A long time ago, in a Wichita far away, I met Robert LeFevre for the first time at a week-long seminar in the basement of the Ramada Inn. I learned a lot from him in that week, and over the years that followed. For example, as Americans, each of us has the right to vote as our individual conscience may dictate — for the socialist of our choice. LeFevre referred, as I have myself ever since, to so-called liberals as “left wing socialists” and to so-called conservatives as “right wing socialists”, pointing out that there isn’t any other option on the conventional political spectrum, or on the ballot at the polls.Vote for the socialist of your choice, but vote.

You have to admire people who can spike the verbal volleyball! I'm going to steal this argument, with attribution of course.

The Battle of Wakarusa
NLG and ACLU Fail to Defend Liberty

In early June 2006, the Wakarusa Music Festival took place around the USA Army Corps of Engineers Clinton Lake park facilities. About fifteen thousand people from around the country came for the festival, camped out, listened to live music, and brought millions of dollars in sales to area businesses.

But it wasn't all good news. With a USA feral "high intensity drug-trafficking area" grant, the State of Kansas and the Douglas County Sheriff's Department organized blockades of Kansas Highway 10, US Highway 59, and off ramps from Interstate 70, causing a three-day traffic snarl, violating individual liberties, and generally making a mess of the festival. The organizers who have brought the event to Lawrence, Kansas for three years in a row are considering not having it again, due to the oppressive police presence.

There goes the Fourth Amendment. The writer correctly asserts that the lawyers, a government granted monopoly, can't seem to get organized in time to defend our freedoms. But, they have no problem getting organized to take the benefits of a government monopoly. Sigh, what can one person do?

 The Separation of Education and State

Why has public schooling been riddled with so many problems? The answer is that public schooling is an absolutely perfect model of socialism and central planning. The entire system is based on the same top-down, command-and-control system on which the military is based, with political and bureaucratic committees planning the educational decisions of multitudes of children under their jurisdiction. Participation is mandated, with criminal penalties imposed on recalcitrant parents. Funding is also based on coercion, with taxes taken from everyone – even those who don’t have children – to fund the schooling of those who are sent into the system. Nearly everyone knows that socialism produces shoddy products and services. So why should anyone be surprised that public schooling does so as well?

I guess we should be surprise when anything comes out of it!
