"Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it." -John Adams
Welcome to Patriot's Lament. We strive here to educate ourselves on Liberty. We will not worry ourselves so much with the daily antics of American politics, and drown ourselves in the murky waters of the political right or left. Instead, we will look to the Intellectuals and Champions of Liberty, and draw on their wisdom of what it is to be a truly free people. We will learn from where our Providential Liberties are derived, and put the proper perspective of a Free Individual and the State. Please join us!

Patriot's Lament December 22, 2012: Jesus the Anarchist and Meaning of Christmas
In our second Christmas broadcast we read again from the Dollar
Vigilante, from 2011, to explain why Jesus was the model Anarchist. And
we hear from the Peanuts gang about the true meaning of Christmas.
The above link talks about many different forms of voluntary/non-state government for punishing bad behavior which have worked throughout history. In part, he talks about how because government dispute resolution is so costly we commonly use voluntarily enforced dispute resolution. All of which don't depend on the dispute resolver forcibly taking a portion of everyone's property at the get go.
The speaker also talks about why comparing Somalia to the US is invalid. This part may be relevant to Randy, given the discussion today on the show.
I wonder if the punitive populists will start to get a clue. The domestic military state they adore is starting to target them, not just THOSE people. It is special pleadings to start complaining about it now.
The guy who says we should all just do what we're told and equates that with personal responsibility is not familiar with the concept of liberty.

That guy drove me nuts. Ignorant is the kindest word I can think of.
