This was front page Sunday locally.  It highlights all the area school cops as shining officer-friendly heroes counciling troubled youth in a team-work award-winning effort of the community.  A year ago I wouldn't have given this a second thought.  Now I find it pretty disturbing in so many different ways.  I'm all for keeping of the peace, but with such a lesson in state presence and existence in aquescense to the armed agents of the state, what chance is there for the formation of free adults who will not accept intrusions on their liberty?  If you are at school all day having your stuff sniffed by dogs how will you develop the volition to ever object to this as an adult?  If a cop is yo smiling daddy in times of trouble will he ever be percieved as a thr

hey all!

I haven't been able to reply to eveyone who's expressed interest, but ought to have that done by tomorrow night. Want to let you know that I'm looking at the layout for times for us to get together on the conference call line Furb set up for us (THX FURB!!!) and I'm thinking about making Sunday evening/night our first conference to record. If you can make it, it looks like after 10 pm eastern would be best, but I can shift this around. If you're interested, write to me here or at libertyconspiracy@yahoo.com and I'll get you the number, access code and we'll get out topic line-up ready!

See you later!

Harry Browne, in my humble opinion, was the most persuasive libertarian ever.  He has been dead 5 years now.   www.harrybrowne.org has a archive of his great articles.  After nine eleven, many libertarians got all responsible and towed the party line.  Harry (and Jacob Hornberger) stick out as two people who stuck to their guns.

My friend Tarrin showed me this and I couldn't believe it.

The city of Savannah, GA has shut down Girl Scout cookie sales due to a lack of a f*cking permit.

It's 2:25 on 2:25 - My dad was born today in 1917. He liked Louis Armstrong, sports, target shooting, economics, philosophy, Planet of the Apes, drawing with pastels, good novels, The Who, Boston, The Alarm, The New Bomb Turks, Gene Krupa, Louis Belson, dogs, tea, classy women, and his family. He hated government and bureaucracy. He went sledding with me when he was in his seventies, and broke a rib, beat a knife-wielding robber into unconsciousness in VA when he was 67, and played hockey with my bro in his sixties. I think he's welcoming Nic Courtney to a good place right now.

The last words he ever said to me were, "Thanks for coming in, pal."

Like Ace Rimmer, all one can say about him is, "what a guy." :)

Happy Birthday, PHG.

I have been listening to gard since he started co-hosing FTL on mondays, gotta say, I like michelle 7 but I miss gard on there.  I remember the first time he was talking about meeting a woman in a book store who couldn't get her child to read because they weren't teaching phonics.  anyways, I'm in Nova Scotia and wanted to say Hi to everyone here.

Hair transplantation means, transplanting live hair roots onto the bald area. These transplanted hair roots behave in the same manner as the hair from the area where they are extracted from. Hair transplant surgery has been around for the last fifty years but has developed to the extent that it results in successful, natural looking hair. A hair transplant involves removing or grafting hairs from the back and sides of your head – the horseshoe pattern of hair, and placing these in the bald areas. Once there these hairs will grow as normal. Hair transplant surgery is fast becoming a popular choice of procedure for both men and women who have been affected by hair loss.

There aren’t that many transgendered individuals who are libertarian, which is kind of weird for a bunch of individuals who’ll often bitch about government preventing them from doing etc to their bodies.

She says supports Ron Paul but then says she supports same sex couples being able to adopt, well Ron Paul doesn’t support same sex couples being able to adopt & voted in congress to against allowing same sex couples from adopting/

Sorry but if you’re prepared to have government discriminate against a whole section of the community based upon their sexual orientation then in my opinion you’re no libertarian.

Starting at 0:31, you can see a black and white of McGoohan on the wall.

A correction to comments made in the podcast posed on February 10, 2011.

I mentioned that Murray Rothbard explained the difference between black markets and red markets.  This is just plain wrong, the explanation I attributed to Rothbard should be attributed to Samuel Edward Konkin III in his book "New Libertarian Manifesto."

Sorry about that.

I have a friend named Scott that was the first person to ever introduce me to Anarchy. I've been nagging him for months to come here and join. He sent me this today and told me if I'd read this and tell him what I thought, he'd join today. So, I did, and WOW! I love this article. It's one of those "preaching to the choir" things to post it here, but it's just a great article.

I saw that Gard posted this story on the front page http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41021318/ns/business/

Ironically this side of the ponfd the Tory Led government are proposing to pour billions into building high speed rail http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-12298708

Not denying that this country wouldn't benefit from high speed rail but I'm not sure it should be government paying for it.

Promblem is the French & German governments already have.

It really does appear that politicians are prepared to take the piss about a disabled individual even when the disabled individual happens to be one of their own.
