I think too many people misunderstand libertarians. It’s not about blindly worshipping Ron Paul or any other libertarian thinker. For me, it’s about the absence of coercion. I am a libertarian because I value my freedom and yours. I want for each of you to have the liberty to pursue your goals, create your future, mold your life around what you enjoy doing without the limitations of...

What If Democracy Is Bunk? →
typical-prototype:
I haven’t looked at those links- I’m already procrastinating enough- but the funny thing is, I actually agree with a lot of that post (the sections you’ve put here-I just clicked and saw there is more of this and it is by Andrew Napolitano but I spared myself the general fanboying over Ron Paul!), just not the parts where it makes out that all of this bad stuff is purely...
What If Democracy Is Bunk? →
What if you are only allowed to vote because it doesn’t make a difference? What if no matter how you vote, the elites get to have it their way?

Angry Scottish People Saying Real Words Maybe
One thing’s for sure: they’re making noises with their mouths.

Sounds like a standard conversation to be heard walking down Ayr high street.
I does legitimately offend me to my core that I understand all of that, though. I’m sorry, England. Ah, the days...

In Switzerland, cantonal governments close to voters set their own tax policies. The resulting competition between the more than two dozen cantons fosters a business-friendly environment of low taxes, minimal government interference, and widespread prosperity. That is one important reason why international businesses flock to Switzerland in droves. The Swiss model works so well that even as the...

Congratulations, Glasgow Film Festival
Not only are you screening Bob and the Monster, you’re also screening Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone! Two great looking documentaries on 80s funk-punk music, lots of drug use, and RHCP cameos. I approve of your existence.
Hopefully I have the time to check them both out, along with many other films during the Festival! No way can I repeat my 12 (I think) films from last year, but...

Red (Dominance); Decisive, independent, results driven, goal orientated, competitive, high self esteem. Authoritative, narrow minded, easily frustrated,...
