"Friedman isn't going to solve Texas' problems, but neither is any other politician. The whole premise of his campaign is to mock the process--as his slogan goes, 'How hard can it be?' I don't care if he wins, and I'm not sure he does either; I'm just glad to see him sharing the stage with his rivals on C-Span tonight."

"Bank robbers may tend to wear masks, but the crime they commit has nothing to do with the mask. In the same way, drunk drivers cause accidents but so do sober drivers, and many drunk drivers cause no accidents at all. The law should focus on violations of person and property, not scientific oddities like blood content."

"In the past, I have argued vehemently for the media to name both an accused and accuser or to name neither. In this case, however, I argue that the victim's privacy should be respected. I do so for one simple reason: the victim is not an accuser. When an accuser goes to the police and courts, he is attempting to impose a publicly-enforced penalty or sanction upon another human being and, so, he relinquishes some privacy. Foley's victim did not contact the law. There is no evidence that he sought any redress. Indeed, it is not even clear that Foley broke the law."

"We present a new paper-based voting method with attractive security properties. Not only can each voter verify that her vote is recorded as she intended, but she gets a 'receipt' that she can take home that can be used later to verify that her vote is actually included in the final tally. Her receipt, however, does not allow her to prove to anyone else how she voted."

"Wake up, people! The country we all grew up in is DEAD! It was killed by grasping, scheming politicians and corporations and other special interest groups. The illusion of freedom is long gone, buried under a morass of laws designed to crush our spirits. All that's left is the decaying corpse of an ideal, an ideal that many people still believe in. Hell, I believe in it myself! Unfortunately, the only ones who profit by continuing the ideal are the maggots in positions of power, feeding off what's left of our freedoms."

"Many of the plants these locations carry are barely sprouted and are intended for sale to patients to grow on their own. And besides, even if they had seized ten times as many, the issue at stake here is clear: the power of Washington, DC, to push around individuals and localities with its sheer tax-funded might."

"It should come as no surprise that conservative Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly is praising the military-detention bill that President Bush recently got through Congress."
http://www.fff.org/comment/com0610a.asp
"By passing the Military Commissions Act (a.k.a. the torture bill), Congress has granted the Bush administration extraordinary powers to detain, interrogate and prosecute alleged terrorists and their supporters. Anyone anywhere in the world at any time may be summarily classified an 'unlawful enemy combatant' by the executive branch, seized and detained."

"My question, 'how does a nation lose its soul?', is intentionally misleading. A nation is but an abstraction and has no more 'soul' than does a crowd of subway passengers. Only individuals enjoy a spiritual essence. A nation-state is but a tool that has proven useful to men and women who seek to promote their interests by inducing others to submit their lives and other resources to their management and control. To accomplish such ends, it is first necessary for the politically ambitious to herd individuals into a collective mindset, a process that requires us to transform our inner, individualized sense of being into an externalized one."

"Carl Watner's extraordinary book I Must Speak Out is densely packed with superb material for the student of market anarchism, and one of its chapters reproduces an 1896 essay by Francis Tandy about what means are appropriate for getting from a Statist society to a free one. It is remarkable; and I got to wonder how things might have been for the last century, if his insights had been enhanced in one particular way. "

"It is too late to boil in their own pot those individuals who were guilty of perpetrating the fraud which has unleashed the devastation of inflation. But at least we can oust the bankers who administer this maniacal monetary regime and the constables who guard it. We must demand our right to use whatever money we wish to, whatever good or commodity individuals free from coercive interference would spontaneously adopt."

"In many ways, perhaps unintentionally, this is the story not so much of a dysfunctional administration as a dysfunctional government. The Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld axis brought their own style, but the government is so huge and sprawling that one wonders if anybody could have run it effectively. With all the turf wars, bureaucracies working at cross-purposes, institutional rivalries (CIA-FBI, Defense-State, National Security Council vs. everybody else) its ineffectiveness seems inevitable."

"There is a great deal of talk about secession in various quarters, picking up as the American empire continues with its illegal, ineffective, intrusive, and immoral actions here and abroad, and more and more people are thinking that, extreme as it may at first seem, it really is the most sensible of the various options for serious political action. ... So if you want to lead a better life, with some democratic control over your affairs, without participating in the corrupt and dangerous system provided by this increasingly imperialistic failed state called the United States, secession seems to provide an answer."

"Banners. Innocent little Banners. Trendy, dippy, artsy-fartsy, and no doubt ecologically sound banners. Fluttering over the main streets of Hardyville. Over Liberty Way and Freedom Ave. They fluttered from lamp-posts up and down our pocket-sized business district, waving their message of yuppie prosperity and compulsive civic do-gooderism in the early morning light. "

"Let's say that one of the students ordered to leave the room on Wednesday at Platte Canyon High had a gun in his book bag. And let us say that, fearing for his life and the lives of those around him, he shot Morrison. The innocent life of Emily Keyes would have been saved and no girls would have been sexually assaulted and traumatized."

