Heady stuff, indeed. Where is the flaw? I think the American scene could use Herbert Spencer today. He’s refreshing! Behold: “Let men learn that a legislature is not ‘our God upon earth,’ though, by the authority they ascribe to it, and the things they expect from it, they would seem to think it is. Let them learn rather that it is an institution serving a purely temporary purpose, whose power, when not stolen, is at the best borrowed” (emphasis added). Brilliant!

According to ABC News on November 4, recent Republican wins in gubernatorial elections in both New Jersey and Virginia prompted Ohio congressman John Boehner to say:

Non-Aggression Principle and Vice: Where's The Crime?
by Russell D. Longcore, russlongcore@gmail.com

One of the tenets of individual liberty is the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP), which states that no person has the right to initiate force or fraud against any other person for any reason. When the NAP comes up against criminal law as it relates to vices, both should be tested honestly.

U.S. Scared to Death
by Eric Nordstrom

It's almost Halloween and it's time to roll out the boogy-man. Yesterday President Barrack Obama opened the Haunted House by proclaiming a National Emergency. It would seem that government wants to scare the wits out of the People. The H1N1 virus is the most recent scary ghoul government has toward terrifying the masses.

Never Trust a Government Conviction
By Anthony Gregory

Megan Williams now says she was lying all along when accusing seven men of kidnapping, sexually abusing and assaulting her. The seven pled guilty to charges two years ago.

Indeed, “former Logan County prosecutor Brian Abraham, who was in charge of the case, said no one ever went to jail because of Williams’ statements. Instead, Abraham said Tuesday night, he decided early in the case not to rely on Williams’ statements, but on the physical evidence and the statements of the co-defendants.”

Government’s contribution: Immoral violence
by Larken Rose

It’s inefficient, it’s corrupt, it’s horrendously expensive, and it’s bad at almost everything it does, not only failing to solve problems, but constantly making them worse, and making new problems at the same time. Yet so many people still insist that this thing called “government” is needed, even if only for a few particular tasks.

Writing the New Texas Constitution: Avoiding Inherent Flaws
by Russell D. Longcore, russlongcore@bellsouth.net

I hear a lot these days about the constitutionality of secession. In this article, I will prove that the Constitution is without authority and that the subject of secession related to the Constitution is entirely irrelevant, and that any states need not concern themselves with the constitutionality of secession.

How "Justice" Operates Under A Criminal Regime
by William N. Grigg

Thieves for their robbery have authority when judges steal themselves. --
Shakespeare, Measure for Measure, Act II, scene 2

It's time to play that time-honored children's game, "One of These Things is Not Like the Others." In this case we're going to examine three case histories of people accused of a supposed offense called "tax evasion."

Peace and the "Peace Prize"
by Ben O'Neill | ben.oneill@hotmail.com

The recent Nobel Peace Prize awarded to President Barack Obama has drawn criticism from many commentators, including those who claim that the award is premature — that President Obama has yet to "make his mark" on US foreign policy.[1]

I Nominate Charles Manson
Larken Rose

I realize I'm too late this time around, but I wanted to get an early start to nominate someone for the next time the Nobel Peace Prize is given out. I nominate Charles Manson.

As you all know, Barrack Obama just won the Prize. And so, based on the assumption that it was quite proper and appropriate for him to have received it, I will now demonstrate that Charles Manson is even more worthy of such an honor.

Yes, Mass Extortion "Works" (for Some People)
Larken Rose

As usual, the mainstream discussion of health care "reform" focuses only on "acceptable" topics, which carefully avoid exposing the underlying violent nature of the state. For example, almost all of the debate over Obama's commie-care focuses on whether it "works," without defining just what it means for the system to "work."

GRATEFUL SLAVE
by Paine's Torch

I am a grateful slave.
My master is a good man.
He gives me food, shelter, work and other things.
All he requires in return is that I obey him.
I am told he has the power to control my life.
I look up to him,
and wish that I were so powerful.

My master must understand the world better than I,
because he was chosen by many others
for his respected position.
I sometimes complain,
but fear I cannot live without his help.
He is a good man.

Government-created chaos
Garry Reed

When you hear that some libertarians who typically call themselves Anarcho-Capitalists, or AnCaps, want to abolish government entirely do you respond with gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair?

“Without government we’ll have nothing but chaos,” you might gasp in dismay.

But think about how much chaos government creates.

Hope In Agorism
By nikolaus6

I just found an interesting label for a political ideology I share many beliefs in common with: Agorism.
