[2008.02.27] The Narrative of the "Free Republic": Anarchy, Gangs, and the Myth of Statehood
This article dissects some of the narratives surrounding the founding of the American Republic – in particular, the actions of Jefferson and Washington in relation to the ideals they professed. They claimed to be pro-limited government – what did they actually do when they got into office?

[2007.12.15] How to control a human soul (Podcast 70 Transcript)...
How do you exercise power over another human being? How do you corrupt them? How do you take his natural integrity, intelligence, and all the wonder that is the human mind, and turn it against itself and get it to eat itself and get it to be sort of a snake consuming its own tail? How do you wrap people up in neuroses, and how do you make them obedient? How to get them to subjugate themselves to your will without you even having to lift a finger, barely even an eyebrow?... read more | | StumbleUpon Toolbar Stumble It!

[2007.11.27] A libertarian handout for statists...

[2007.10.11] Libertarians and Taxation: To Pay or Not to Pay?
As libertarians, the question of participation in a statist society can be a great challenge.

[2007.09.04] Reason, Passion, and Salvation
When I was younger, and optimistic to the point of being naïve, I had an economics professor – let's call him Dr. Destructo – who repeatedly made the following argument: "War is good for the economy, because it reduces unemployment, and raises the demand for goods, capital and services...." read more | | StumbleUpon Toolbar Stumble It!

[2007.08.29] The Supercharged Stock Market: An Object Lesson in the Perils of Coercion
As we all know, the stock market is designed to allow companies to raise money by selling shares to individuals.

[2007.06.15] Stateless Dictatorships: How a Free Society Prevents the Re-emergence of a Government
