I forgive you. You probably never realized, perhaps until now, that government hurts people. I do not know you, but from listening to what you’ve said on the radio and reading about you on the Internet, I imagine that like many people, you believe that government is a handy tool you can use to make life better for people. While your intentions may be pure, the method is not. Government is force. Were you oblivious to that fact? After all, you are one of the people calling themselves part of the “City of Keene”, so whether you knew or not, that’s the tool you advocate. I’m guessing you didn’t know, as you did say on 08/09/08’s “Talkback”:
“I wouldn’t advise aggressing against anybody.”
I really appreciated when you said that! I think people working together voluntarily is a great thing. However, threatening people with violence is not a nice way to build a community with mutual respect. Based on your statement on Talkback, I thought you understood that. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was you who snitched me out to the “code enforcers” over my tenants’ couch. You said you wouldn’t advise aggressing against your neighbor, then the very same week you initiated aggression against me! (more…)
The setting is a bustling town– not quite a city, but endowed with the pleasures that one could usually find in a metropolis. It has its ups, its downs, but overall, everyone seems to be at least just a bit content with the general atmosphere.
Enter the bandits– violent and vicious sonsabitches, who have at their disposal a corrupt and conniving government pocketed, whether it be by a cut of the profits they get in their vile activities or simply out of fear for them. They roam about, wrecking homesteads, threatening violence, destroying property, getting their rocks off by toying with people who are otherwise incapable of defending themselves for fear of even harsher retribution. The townspeople are entirely capable of ridding themselves of this scourge, yet they still fear what may happen should they voice their sentiments, or -heaven forbid- act upon them.
Cue our hero, a regular kinda gentleman rancher who in standing up for himself and his homestead, is instead driven to the brink and cornered by these bandits. The corrupt and crony lawmen and magistrate back them all the way, or at least don’t do anything to help. Knowing full well the deck is stacked against him, he still makes his stand, because by golly and god as his witness, these men are in the wrong.

The brilliant John Stossel takes some powerful pro-liberty ideas and delivers them effectively to a wide audience. Here’s his latest 1 hour special, the “Politically Incorrect Guide to Politics”. This is a great video to show anyone still “in the system” and new to liberty. Stossel makes it crystal clear that government doesn’t work and that it creates devastating unintended consequences:
