"Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." - Frédéric Bastiat

Dear Followers,
First, let me take this opportunity to say ‘thank you’ for following my blog. Many of the blogs I have chosen to follow I have ‘found’ because of having been followed first by their authors. I’ve learned much from so many. I appreciate when others find mutual value in and in turn share news stories and messages that advocate maximum liberty, expose and lash out against the horrors of war, force and aggression, and question the authority of and need for the State.
My schedule outside of the Tumblrverse has gotten quite congested of late and will remain so for at least the next few weeks. As such, my frequency of posted content here has fallen drastically. I hadn’t planned for this, so my queue is empty and at this point there’s little I can do about that. Consequently, however, the lack of posts may give a wrong impression.
I just wanted to let you know I’m not gone and to ask your patience if my activity level here wains or evaporates for days at a time. As I find free time, I’ll try to queue up some content (and tag it as such) so that I’m not completely absent while being distracted by life outside.
Thank you for your understanding. I’m hopeful I’ll be back to making contributions here sooner than I expect. In the meantime, please be well.
In Liberty,
I’ll post some pics and thoughts about my experience in a day or two…

Transcript of a speech written and delivered by Lew Rockwell on 96.10.06. Absolutely worth a read. Consider as you read what little has changed over the next 15+ years. If anything, things are much worse.
From the transcript:
What does greatness in the presidency mean? It means waging war, crushing liberties, imposing socialism, issuing dictates, browbeating and ignoring Congress, appointing despotic judges, expanding the domestic and global empire, and generally trying his best to be an all-round enemy of freedom. It means saying with Lincoln, “I have a right to take any measure which may best subdue the enemy.”
The key to winning the respect of historians is to do these things. All aspirants to this vile office know this. It’s what they seek. They long for crisis and power, to be bullies in the pulpit, to be the dictators they are in their hearts. They want, at all costs, to avoid the fate of being another “postage-stamp president.” Madison said no man with power deserves to be trusted. Neither should we trust any man who seeks the power that the presidency offers.
