"I chose her as the lesser of two evils". "I prefer the devil I know to the devil that I don't know". These mantras are morally bereft, overapplied, and reveal the layers of sloth wrapping Maria Doe's grey matter. Don't be caught in emulation.
If both candidates are evil, select neither. You are duty bound to role play Paul Revere, and reveal the malice the candidates would commit if granted the monopoly on force. The second one has a more simple solution. Don't deal with devils. Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Justin Amash, and Dennis Kucinich are the only statesmen today that I could even think about voting for. Kucinich folded when Obama asked him to vote yay on the Affordable Care Act. Rand and Amash, have folded on the issue of Israel. Ron Paul never folded. Now that he has left the game, it is unconscionable to vote for candidates. I vote for measures.
Local politics is a drag show of Republicrats deciding what to do with funds they have stolen, and plan to steal. There is no politician of worth in my perenially lusted after habitat of Los Angeles. I will leave their kind's bubbles as blank as works without faith. Let the ratiocination continue.
City of Los Angeles Measures
C) RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT REGARDING LIMITS ON POLITICAL CAMPAIGN SPENDING AND RIGHTS OF CORPORATIONS.
I vote no. I hate corporations. They are subsidized by our sovietized roads, disparate theft collection, and gun-point-prohibition of small scale producers. This is unjust. Our stomachs shouldn't churdle, because corporations lobby the State. Our stomach's should churdle, because the State has fresh pickings to offer corporations. The State produces nothing. We are its pickings.
D) MEDICAL MARIJUANA REGULATION AND TAXATION. LIMIT NUMBER OF BUSINESSES TO APPROXIMATELY 135 THAT OPERATED SINCE SEPTEMBER 2007 AND REGISTERED, IF THEY MEET OTHER REQUIREMENTS AND OPERATIONAL STANDARDS. EXEMPT DWELLINGS OF THREE OR FEWER PATIENTS/CAREGIVERS CULTIVATING MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR THEIR PATIENTS OR THEMSELVES FROM REGULATION. INCREASE TAXES ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA BUSINESSES.
I vote no. Do the scales of justice balance perfectly on September of 2007 A.D., or the number 135? Does the State have one perfect software program for adminstrating marijuana in the mutual aid sector of the economy? Has taxation suddenly stopped being theft?
Measures E & F are reformulations of Measure D. Trust me, or do your own research. I vote no on both. Voting, and saying why on the internets, are a part of the just darg.
Furthermore, we must end the State.

Consensual Exchange Breeds Empathy
The antiwar, or positively pro-peace, movement is still alive. The Old Left, the Old Right, and the Libertarian writers at antiwar.com help stoke brushfires of peace in the minds of men. Last Sunday, after church, I had the supreme delight of attending an antiwar event. It was hosted by downtown L.A.'s ever vibrant The Last Book Store. The Last Book Store is a bastion of words, radical authors, and local artists. If I may digress, their upstairs area alone has over 100,000 books each for the price of 1 Federal Reserve Note. Go there, and buy books. The Nation Institute writing fellow, prolific peacenik, and documentarian Jeremy Scahill was giving a talk on his new book Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield. Also, the subsequent documentary similarly entitled Dirty Wars.
His work illuminates the darkness that Obama, and his administration, would like to shroud our eyes in. Scahill's flashlight on the State reveals an indiscriminate murderer of women and children. He shows that the so-called cleanly and targeted assassinations of Al-Qaeda "leaders", are verily dirty and international-treaty-breaking cluster bombs of unknown tribesmen. His qualitative research is legion. He tells us stories of people who had never even heard of America or the Pacific Ocean, but now want to see its decimation. This is the sad conflation of country and the State. The actions of the State bear blowback on the people in our country. The entirety of many Yemeni experiences are summed in the wanton explosion and dismemberment of neighbors, parents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, siblings, and grandparents. Imagine if Chinese troops severed the heads of your family members in broad daylight. Then imagine that these forces claim to be the victims, when you retaliate. Please, let the word empathy hover in your mind. How would you feel?
I am reminded of the pejorative use of the term isolationist. Often against, the greatest statesman that has ever lived, Doctor Ronald Paul. Warmongers slam their war drums with the grace of an inebriated Tasmanian Devil. The terms they propagate are inconsistent. What does left mean? What does right mean? Especially, when both survive by ceding power to perennial warfare and State cheese. Early 20th century writer Randolph Bourne tells no lie when he says
Furthermore, we must end the State.

war is the health of the State.An isolationist would prevent, prohibit, encumber, restrict, hamper, impede, or invade the consensual exchange betwixt people from sundry global neighborhoods. Republicrats promulgate policies of this flair all the time. The peacenik should promulgate more consensual exchange, never less. We don't want to be insulated or isolated from our sistren in Yemen. We want to get to know our sister, and see what mutual aid she may join us in. Ron Paul calls this position noninterventionism. That is a slimsy, flaccid, and disemboweled symbol for this idea. If we must use negation, we should call it noninvasionism. When the State hampers consensual exchange, the State is committing an invasion. When speaking affirmatively of our foreign policy concerns, we should say we want peace and prosperity.
Furthermore, we must end the State.

