Laughter activates the chemistry of the will to live and increases our capacity to fight disease. Laughing relaxes the body and reduces problems associated with high blood pressure, strokes, arthritis, and ulcers. Some research suggests that laughter may also reduce the risk of heart disease.

Laughter can reduce the risk of gooferment too.
I listen to the podcast and was listening to the fellow, just beginning his media career, who didn’t know where to start. I think he need to “do” liberty comedy.
Make people laugh at the stupidity of gooferment.
I have a piece of evidence and a rationale why it’s the silver bullet.
The evidence is look at how FAST the “Spanish American War Tax” on cell phones was repealed after everyone, even the liberal media, started calling it that.
The rationale is that humor, especially truthful, obviously true, enters the target’s mind through an “undefended gate”. If I say the “cell phone tax is unjust”, then you look for proof. When I laughingly ask you “Did you pay your Spanish American War tax on your cell phone bill this month?”, you don’t ask for anything. But, like a burr under your saddle, every time you think, see, or pay a phone bill, you’ll think of that “joke”. Every time you hear it from another source, it gets reinforced and irritates even more. Becomes more “true”. More irritating. And begins a cycle of reinforcement. At the height of hilarity about it, in three days, I heard it three times on Leno, twice on Letterman, and every other day on the the morning radio wake up show.
The gang in “power” can’t afford to be laughed at. It makes them look stupid. It punctures their balloon of legitimacy. And, it gets people focused on them and their stupidity.
So, if the fellow is listening, then I’d suggest “Liberty Comedy”.
Get people laughing at the gooferment, and like Ghost Busters, they’ll shrink back to human being size.
