Stephan Kinsella posted this article, Legislation and Law in a Free Society, last week at the Mises Institute. In the article, he discusses the idea of the need for decentralizing law and judges, which would correct the errors inherent in our system of legislated law. ….there is much more certainty in a decentralized legal system [...]

This morning, NPR’s Scott Simon interviewed some dude with the U.S. Geological Survey on the Chile earthquake. I think the dude has a case of Ronald Reaganitis, because he keeps answering every question with, “Well,…” (Am I the only one who remembers that about Ronald Reagan? Was it that long ago?) Let’s listen:

William Norman  Grigg: Sheep-Shearing Season on the Revenue Ranch First, government – unlike private entities that offer goods or services in exchange for revenue – engages in pure consumption. As a result, all sources of government revenue involve destruction of wealth, rather than mutually beneficial commerce that enhances both parties. Second, everything government does to [...]

I listened to the radio talk shows just a little today, and they’re already getting me going. Michael Graham was discussing the killer whale who killed a Sea World worker. Apparently, this particular whale already killed another person in 1999! If that’s the case, then the family of the whale’s victim definitely has a law [...]

Last night on his radio show, Michael Savage referred to newly elected (and won’t be reelected) U.S. Senator Scott Brown as “Benedict Brown,” because Brown voted with Democrats to end the Republican filibuster on the so-called “jobs bill.” I will not say, “I told you so,” however. We’ll let Tammy Bruce do that for me. [...]

Here is Karen de Coster in a post at the Lew Rockwell blog yesterday, on the Big Pharma-Big Government Complex: ….the pharmaceutical companies, once upon a time, had a semi-honorable quest to cure diseases and improve the quality of life for the very ill. That all went away with the proliferation of the almighty state [...]

I have discovered that Willard Romney is now promoting a new book. (I wonder who wrote it for him.) Several people have speculated that it’s more of a campaign outline than an autobiography or something actually worth reading. His book tour schedule is much like that of being on the campaign trail. It is of [...]

The previous post linked to Will Grigg’s piece this weekend at LewRockwell.com, regarding Interposition and nullification. The endeavor that needs to be achieved is the nullification (and repeal) of all gun control laws, by people who believe in the sanctity of the individual’s God-given right to bear arms and right of self-defense. The story of [...]

Will Grigg: Who’s Afraid of ‘Interposition’? …..In terms of both morality and the law, Boggett’s refusal to sell or surrender his horse ended the matter. The violence that ensued was an entirely credible dramatization of what happens when agents of the state’s killing apparatus refuse to take “no” as the final answer to a demand [...]

The article, Revisionism and the Historical Blackout by Harry Elmer Barnes appeared this week on the Mises Institute website. The article is excerpted from Barnes’s book, Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace, written in 1953. Barnes discusses how historical revisionism was required to bring forth the actual facts of the causes leading to World War I, [...]

So far, there hasn’t been very much “change” since President Obama invaded the White House a year ago. It’s more of the same, more stimuli, more bailouts and clunkers, more spending and waste, fraud, cheating and stealing, and more counter-productive expansionist war policies. Bush III and no “change.” Perhaps the “change” Obama was talking about [...]

The recent smear of Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina by talk  host Glenn Beck is now of no surprise to me, and is really part of the whole picture that includes the recent election of statist-socialist-fascist career politician Scott Brown to the United States Senate. As Beck did his hatchet job on the only [...]
