Sam Dodson talks about his experience in jail in this 52-minute video recorded at PorcFest. It’s entertaining and even inspiring at times, so I recommend you at least check out the first 33 minutes. At the same time, I noticed a few things in the video that just don’t jive. Why is Sam using a […]

Lately I’ve been getting flak for telling it like it is about minarchists and calling self-identified anarchists who participate in government anarchists-in-name-only. Is telling things straight and without candy-coating counterproductive? Am I alienating potential “converts”? Is this moralizing? Should I be catching bees with honey instead of speaking truth to people who are supposed to […]

That is Vin Suprynowicz’s message in Simply Submit, […]
Want to understand the Federal Reserve, inflation and monetary policy? Check out this 42-minute video from the Mises Institute. It answers a lot of questions in a short amount of time.
It was just another day of polite sparring with minarchists – those in favor of minimal government – when I realized that minarchists are actually anarchists! I was bowled over by the realization that limited government fans who won’t force me to participate in their government forfeit that organization’s claim to being a government. Minarchism: […]
Patrick and Sam do a great job of explaining to the Keene, NH city council the error of their ways in this six-minute YouTube video. It took a lot of courage for them to stand up and speak their mind in front of people who will obviously take great offense and most likely even misunderstand […]