Alabaman Land Theft
If you hear the phrase "for the public interest", or "common good", scram immediately. These are euphemisms that aggressive people use to mask their theft, or propose theft. Eminent domain is the confiscation of land for supposedly public good. The privileged corporate goons that thrive of this theft never have the gumption to take it outright. Instead they hire a middleman, whom retains the monopoly of security production within arbitrarily drawn borders. Our enemy, the State.
The Institute for Justice dares to enter the home of the State, and spit at its face.They oft defend land theft victims, in monopolized dispute resolution centers (courts). IJ writer Nick Sibilla tells us that Alabama legislators had actually reduced the legal privilege to steal land. No one who cares about justice should ever be lukewarm on the issue of land theft. For though they reduced the privilege temporarily, now they have given the State license to
My opponents may say, that there is no theft afoot. Their evidence would be the recompense given to victims of land theft. The subjective theory of value disproves this claim. There is no objective price to land. If a land owner wants to exchange her land with someone else, that is her right. She may peacefully trade it for free, for services, or for currency. Eminent domain users choose a price for their victims, and their price is backed by the authority of a gun in the victim's face.
Everywhere and always, eminent domain use is abuse. Furthermore, we must end the State.

ensure the location and expansion of automotive, automotive-industry related, aviation, aviation-industry related, medical, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, computer, electronics, energy conservation, cyber technology, and biomedical industry manufacturing facilitiesThese are sectors of the economy littered with State monopolies of patent, copyright, and licensing. Three tools used daily to discriminate against the poor. Patent and copyright prohibit the sale of a gal's own property to whomever she wants. Licensing bars entry to lower income professionals that cannot afford the cost of schooling, or regulatory paperwork. In addition to this lack of free competition, Alabama legislators are now burdening the poor with the potential to have their land legally stolen.

Frederick Douglass and Dominion of Wages
American history cannot be justly separated from the wrongdoings of white, male, State-facilitated land owners. It is not just mud on her boots, but a drowning typhoon of injustices. Slavery is her most condemned facet. And yet, slavery persists.
Furthermore, we must end the State.
Post Scriptum:
*Uh oh, I collapsed the fourth wall. Shoutout to Deadpool.
I tutor kids in an elementary school, and I know that modeling good behavior is the best way to influence kids to copy good behavior. To copy is to learn, and innovation comes when we add to the collective knowledge of humanity. Today, I trekked to the school library with my classroom. Inside, some gathered tomes to peruse, while others' eyes sagged staring at the ceiling. I modeled reading and checking out books from the library. My section of choice, as it has been for the past few years, was the nonfiction section. I rented A Picture Book of Frederick Douglass. It's a couple scores of pages, and written by David Adler. Frederick Douglass was a great man. Born a slave, died a free man.
The book reads like a well painted Wikipedia article. Short and packed with facts. Here's a gem
Frederick longed to be free.This is a simply written phrase, and the motor behind anarchist, libertarian, liberal and any other anti-authoritarian thought. Also, the motive behind the Laissez-faire portion of this blog's name.* Here is a more finely crafted gem
In New Bedford, Frederick worked loading and unloading ships, shoveling coal, and sweeping out chimneys. Frederick was pleased he didn't have to share his wages with a slave owner.The text in bold is my emphasis. The State imposes a whole-scale theft of every wage earners' salary. The State calls it the income tax. After the State expresses its dominion over our wages, it reminds us that it is our benefactor by returning a percentage of our stolen earnings. I long for the day when we will be free. I long for the day when we don't have to share our wages with our slave owner.
Furthermore, we must end the State.

