The Libertists

Recently a man was seen sitting with his very young son while a reporter was prodding the boy with a microphone.  The boy kept saying things like: "They want to kill us", "they will kill us", "they have guns" The father kept saying things like: "but we don't have to worry, because, look around, we have flowers. Look at all these flowers and candles." Obviously the argument the father was putting forward was that love somehow conquers all and even if the enemy of love outguns, outnumbers, and out maneuvers love, it will somehow survive...even if there is no one left on its side.  Of course, once the enemies of love defeat it, there is nothing left to defeat so most likely they would become the thing they hate... welcome to nature. I digress. As all of you know, I boil everything down to philosophy. If the argument the father is putting forward is Hegelian in nature and thus, follows upward politically to Engels view on social ...

I've been quiet on the incident where a student was beat in a classroom by an official officer of the State, because I needed to find a way to express the real issue here. To me it is not about the necessity of violence to get someone's child to comply. To me it is about the nature of individual freedom. The real question is: Does the State own the authority to force a child to be in that seat? Anyone that has read my book or posts here realize of course that no other person can morally or ethical take that responsibility from another person. It is a physical impossibility for one person to give another the authority to tell them what to do. The only method one person can use to gain this authority is by threat of violence and the willingness of the intended victim to comply. That said, for the sake of this argument, let us assume that the State does possess the authority to force people to do things, like say, get an education. Well, that's not exactly true eithe...

The problem with discussing taxation is that we are discussing incomes, that is money. Money holds an almost mystic definition and thus, an elusive methodology of determining its worth. People do not value money by the same measurement. They make the incredibly false determination about it not based on rational intellect but on the succubus of emotionalism.  Idiots like Bernie Sanders believe that those whom make the most should pay the most. Normally I don't like to sound angry, but frankly, idiot is the only appropriate word to describe such illogical nonsense. He does not understand the basic Economy of Liberty, let alone the construction of value of the First Estate. The fact is that every single one of us is limited to the amount of time we will have to work with on this planet. This time is in fact our only real commodity, and money is merely a tool by which we reflect the time we have spent. The socialist that has the idea that you...

The argument of a license is that the license is evidence of proficiency. Yet, the notion itself, is self-defeating, for, in order to earn the license, the individual must, in fact, already be proficient.  The so-called driver's license is the best of the #cowardsgamble examples. For, the argument those that demand licensing be required use is the context of 'fear' of non-proficient drivers flooding the streets and causing chaos. Yet, every single one of us at 15 years old was an unlicensed driver, learning to drive.  We, by the Ethical necessity of advancing and bettering our lives, had to master this skill before we had a chance to take the test for the driver's license. It was our mastering the skill that mattered, the State's opinion of this by printing out a shiny little object one can carry in the wallet is secondary. The act of driving and transporting oneself and their property was the primary Ethical requirement of the individual: In order for the indi...

©2015 KLD On November 22nd 2014 I took my vehicle to a STAR smog station. Every two years in California you have to, by government regulations, verify that the vehicle you own is not polluting more than the government limit. My vehicle, my property, was inspected, prodded, and generally treated like a sick patient. It was put on a set of rollers, where the engine was revved. At the end of this intrusion and devaluation of my property by the state, I was told that my vehicle passed the arbitrary test. I paid, was given a physical receipt and left, with the knowledge that the DMV would receive an electronic copy of my verified certification of passing from the STAR smog station. The next day I used the DMV website and paid my registration. The screen warned me that my smog cert was still due and it instructed me to be patient. It could take up to a week for the electronic certification to arrive at their door, apparently.  December arrived and like most people I was busy wi...

Recently a very high profile news story has appeared about a woman who, from the story, has terminal cancer.  With this knowledge, she has decided that she wants to end her life (possibly by the time I finish this she might have already taken the final moment). Of course, this brought up all the usual questions about morality and what we're teaching the children about the nature of the universe and thus life.  But not one person, through the clatter has asked the most basic question there is: Who owns that body? There are three possible solutions: 1. God owns it 2. The State owns it 3. The Individual Owns it. Only one of them makes any real sense. Let us look at the details of all three: Does God Own The Body? All the religions of the world that currently hold the major sway in philosophy would basically echo the Augustinian view.  Saint Augustine (I only use the word Saint here for clarity not as a consideration of truth.  He was actually Augustine o...

I sent in my absentee ballot last week and they included a nice little sticker to indicate that I voted. The comedy: I didn't vote for a single person on the ballot. Sure, I applied a no to any field where the state allowed me to vote for new laws and didn't simply write these new rules themselves.  But as for the so-called leaders, I disagree with all of them.  I disagree at the core level of their beliefs: their philosophies of nature, their views of intellect, their concepts of ethics.  California doesn't allow for write-in candidates, or at least, there was no field for me to write anything in, so I was stuck in a quandary.  Do I even send in the ballot?  After all, my choice was to say all the current political views being forced on me are absent decency and logic.  They suffer from such things as other world super naturalism, egalitarianism, socialism, nominalistic views, and a host of other outright insane concepts based ...
