Despite NHES general counsel Maria Deltario, and the main witness, Chris Leones, admitting there was no evidence against their target, they allowed the matter to escalate and we requested a hearing, Greg Ives was the hearing officer. His dishonesty is easy to present, it consists primarily of a contradiction, a contradiction that set the stage for the destruction of a peaceful business.

The American Way of War
Contrary to popular misconception, the war state did not begin in 1945. From the start, war was an acceptable means to national policy ends, whether to open markets or to install friendly regimes. It’s a gross understatement to call this record shameful.
Cheating by Changing the Rules Mid-Game
If you’re OK with government doing this to some people, who do you expect to come to your defense if (or when) government decides to do it to you?
Self-Governance, Rationality, and Secession
Contemplation is a form of internal emigration or mental secession, and every contemplative knows how valuable it can be for the life of the mind. Libertarian secession – a striving for full sovereignty over one’s private property and the physical space delimited by it – is a natural extension of the contemplative impulse from the realm of pure throught to the realm of action.

An ordinary person is so afraid to define himself that he stumbles accidentally into whatever social function resists him the least. Never going too far in any direction provides safe barriers for him to avoid injury, but they also nullify all forms of heroic action. He spends his entire life chasing a dream that a collection of voices planted in his head many years ago, only to die never having lived at all.
There is a Reason Why You Began
You need to own your motivations if you are ever going to break out of your ordinary routines and aspire to something more. It is the only way you will have the will to try, to tread onward when things go wrong.
Spanking Kids is a Result of Your Pain, Not Their Behavior.
For an adult who wasn’t taught to identify their emotions and own them as their own, spanking or swatting is, unfortunately, the easiest way to respond to a child who has triggered us. We are literally being exactly like a child when we hit. We are in our child minds because we were not taught a better way.
Remember Why You Act
Though daunting as it may be, accept that you will never flawlessly live up to your own standards. No one is perfect in their actions. The heroic person is willing to try, without end, despite falling short of his ideals.
