What should be the qualities of water? How should DNA be built? How should snowflakes be designed? Who should be in charge of flocks of birds or schools of fish?

Turning Your Back on Your Supporters
My support ends here. Sorry, Chelsea Manning, you’ve stabbed an awful lot of your supporters in the back with this move.
I’m Offensive, Not Offended
I recently attended a social event. I know– I can hardly believe it myself. But I had a lot of fun. One of the activities was a game of Cards Against Humanity. Before the game started, someone was concerned about me, asking if I’m easily offended.
#NotMe
Have I been victimized? Of course. Sometimes, badly. But I moved on. I don’t dwell on it, and I absolutely refuse to get any part of my identity from it. To want to revel in past victimization is a serious weakness of character, if you ask me!
Triggered into Statism
I see so many people who develop a big “but” after years of seemingly advocating liberty– until one thing comes up. For some it is some sort of sex; for some it’s “borders”; others find a different trigger.
Them Furriners
Those who focus on, or obsess over, “immigrants” without making the distinction between people who archate and those who don’t, regardless of where they were born, are harming liberty. Badly!
What Kind of Hole?
Yes, there really are “s#!thole countries”. Living under those conditions– created almost exclusively by States— can definitely have a negative effect on the ethics and intelligence of the population (but that has zero to do with the rights the people there have). Government has consequences.
Ignoring Bad Questions
Many times I see people ask questions which only demonstrate they have no clue what they are even talking about; they don’t even understand well enough to know what to ask. Not only about liberty, but regarding science and other things I actually know a little about.
The State: Bad “Government”
“Government” has two aspects, one positive, the other negative. The positive aspect is protection of the individual, through protection of their rights. The negative aspect is the State.
Statists’ Intentions
The statist truly wants to “help” and is clueless about how to do so, and they decide that theft and aggression (wielded in just the right way, by just the right people) are the way to help. Yes, it’s a ridiculous belief, but it is sincere.
