To many, the term "anarchy" implies violent chaos and bloody mayhem, and a complete breakdown of organized society-- a situation no decent person wants. What the word literally means, however, is "rule by no one," a society without any ruling class.
“When robbery is done in open daylight by sanction of the law, as it is done today, then any act of honor or restitution has to be hidden underground.” - Ragnar Danneskjöld

People remember Thomas Jefferson for the Declaration of Independence, which he wrote in 1776. A few will remember that he served as president from 1801 to 1809, but aside from that, they know almost nothing of his life and work.
If I posed the question - Are you willing to fight for liberty? - most would respond without pause - "Yes" - with the knowledge that death is a probable consequence - aka the ultimate sacrifice. This would suggest seriousness regarding freedom.

Here is a classic fish out of water (without his bicycle) story about an "honest" cop plunked down in a free society trying to catch bad guys. "Honest cops" were a possibility in 1980. The book opens with a Denver detective in the near future telling
Either we have the guts to stand by our beliefs or we don’t. (Which is why a lot of people avoid them – they haven’t the guts to choose.) Holding to our beliefs under fire is the crucial test – not of our beliefs, but of ourselves.

2013 is over, and I’m in the large group of people who are sort of glad to see it go. But in terms of liberty and technology, it was a great year! 2013 was also the year that a vast new majority of Americans turned their back on the overseas milita

With the right combination of web communication, publishing, and broadcasting technologies, liberty can be crowdsourced.

I hear the same complaints about politicians that you do. And while I understand them (I’ve complained plenty myself), the fact is that complaining accomplishes very little. And there is a very simple reason why complainers have no effect: Because th

Despite the fact that we are treated like second-class citizens with no rights to speak of—not to speech, property, assembly, due process, redress or representative government—in a police state that shows little regard for our life, liberty or our pu
The Roman Catholic Church was guilty of many abuses in Europe all through the Middle Ages, and I think the people of Europe had good reason to walk away from it. But as they did, they made a massive error: They didn’t replace it with anything better.
