We haven't heard liberty Line Pod for agaes & I'm just wondering as to why?

This is a question I've been pondering for a while.  In a truly free market, your reputation is your livlihood -- there is no other way for someone to know with whom they are dealing other than the past experiences of other customers.  At the same time, your reputation is not something you own (I think anyway), it exists as the sum total of the experiences of other people.  Given those two things, how would you handle something like a deliberate campaign to destroy your reputation? 

Gard,

I've heard you object to patents and other intellectual property at Liberty Forum but never got the reasons.  I've read heart-rending articles about families torn apart when one member sues someone or is sued over an alleged infringement, but that is a personal issue, or an issue of "the big guy throwing his weight around - just because he can."

As a person who has the utmost respect for the Constitution, surely you realize that such protection is there.  From Article I, section 8: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;"

Once the the full series of the remake of The Prisoner has been shown this side of the pond how about organizing a podcast the basis of which would be a roundtable discussion via skype about why its shite compared to the original

Last weekend Furb told me that he was working on a phone pod & that it was probably going to be up by the end of the weekend.

When a phone pod wasn’t posted by Wednesday I then asked Gard what was occurring in regards to a phone pod, he emailed me saying it be up in the next few days, well here we are a few days later & still no phone pod posted.

I don’t want to be pushy about this or come over sounding like one selfish cunt but I’ve recorded a ton of stuff on the liberty line due to there being a general election going on here & the consequence of which I thought should be aired etc.

I’m sure the majority of folk here might have heard the geolibertarian podcast Gasrd & I did with Ed Joyce.

I’m sure there are plenty of libertarians who’d want to challenge a few things Ed stated.

Well I was going to go up to London today & do a follow up interview with Ed but I’m just getting over the flu & I’m still feeling pretty shite so I’ve had to postpone.

I'd like to hear gard's opinion on a recent conversation I had with a friend of mine. My friend was telling me about how he had read that the best places to work in the world are in european countries, such as france and italy. He said that this is because of the laws that these countries have that force businesses to put into practice certain standards regarding vacation time, wage, maternity leave, etc. Now, the ethical implications of this are obvious to anyone who values the concepts of personal liberty and property right, but unfortunately not everyone understands these concepts right away. My question for gard is, how do we go even further than the ethical implications and point the practical economic issues to my friend?

Couldn't find it anywhere through the site, or while listening.  Gard when you see this please send me an email at jamesbutabi@yahoo.com.

Before I get into my question, I just wanted to say thanks for putting out yet another great series.  I started listening to the Conspiracy back in August when I first heard about it on FTL (which I also started listening to in August).  I finally joined the Cabal a couple days ago.  Three dollars a month for a great podcast is well worth it IMO.  Thanks!

I was just wondering why Gard hasn't posted any audios from the liberty line in the past two weeks?

Is there a problem with it techy wise?

Gard, I've heard you mention that you and your niece are fans of anime and manga but what are your thoughts on the series and the character of Black Jack? 

A little while ago I watched one of Dave Ridley's videos and started reading the comments as I can't seem to help myself. Scrolling through I noticed someone say that without "law" there is no such thing as "justice". This argument bugged me, because justice is obviously defined broader and the supposed purpose of law is to provide justice. Then he states that justice cannot be defined outside of law as a moral concept because morality is subjective. This person, his handle is p00lman, happens to be a common poster on Dave's videos so I've read his comments before and he is obviously a complete relativist and has no objective principles. The argument continues among the posters until it breaks down to childish lashes.

Dear conpirators and fellow cabal members:

Please consider following this list I have created, which lists conspirators and cabal members known unto me.  

Here is the URL of the list for you to follow.  I will add you to this list if you follow it.

My wife came across this charity called Heifer.org.  The group provides the poor with various types of livestock, teaches sustainable agricultural techniques, etc.  Does anyone know anything about them?  I'm a little worried because their website talks about "gender equality" and taking care of the earth...socialist buzzwords.  However, it says that "gender equality" refers to encouraging womens' participation in decisions, education, etc.  Anyway, I like the concept--it's like teaching someone to fish instead of giving them fish, but don't want to give a donation to a group whose real purpose is furthering a socialist agenda as so many charities do nowadays.

Thanks.

Gard dude its been almost six months since we first talked about it & so I'm just wondering if we are going to get around to it.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm nagging but its just I've been busting to do it for ages so I thought I should remind you.

I've heard some really cool music at the beginning and ends of the podcasts.

I wonder if you could let us know what band and song it is somewhere in the forum or main page.

I'm always on the hunt for new tunes.

Gard, I have a question for you.  Is the Liberty Conspiracy a labor of love?  I am more than willing to join up but I need to know that my donations are only going to be used to keep the project afloat and hopefully expand it.  Is it a hobby or a money making enterprise?  I once read a post by Ian of FTL that the point of the show is to make money for him.  Even though I'm a laissez-faire capitalist, this rubbed me the wrong way.  If one is going to market their radio show as a commercial enterprise, they should not be asking for donations.  For those of you who think I am contradicting myself, I'm not.  Economics is not about money, it about "psychic income", to use Rothbard's phrase.  For me, I place a higher value on some things over money

Dear Gard:

Please post a picture of the new microphonage.
