I don’t believe in the legitimacy of “driver’s licenses“, but I have been helping someone, at their request, try to obtain one. For “pragmatic” reasons. Therefore my patience with the nonsense is a bit thin already.

Identity and Anarchy, Part 1
What I’ve been thinking a lot of about lately is this concept of identity. And I’ve got like… a dozen half-written posts trying to explore my own thoughts, and figure out exactly how I want to present what I’m effectively trying to say. Maybe they’ll get finished, but maybe they won’t. I don’t know. But maybe I can attempt here to at least cut to the chase.
Two More Success Stories – Dismissals in California and Tennessee
Two success stories today, complaints dismissed in California and Tennessee. Congrats to Elliot and Shermaine and thanks for sending me the documentary proof.
American Radical Fundamentalism
Some people actually want the US government to perpetrate more war, destruction, and death around the globe. They’re convinced that if the correct people can be killed, injured, and maimed, peace will be the result. Could anything be more ludicrous?
The Debate Over Taxation Cannot Be Value-Free

Almost everyone is decent enough to hate those sorts of evil things when done on a freelance basis.
The Magic of Being Held By the World
You are reading an article written for you by me, sent across the Internet thanks to the work of thousands and thousands of engineers and power workers and workers in computer factories, using a computer device produced by thousands of people around the world.
War, and Those Who Make It
What is it with people glorifying war and those whom governments use to make war? War isn’t manly, heroic, or honorable. It is childish. Allowing a government to send you to someone else’s territory to make war is stupid.
A Summary of My Worldview
Don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff. If you do, make it right. If you refuse, don’t be surprised when people want nothing to do with you.
Outnumbered and Surrounded
Concerning “immigration,” no, I don’t want to be outnumbered and surrounded by people who feel entitled to violate my life, liberty, and property. But… I already am whether there are immigrants or not, just because almost everyone is statist, and that is the defining characteristic of statists.
