Kevin Tuma - Terminator - Cartoon commentary that Scwarzenneger is about to smoke Davis in Kalifornia. Hehe.

Doonesbury - August 12, 2003 - cartoon commentary on the loss of free speech in Amerika. Foohoohoohoohoo.

L. Neil Smith at The Libertarian Enterprise - One, Two, Three, Four I Don't Want Your Stinking War - an oldy, but goody, from way back in May of 2001. Neil hates drugs, but he hates the war on some drugs much worse. As do I. His solution? Turn the drug warriors into Bill of Rights enforcers. [smith2004]

I don't hold my opinions for no reason. I used some drugs in my youth. I smoked marijuana -- and inhaled. At a coffee house (no, not Starbuck's, this was something else, long gone with the dinosaurs), I once drank some tea into which tetrahydracannabinol had been sneaked by a character who later became one of the FBI's Most Wanted. I tried dexadrine -- next time I want to feel like that I'll wash a bottle of No-Doz down with a dozen cups of espresso. I even tried hashish: it looked exactly like the little cubes of freeze-dried tubifex worms I fed my swordtails and black mollies, and I didn't find out until it was too late that it had been laced with opium. That was a strange experience and it ended with yours truly kneeling at the porcelain altar just as if I'd had six or nine martinis and a big green chili burrito.

Coleridge was a jerk.

All that was literally decades ago (the statute of limitations expired before most of those reading this were born) and it was no trouble at all never to do it again. I detested the way cannabis screwed my mind up for three or four days after I'd smoked it. I've always been a writer, one way or another, and what I've striven for is clarity. These days I tell high school and college classes I address to go ahead and use all the drugs they want. Writing is a tough job, and the less competition I have, the better. For some reason, I don't get invited to address too many high school and college classes any more.

Nevertheless (it won't surprise anyone who knows me) I am bitterly opposed to the government's infantile war on drugs as I am opposed to almost nothing else it does to us while claiming to be doing it for us.

There isn't a single life in this country (and many other places) it hasn't altered dramatically and for the worse. It has destroyed the Bill of Rights and with it the frayed remnants of the American Dream. It's an open question just now whether the damage it's done can ever heal.

Every little thing Americans say or do or think or feel, every cent they spend and everything they buy, everywhere they go and everyone they meet, every line they write is monitored today by some violently officious subhuman garden slug who couldn't get a real job if this were a free country, because a truly free country would be technically advanced enough to have toilets and cesspools that clean themselves.

Edgar J. Steele - In Defense of Racism: Part 5 - National Disasters - why the politically-correct prohibition of racialism has created a potentially explosive situation. I have no idea if Mr. Steele's stated IQ averages are accurate. Nor do I know if his statistics are correct about the relative liklihood for blacks and whites to commit violent crimes. I agree with Mr. Steele, however, that in a free country, property owners have the right to include or exclude anyone they want for any reason they want. Mr. Steele did not say how he would achieve the racial separation that he desires. If he would achieve it by the voluntary actions of property owners, no problem by me. If he would achieve it by force of law, hang him.

Most of us prefer the company of members of our own family to that of others. Showing racial preference is the logical extension of showing family, or community preference. Be true to your school. Stand by your man. That sort of thing. Why must it be any different as the circle widens?

The politically correct see no difference between "racist" and "racialist," because they pretend there are no differences among the races except skin color and economic class. In fact, the politically correct dismiss anybody who dares even to speak of obvious racial differences, with nothing more, as being racist. Thus, the entire topic is off limits to discussion or investigation, with the consequence that serious scientific researchers either adjust their findings to the establishment viewpoint or become marginalized (defunded). The most glaring example is in the area of IQ measurement.

The sole exception to the racist "no-go zone" is invocation of the term "racist" to vilify another, either socially or judicially. Such baseless vilification has been done repeatedly down through history, as in Salem with the witch hunts or in the Middle Ages, via the Inquisition. The parallels are aptly made, since those guilty today of racism, via hate crimes or holocaust denial, for example, are routinely sent to prison throughout the Western world. A number of executions, in fact, have resulted due to the enhancement of criminal penalties engendered by laws governing racism. Thus, racism is seen for what it truly is: pure thought crime - thinking and expressing thoughts inconsistent with the establishment's point of view, though such thoughts were perfectly legal until very recently.

The politically correct believe that their approach is working, due to an apparent decrease in overt racism. They are wrong, as the politically incorrect are well aware. Racism merely has gone underground in polite society, and is building pressure, much as a steam boiler without a release valve - the release valve that has been plugged by societal pressure and hate crime laws. Witness the ever-growing resentment of affirmative action in both the left and the right in America. This pressure is aggravated by the sense of entitlement and victimhood engendered in so-called minority groups. A disaster of mythical proportions looms over the American landscape, awaiting only an ignition spark.

...

Because of the inherent racial differences between whites and blacks, whites always will have to be handicapped in order to provide equal outcomes for the races. Get used to affirmative action, because it is here to stay. The good news is that "here to stay" won't be long, because America simply won't last that long. At least, not America as currently comprised.

Quotes

Government doesn't work. Never did. Never will. Can't. But there are lots of good people. Love them.

-- Bill St. Clair

The Atlanta Declaration

Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission.

-- L. Neil Smith

Reread that pesky first clause of the Second Amendment. It doesn't say what any of us thought it said. What it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms is treason. What else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? And if it's treason, then it's punishable by death. I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

-- L. Neil Smith

A Penalty Clause for the Bill of Rights

Any official, appointed or elected, at any level of government, who attempts, through legislative act or other means, to nullify, evade, or avoid the provisions of the first ten amendments to this Constitution, or of the Thirteenth Amendment, shall be summarily removed from office, and, upon conviction, deprived of all pay and benefits including pension, and sentenced to imprisonment for life.

-- L. Neil Smith

Based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and some of its own empirical work, the panel couldn't identify a single gun control regulation that reduced violent crime, suicide or accidents.

-- John Lott, commenting on the National Academy of Sciences report on gun control laws.

Who is a libertarian?

Zero Aggression Principle ("Zap")

"A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim."

-- L. Neil Smith

(Formerly called the "Non-Aggression Principle", or "NAP")

Why Did It Have to be... Guns?

Make no mistake: all politicians -- even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership -- hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician -- or political philosophy -- can be put.

If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you.

If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims.

What his attitude -- toward your ownership and use of weapons -- conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him?

-- L. Neil Smith

Concise

"Tell me," I was once asked, "What do you think about gun control? Give me the short answer." To which I replied, "If you try to take our firearms we will kill you."

-- Mike Vanderboegh

Also from The Atlanta Declaration:

... like going to the bathroom, breathing, eating, sleeping, or making love, it turns out that self-defense is a bodily function one cannot safely or effectively delegate to a second party.

-- L. Neil Smith

This does not mean that "Marijuana should be available by prescription." It means that morphine sulfate should be available in five pound bags at the supermarket for a couple of bucks, like sugar... but probably in a different aisle, to avoid confusion.

-- Vin Suprynowicz

If you refuse to pay unjust taxes, your property will be confiscated. If you attempt to defend your property, you will be arrested. If you resist arrest, you will be clubbed. If you defend yourself against clubbing, you will be shot dead. These procedures are known as the Rule of Law.

-- Edward Abbey

The state can only survive as long as a majority is programmed to believe that theft isn't wrong if it's called taxation or asset forfeiture or eminent domain, that assault and kidnapping isn't wrong if it's called arrest, that mass murder isn't wrong if it's called war.

-- Bill St. Clair
