There are two basic versions of the Golden Rule, with a bunch of variations found in virtually every major religion in the world. It is so common it prolly predates religion and written language.
1. Don’t do to others, as you don’t want done to you. (Negative version)
2. Treat others as you want to be treated. (Positive version)

There is a good reason why people in the liberty movement will frequently advocate for the privatization of protection services: Accountability.
I just found an article online about a King County, Washington Sheriffs Deputy who uses force six times more frequently than other officers. Because of this animal and his proclivity for violence, he recently caused severe brain and spinal injury to a man which resulted in the –> taxpayers <– footing the bill for a $10,000,000 payout.
Think it will be the last person seriously injured by this menace? Fat chance.
Even after one of Seattle’s biggest news media sources investigated and slams the Sheriffs Department and their thug: nothing. happens. to. either. of. them. “I can’t turn around and fire a deputy because we have concerns” said the Sheriff.
Can you imagine if this piece of garbage had to actually be accountable for his actions?
At the very minimum there would be a man who would have the use of his legs.
It looks like a town in Maine has sent a big middle finger to Augusta and Washington D.C.
Sedgwick, Maine has done what no other town in the United States has done. The town unanimously passed an ordinance giving its citizens the right “to produce, process, sell, purchase, and consume local food. of their choosing.” This includes raw milk, locally slaughtered meats, and just about anything else you can imagine. It’s also a decided bucking of state and federal laws…
It’s all up to the seller and buyer to negotiate.
Such a novel idea.

The Keene Sentinel’s photographer Steve Hooper was at yesterday’s Free Keene Fest and this photo of his was published in today’s paper, with the following caption:
Jason Talley, left, of Grafton, talks with Jim Johnson of Winchester, who operates the “Answer Wheel” at the Free Keene Fest event on Railroad Square Sunday afternoon. Free Keene members, self-described liberty activists, put on the yard sale along with entertainment, as well as distributing informational fliers about their philosophy.
Interestingly, Free Keene Fest was described as a “yard sale”. I’m not sure if that is better or worse than “flea market”…
Here a Keene police officer is downright rude to local liberty activist and videographer Nick Ryder as he attempts to investigate KPD’s activities:
