The moment a person intentionally stops traffic and it is not an emergency scenario, they are detaining/kidnapping you and confiscating your property, at least for the time being.

Anti-Drug Hypocrites
Nothing is as hypocritical as a cop smoking tobacco by the front door of the police station. Unless it’s a smoker or drinker who isn’t a cop yet still supports the War on Politically Incorrect Drugs.
Cops I Have Known
I feel bad for the good people I have known who became cops. I know some of them had the best of intentions. Yes, some saw the pay and the “authority” as tempting bait, but even those managed to convince themselves this was a way they could do good while collecting rewards. Maybe they were even still good people as long as they were off the clock, but no one can be good while being a cop. Not anyone.
The Malevolence of The Right
As a libertarian, I consider myself outside of the “political spectrum” of left versus right. That said, if I must partner with either a liberal whose greatest sin is his willingness to steal money for humanitarian endeavors or a conservative who gleefully calls for the kidnapping and caging of peaceful people because they grow plants or ingest chemicals of which he does not approve, I will choose the liberal.
The USA—Best Not to Go There Unless You Have an Urgent Reason to Do So
The USA is simply not a welcoming place. It is a police state, and a hostile one at that. It makes virtually no attempt to distinguish potentially threatening people from ordinary people who, to anyone with a trace of brain, obviously pose no threat to national security or the personal well-being of current U.S. residents. So, be smart, amigos: don’t go there unless your have a very important reason to do so.
3 for 3! Scar Gets Another Ticket Kicked Out in Tucson
A big congrats to Scar for getting a third complaint kicked out in Tucson, Arizona. And thanks for the documentary proof below. Scar also discusses this in great detail on the forum.
Question Authority
Ultimately, the questioning of authority is not only a good thing. It is a necessary thing. It is the backbone of freedom. Cherish the right to protest. Cherish the right to be different. Cherish the right to question authority.
Authority and Morality
The decisions people make and the directions that people go in may in the end not serve them or lead to the kind of results that they want, but that is for each person to discover on their own. Advice can be given, suggestions can be made, but ultimately each person must walk their own path themselves. To try to play games of authority is to attempt to ignore all of this.
#DrainTheTSA
Can we #DrainTheTSA? I write in response to an article about a $100 million cocaine ring, which included at least two TSA agents.
How Econ Textbooks Sanitize the Horrors of Communism
When I was first learning economics, I was surprised by how pro-communist many economics textbooks were. I don’t mean, of course, that any economics textbook ever said, “Communism is good.” What I mean, rather, is that textbooks were very positive relative to communism’s historical record. Indeed, many seemed deeply ignorant of actual communism, basing their assessment on second-hand information about communists’ stated intentions, plus a few anecdotes about inefficiencies. Many textbook authors were, in a phrase, communist dupes: Non-communists who believe and spread a radically overoptimistic image of communism.
