I would just like to take a moment to clarify something since there seem to be a lot of different interpretations of what I mean when I poke fun at “minarchists”.
When I use the term “minarchism”, I’m referring to an individual belief system, someone who believes a small government is necessary, and perhaps evil. A minarchist believes that government has a role in protecting life, liberty, and property. By itself, that wouldn’t be worthy of ridicule, but where it falls apart is when they insist that it must be an authoritarian monopoly on violence, i.e. that it must exert a supreme authority over a certain geographic region and individuals cannot choose to act apart from it. By its very nature, such a thing will never protect life, liberty, and property. Such a thing is inherently contradictory to such values. If, on the other hand, you can let go of the idea of it being a monopoly, then it is subject to the controls of the free market and regains the accountability that’s essential for it to ever do more good than harm.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute has selected a moderate Republican, Lee Doren, as the new Crasher-in-Chief of Bureaucrash. The ongoing miniseries about the new direction of Bureaucrash in a not so bureaucracy-crashing direction continues. Sorry for the delay. My life is going in a good direction but is in a transition phase right now that makes things very hectic.
Stay tuned for the third, and probably final episode in this series! Bring personal lubricant for your own safety.

Today’s comic is a continuation of The Prankster, so read that first if you haven’t yet. If I’ve offended any minarchists, then I apologize… for your inability to experience cognitive dissonance.

Front Page. Feature Article.
That’s what we got for our incident 53 hours ago. But if that’s all we get, we have failed badly. The people of this city spent 2 weeks talking about a yellow building downtown. Do not let them forget April 13, and why it happened. It happened not because of a group of people wanting to provoke the giant. It happened because a bunch of people that don’t understand their own rules are making them up and handcuffing people. Lance of the court does not even know what the order on that wall means, and he is having people arrested because of it.
Did 5 people get arrested for nothing?
Is Sam suffering for nothing?
Sometimes I wonder… are we risking our futures for nothing?
Make sure the community continues to hear about this. Call Dan Mitchel’s morning show. I know you will call Talkback. E-mail Anika at the Sentinel (aclark@keenesentinel.com) and thank her for her bravery in covering this, as well as giving her updates about Sam. Videotape yourself talking to a camera and submit it to Cheshire TV! No joke; if that’s all you can do, do it.
