob Poole is coining money on the program that includes the Real ID, the NAU, and globalization. You need to know.

Earth day is becoming outdated. It is an annual feast, albeit somewhat austere and backward looking, of celebrating and urging the simple life, the medieval life. Earth day is a symbol of negatives. Let us, rather, celebrate E-day!

"I'd like to offer you a better answer than that.
"I believe in America.
"I believe in the values of individual freedom and unlimited opportunity that made this country great.
"I believe that the Republican and Democratic parties have betrayed those values, and that in so doing they have failed in their duty to the American people and to the American Dream.
"I believe that those values, and that dream, can be restored."

The United States is headed for an economic crisis bigger than the current recession. Congress is too scared of voters turning against them if they do the courageous thing, the right thing. They all think they will be out of office and retired when the goose dies. I cannot tell if they have their heads in the sand or in some other dark place.

Politicians keep looking at the market and keep finding it broken. They think up ways to fix it, to make it more fair. Thus they take what could be a win-win situation and turn it into lose-lose.

We libertarians recognize the value of a system of laws. More than any other movements, ours espouses formation of a system of laws that will be a system that implements justice and that will work. Our goal is a system that first promotes justice, but which yearns also be a society of love. A society must first be a society of justice before it can be a society of compassion and wellness.

How will future historians view the Ron Paul Campaign? They will recognize this as the change point, when the people realized they could do it themselves. Ordinary people are creating tools that are changing politics; by so doing they are proving that the people can govern themselves. That was the original vision that brought America into being, watch as ordinary people make that vision a reality.

I'm unabashedly for Ron Paul, but I'm also more unabashedly for libertarianism and achieving a system of government that not only holds dear, but honors and implements, the concepts of individual rights and equality.
Kubby already has an account with us to use to spread his campaign materials, speeches, and press releases. All others Presidential Candidates registered libertarian are welcome to the same.

I am not a member. I quit the Libertarian Party because I gave up on politics. That is the same reason I part company with Objectivists at ARI. There is one choice: politics or the market.

Is the problem of Congress' massive spending due to lobbyists the real problem? Congress fails time and again to end it. Where do they get the authority? Where do they get the money?

If it is necessary to limit government, then perhaps we cannot have government. It is after all a "monopoly on the use of force in a given geographic area." Everyone has to deal with it. Therefore if what we need, as human beings, liberty and agencies to protect that liberty, government is the worst way of trying to provide them. We need a polycentric ordering of society, not a single power.

If you were President/Prime Minister for a day, with the power to do absolutely anything (Supreme Court? What Supreme Court?), what would you do and why? I would start dismantling everything bad in our government, because they destroy liberty instead of securing it.
