I'm interested in the conspirators' views on foreign policy - ie: military action.

It comes after reading an essay from Gard's wonderful 'Live Free Or Die' - 'Doing good means doing nothing'. I may have been reading the essay wrong, but it seems to somewhat mitigate Bush's initial attack on Afghanistan post 9/11. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that, El Grande! :)

Do any of the conspirators think there is ever a just war to fight?

Was Bush right to take the 'fight' to Afghanistan after 9/11?

My stance on war is pretty simple:- there is never a just war, and any invasion of another shore (by a government) is immoral.

I thought I'd start a thread to share with El Grande (and the Cabal podcasters) what we would welcome as topics for future pods.

I would be interested in the particular topic of 'crime and punishment.'

It's the one thing that separates the small government libertarians from us market anarchists. However, whenever someone asks for alternatives to a justice system, I must admit to being a little hazy on the details... I have general ideas (ie: reputation/ exclusion) but would enjoy the perspectives of others on the topic.

If anyone could recommend some reading on this topic, I'd also be most grateful.   

Great podcast Gard.......

It answered a lot of questions I had about health care.  Where the mess all started for instance.  Not a lot of books on that I know of.  Do you have any you could share on the subject.

Also the music was great on the podcast.  Never heard them before, who was that?

Hey guys!  I believe I successfully donated yesterday.  However, I was wondering if there was an e-mail confirmation or *something* that would tell me this actually went through?  Because if there was, I missed that/haven't gotten it.  Anyway, thanks for your time! =)

Is the Essay being discussed on the last few (up to 6/10) pod casts available?  I would like to send the Link to it around to the local hoodlums.

Thanks

GH

Hey Gard, thanks for the shout out to ROCHESTER!!!! How many of us are there? I must find these people in the physical geographical reality that surrounds me.

Yo I just threw up my first blog post, could you read it into a podcast? Perhaps you could add your ideas, leave a comment at the original location, etc.

That would be GREAT!!!

Thanks Gard,

Andrew from ROCHESTER

I enjoyed the recent podcast about Star Trek's monetary system, or lack thereof.

Just a few points - I'm a lapsed Trek geek, so people who still follow it closely can correct my errors.

I've heard a couple of times on FTL that the Liberty Conspiracy has more downloads than FTL does.

I have a few ideas to improve upon that even:

Put Liberty Conspiracy in the itunes directory.   You're not there.  I've search many ways.  Lots of people search "liberty" in itunes to find things to listen to. They're not finding Gardner in there.

Also, Use evry episode to ask for votes on podcast alley.  You can totally toast FTL...not that you'd TRY to do that, but if you're in the top 10, you'll get more growth.  It works for everyone on the top ten....which is why I think the same people stay at the top ten.

Having seen your talk about the Firefly series (on YouTube) and finding out that you wrote for Star Trek, I'm curious as to what your thoughts are about the politics of Star Trek and the recent Galactica series. Have you ever done a podcast on this topic?

BTW, I love Paper Planes!

Hey, this isn't exactly a question for you. It is a music reccomendation for the podcast. I wasn't sure if you would check the music thread, though. Anyway the two liberty-minded music groups I have to reccomend are Clarity (NY): http://www.purevolume.com/clarityny and East Coast Avengers: http://profile.myspace.com/eastcoastavengers Also, KRS-One has many good liberty-minded stuff (check out his songs: "Who Are the Pimps?" and "Sound of da Police" and many more).

How would one get in touch with Gardner himself?

I don't get it. This guy lead a movement to get equal rights in government schools but now schools close on his day?