Slavery in Chinatown
An editor tells me that local news should be scoured and devoured, for it holds the events close to the emotions of the masses. I listen. You and I tend to perk our ears when startling events occur in our neighborhoods. The news is the reporting of startling events. When I study the State, there is no bureaucratic shortage of news.
Los Angeles Downtown News reports that
I believe land ownership is the most important issue to those advocating free enterprise. A woman's house is her castle. You do not tell a woman what to do with her castle. The State, backed by its monopoly on kidnapping, does not allow a woman to sell alcohol without a permission slip from its licensing commissars. The State, backed by its monopoly on kidnapping, does not allow a woman to establish a shop without a permission slip from its zoning commissars. The State, backed by its monopoly on kidnapping, allows area leaders to petition it to crush the castles of women. If the State can do all of this, then we do not have private property. Instead, we have a world in which the State has dominion over all property. If we are told we have private property, yet it is only by the permission of the State that we can use it, we are under the dominion of the State. We are slaves to the State. Macy Liquor is a victim of slavery.
God bless America. Furthermore, we must end the State.
Post Scriptum:
Alexis de Tocqueville warned us of the tyranny of the majority in his magnum opus of American life, Democracy in America. Whenever people talk about the "public good", they are usually about to advocate the theft of private property. Eminent domain, or guidelines given to proper usage of property ensue.
Los Angeles Downtown News reports that
Macy Liquor, a Chinatown shop that many community stakeholders long complained about, quietly closed about a month ago.Why? Was it the bumbling incompetency of the American free market? Was it the poor recovery of the economy "after" the Great Recession? No comrade. Our enemy strikes again.
area leaders urged a city zoning administrator to revoke Macy's permit to sell alcoholWhere to begin? This is an issue of dominion. Dominion is simply who owns what. Republican politicians and commentariat, and the rare Democrat, voice their approval of private property. They don't want to seem unAmerican. Though their voices may be legion, they are hosts to the level of falsehood that Greek sirens screeched at Odysseus. If I have dominion over my property, then no one can tell me what to do with it, so long as I do not use it to harm my fellow man. There is no middle path , when it comes to property. You either absolutely affirm it, or absolutely deny it. To partially affirm my right to my property, is to say someone else has dominion over it. When our, the proprietors, interests conflict, whom has the ultimate decision making power? Whomever she is, she has dominion.

Read Raimondo & Greenwald
Vociferous writer, and peacemonger, Justin Raimondo oft exposes the false dogma of the left-right paradigm. The so-called left and right bicker and groan like the siblings that they are. Their parents are central planning and the monopoly on force. A morally ugly family picture, to say the least. Like most kids, the left and right enjoy spending other peoples' money. On what? Guns and butter.
Guardian writer, and civil liberties extremist (an accolade he appreciates), Glenn Greenwald is the most prominent defender of liberty I see talk with the establishment. Thank you Mr. Greenwald. The butter I speak of, is the distribution of stolen goods called welfare. I don't know where Mr. Greenwald stands on this subject. I don't care. His barrier breaking work against guns sets him apart. When I speak of guns, I am referring to the military-industrial-complex. Drones, McCarthian witch-hunts for "terrorists", the indefinite kidnapping of humans without a trial, the indefinite kidnapping of humans after humans have cleared their names in court, and the prohibition of words not in line with the lilting bourgeoise sense of propriety, are the culprits of tyranny he jots notes on.

Guerilla Drones FTW
When you have faith in God, and in those he made in his image, the future is luminous. No matter the darkness that appears before us now. There might be a bad day, or forty years, as you wander to and fro through creation. But, the future will bear more fruit than the present. Or, as the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior so prettily told us
Bring the Drones! His title selection speaks volumes, and multiple editions, to his view. Carson believes in the market. He believes in those made in His image. The trades of us image bearers are the market. Carson believes in us. He knows economic theory and the historicity of less State invasion in our trades. As we progress the market will eat the State. The voluntaryist flag has gold over black. The light will inevitably overcome the darkness. Corporate elites lose their ground every nanosecond Earth spins. Corporate elites rely upon State theft and the doling of stolen goods thereof. I am not afraid to call them by name; Lockheed Martin, Dyncorp, and Halliburton are a few. Today's drones are products driven by State fiat. When drones are mass produced due to demand by consumers, the moneychangers' temple tables will be overthrown.** Apply Moore's law, and do the arithmetic. Carson doesn't just slap the answer on his paper, he shows his work
Post Scriptum:
**Saint Matthew's good news chapter twenty-one
I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because "truth crushed to earth will rise again." How long? Not long, because "no lie can live forever." How long? Not long, because "you shall reap what you sow."... How long? Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.The truth that is crushed to the earth, is the immorality, chaos, and social disintegration brought about by do gooders using the State. The lie, is that the State can secure your property. By definition, it must forcibly expropriate your property. Market Anarchist Kevin Carson's words weave an intricately patterned story to the contrary of the doom and gloom spread by most libertarian writers. He speaks of our future as overflowing the proverbial glass, with goodness. The word is optimismo. Click here for an audio account of his thoughts on the growth of drone production.*

The 20th Century was the age of the large hierarchical institution. By the end of the 21st, there won't be enough left of them to bury.After you click the click here link above, and let Carson's prophecy sink in, remember emcee Immortal Technique's wisdom on the subject of guerrilla/asymmetric warfare
The point of guerrilla war is not to succeed, it has always been to make the enemy bleed, depriving the soldiers of the peace of mind that they need, bullets are hard to telegraph when they bob and they weave, the only way a Guerrilla War can ever be over, is when the occupation can't afford more soldiers.Furthermore, we must end the State.
