Tbh I hadn't heard of them before. Thanks, I will add it to my humor bookmarks. In regards to the video in question, he needs to stick to comedy, as blackmail is not a solution to the problem. :) He shares the pain of millions and to the facts of the grievance he is correct.

Lawful/legal insurrection (vote the bastards out and dismantle the apparatus (plural) of tyranny with vigorous application of law, discipline, and punishment for their deprivation of the rightful life, liberty, and property of each and every natural human being and their person that they have harmed with their self-deluded aggrandizement and the hellish unintended consequences of their supposed good intentions) is preferable. Incremental denial of person/personhood (death by ten thousand pricks) is more insidiously malevolent than whole scale denying an individual the right to his person. At least with the latter there is no occultation of perspicuity as to the nature of the enslavement.

Apologies for ranting--I just awoke and have not had navy strong coffee or any breakfast.

Great news! The WWE star Kane is running for mayor of Knox County, Tennessee with the Republican Party. I don't know the slightest thing about wrestling, but if you look at his Wiki he's a hardcore libertarian and former Ron Paul supporter. He's been a guest of Tom Woods and the Mises Institute, and has said that he's "theoretically Rothbardian". Nice!

Found out the other day that the Jews of Israel have accepted FIVE peace settlements since 1937, most of which would have given the Arabs over 90% of their requested land. The Arabs rejected each offer, often responding with violence. SAD!

If elected I hope he is able to rely consistently on the principles of Liberty and form a strong support base. The kid in me wants to see him run for office in only his mask and tights and challenge the contenders in a closed cage match.

Unfortunately, Islam will not be placated until Israel is driven into the sea, and every non-Muslim converts or pays the jizya (a 40% subjugation tax).

An uncle read it to me when I was child (with all his Goldwater Republican and John Birch Society commentary). I read it for the first time in the 5th grade (1973 iirc) and again in High School.

It reads well (1950s authors). It was written before Vatican II and garnered no small criticism from RCs which is now viewed more favorably. It has a clear minded cynicism that is lacking with the cynicism of our dumbed-down Post Cultural Revolution era. The motives of the characters are solidly agnostic Christian Humanist (magnitudes more palpable than Gene Rodenberry's however) and more pragmatic than existential although it does try for a sense of Objective Realism. It takes some assumptions of the failed sociological theories from the 50s of that socialist Brookings Institute a bit far, but makes up for it with an epic story. If you liked Babylon 5's theme, characterization and storyline you will probably like Canticle.

North Korea is a very sad little region. There is no help for these kind of people, they are hopelessly delusioned by the sirens song of socialism and believe the only solution to their problems is the iron fist of the state.

I'm convinced that not only are these poor souls burying their heads firmly in the sand, but their motivations come primarily from hatred. Hatred of the successful, hatred of the west, hatred of freedom, hatred of white people, hatred of the rich. Hatred is blinding, which is why they're so dismissive when anyone presents them evidence that capitalism is the greatest system in terms of ethics, morality and human progress. They don't want to believe it so they never will. Here's a particularly shocking quote from one of their residents, all but admitting that in socialist countries, everyone is equally poor.

I read an article today that 70% of the DPRK's population is fed by the government distribution system (the other 30% by unofficial, semi legal markets) and this amounts to 600 calories per day, per Korean. Sure it's not a lot but there's people in the richest capitalist nations who don't eat for days, many children starve and die in capitalist India for example.

Is this evil or just stupid? I think the latter. According to the Fraser Institute, the average income of the bottom fifth of society in economically free countries is higher than the average income of almost every other nation on Earth! How can one reject such damning evidence against central planning? And the comparison to India is especially asinine, because for one it's a mixed market economy that has only had market mechanisms in the past 25 years. During this time, almost a billion people have come out of poverty, many going into India's burgeoning middle class. What economic system did India have before its poverty rate began to fall? Surprise surprise, socialism!

The only socialist nation that worked for any significant period of time was Venezuela when they had oil. Now... things aren't so pretty.

If they want to talk about starving, does this not also count as starving? It's way the hell less than you can operate on for a full day. Sure, it's something, but it's nowhere near what you actually need.

Look, the Freedom Caucus believe in all the right things, but at the end of the day they sabotaged the repeal of Obamacare, blunting the momentum for further legislative efforts such as tax reform. The bill wasn't perfect but it was good enough to get out of the gate, and hell if the HFC didn't like it that much Ryan should've left the possibility for further amendments after its passage. Now, because of their petulant tantrums, Obamacare is here to stay, maybe ever.

That can be turned around just as easily. The White House could have started off with a bill that wasn't a humongous corporate welfare giveaway with no funding mechanism, it's not like Rand Paul's criticisms (no tax credits for low-income Americans, no funding mechanism) took pain-staking research to come up with. Instead, the White House is throwing a tantrum and declaring war on the libertarian wing of the Republican Party because their bad bill was criticized for being a bad bill.

I was a bad bill. 17% of the people (Dems and Reps) rejected it. Libertarian, Conservative, and even many Moderate Republicans rejected it. I see it as an three fold attack against the disestablishmentarian momentum--

1. to pay off special interest supporters (eg, insurance industry) in spite of the clear signal by 1/2 the country to stop the collusion and corruption ,

2. to derail Trump's populism, and

3. to defame what few Liberty loving Constitutionalists (including Libertarians) remain in the GOP.

Health care works best when it is free to utilize open markets; when extending community driven charity as its safety net; and when it remains unlawful to profit off of the pain and suffering of a fellow human being-- a form of fraud and coercion from a social contract perspective.

By profit it is not meant criminalize the profit motive within the individual professions of medicine. Market forces work best for adjusting to the best care for the most reasonable cost. It is meant the speculation of profit off of the pain and suffering of others as a means of livelihood by those not practicing medicine.

Also, what faction should we back for the nuclear war?

My favorite rendition of "The Final Countdown." We use it on road trips to let the crew know that it is about time to go. Just turn it up so the whole rest area or roadside convenience store can here it; and then be on our way. :)

I actually told this story before - a few years ago - but I actually got here when Snabagag was WAD, back even before they were called President.

I was Board Chairman back when the Board was an appointed position, and then I CTE'd and didn't come back until your presidency.

I don't know if I picked up much cynicism when I read through it, although I suppose some characters do harm themselves from being too idealistic. I enjoyed the cyclical style of story telling, myself, though I felt like the anti-assisted suicide section of the last novella was weak. That being said, it was the best book I have read in a long while.

By clear headed cynicism I meant philosophical cynacism-- satisfaction and meaning to be found in hard work and ethical living (by nature and virtue), and enjoying the simple pleasures of life with a deep aversion of overly complicating things (and a general rejection of overly complicated things because if anything can go wrong it will). :)

To be honest, this was mostly, if not entirely my fault. Let's start from the beginning:

>Hyderbourg was assasinated by one of TI's operatives

>I tried fighting back by hitting a few, then the fight began

>We worked to hold them off

That was how my blunder killed us all.
