"Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do." ~ domestic enemy and terrorist, NYC's Rudolph Giuliani, March 1994
If you let the bad guys define your terms, you have lost.
They will always define words to put themselves on top. To make you do what they want.
They want you to believe anarchy is chaos and destruction, rather than self-ownership, personal responsibility, and voluntary interaction.
They want you to believe "liberty" means a government-granted privilege, rather than
unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.
They'll always define cops as the good guys, standing between you and horrible death- when
cops are actually the worst gang out there, more likely to deliver
your horrible death than any other evil gang.
They believe in silly things like "
authority" and States and "
laws". They worship flags and documents and people who do evil deeds for them.
And way too many people still listen to them and act as though they are the reasonable ones. They aren't. They are insane, ignorant, or evil. Or any combination of the three.
But, I know from personal experience some can be reached, in spite of the protests of those who don't believe they can. It has happened. Most of us were once statists, to one degree or another. If we got over it, so can others.

If you get any value from my writing, consider rewarding me with your financial support commensurate with the value you receive. This blog is in its 10th year now. If you believe I have contributed anything to the conversation regarding liberty during these ten years, and believe I have more to contribute, help me keep writing without the fear of saying something to get fired over. I really, desperately could use some more help; please don't depend on the same people always helping out.
