If you know you’re going to have to be an outlaw all your life to get as close as possible to living in liberty, it removes a lot of the hesitation about breaking “laws“.

Legislative Damage Takes Time to Undo
Why are legislative messes so quick to be made but so slow to be removed once in place? After they are shown to move society further from the goal used to justify them, they should be immediately reversed.
How Things (Fail To) Work
It seems many– if not most— people have hypotheses of How Things Work that depend on everyone being evil idiots… except when they have political power. In that case, they are necessary and society can’t function without them. Mmhmm. Sure.
You’re Only Responsible for Yourself

And So, I Began To “Carry”
Because I care about you, I want you to be armed at all times. Just in case. That’s the loving, civilized position to adopt with regard to my fellow human beings.