"All societies rely on individuals to police each other: if we think someone is behaving unfairly, we say so. Such rebukes rein in selfish behaviour and provide social glue. But where does the desire to stop the cheats come from? A team of economists and neuroscientists has now identified a brain region that seems to play a critical role. "

"That's right; from the earliest days of the Terror War - September 17, 2001, to be exact - Bush has claimed the peremptory power of life and death over the entire world. If he says you're an enemy of America, you are. If he wants to imprison you and torture you, he can. And if he decides you should die, he'll kill you. ... what is safe to do or say today might imperil your freedom or your life tomorrow. You can never know if you are on the right side of the law, because the 'law' is merely the whim of the Leader and his minions: their 'instincts' determine your guilt or innocence, and these flutterings in the gut can change from day to day."

"[T]he real enemy of the authoritarian is what 'dangerous' or 'offensive' behaviors represent: non-conformity. The 'threat' never really was the sodomy, it was the gay lifestyle. It was never the drug use, it was the drug culture. It isn't the home school, but the values of homeschooling parents. The threat to the authoritarian are individuals and groups who think and behave differently from the 'norm.' Their very existence makes the authoritarian uncomfortable; the idea that there are different ways to live happy lives is an threat to their values."

"America is full of decent people, who could never believe their own government could become fascist. So were Germany and Italy in the 1920s. But they became fascist anyway. They passed laws suspending civil liberties, but the government promised the frightened populace that those laws would only be used against targets like "Communist terrorists." And, a little bit at a time, the target kept getting bigger and bigger, slowly enough that the people who weren’t paying close attention never detected it."
http://www.lewrockwell.com/callahan/callahan160.html
"By passing the detainee and surveillance bills, Congress has given the executive branch the power to silence dissent. Naive Americans believe that there is a difference between the government having arbitrary and unaccountable powers to arrest enemies and using these powers against its own citizens. But governments always use the powers they gain. Otherwise, there is no point to the US Constitution, which was written to restrain the growth of government power. If government can be trusted with arbitrary and unaccountable power, the US Constitution has no purpose."
http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts10052006.html
"Sure, the Bush administration was in a state of denial when it came to realistically assessing the terrorist threat, and they are in a similar state when it comes to the effect our foreign policy -- specifically the Iraq war -- has on our fight to eradicate that threat. The real problem, however, is that we are all enmeshed in multiple states of denial, blocked from going down certain paths of investigation by taboos against 'conspiracism' and 'revisionism' that preclude all but a highly sanitized -- and unsatisfactory -- version of the 9/11 story."
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=9807
"Under the Military Commissions Act recently approved by Congress, there are two ways the government can imprison a suspected terrorist for the rest of his life. It can try him before a military commission, a process that includes many of the safeguards offered by civilian courts and courts-martial. Or it can skip the trial and keep him locked up anyway. Given the latter option, the government is apt to try only its strongest cases, involving big bad guys such as Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. The result is that the best treatment will be reserved for the 'worst of the worst,' while the rest of those detained as 'unlawful enemy combatants'--the innocent as well as the guilty--will be left to languish in obscurity."

"It's unfortunate that Dennis Hastert and his Republican majority might go down because of their mishandling of a sex scandal, and not because they passed the most evil and barbaric legislation in our history."
http://independentcountry.blogspot.com/2006/10/distorted-values.html
"It's a sad commentary on the state of American democracy, on the instincts of the American citizenry, and on the standards and judgment of the American newsmedia that the unsavory advances of a pathetic Forida congressman can have the nation in high dudgeon, while the ramming through of a patently illegal piece of legislation undermining a crucial 13th century civil liberty (habeas corpus), and the Fourth and Eighth Amendments of the constitution, and the secret planning for an illegal and catastrophic attack on Iran, both merit almost no complaint or mention."
http://www.counterpunch.org/lindorff10042006.html
"Markets, and market processes, are themselves a pretty important innovation, one not always approved or understood by Median Joe. Why not let the market work at an even more radical level, one that many people might think goes too far? Imagine that airlines could compete based on the level of security they provide. Let passengers choose their own security, along with a mix of price and inconvenience that some entrepreneur thinks would increase profits."

"Maps have long been created by people driving around and marking their trails, as if working a giant Etch A Sketch. Navteq, the biggest road-map maker, still does it that way. But Tele Atlas, which until recently competed with Chicago-based Navteq the way that Burger King competes with McDonald's -- making much the same things in much the same way – has decided to plot the world by starting with the electronic news alert instead of the steering wheel."

"The fact that average self-reported happiness has not risen with average incomes does not imply that there is no point in becoming richer. A steady rate of growth may be necessary to keep happiness and other good things at a high stable level."

"[G]ive people willing to donate their organs preferential treatment, if they ever need an organ transplant. LifeSharers, a burgeoning national organization, was formed four years ago on that concept. Membership in the nonprofit registry is free and has only one requirement: Signing a form stating that when a member dies, his or her organs would be offered first to relatives or LifeSharers members."

"Last Saturday the United States Congress passed a port security bill that carried an amendment banning Internet gambling. This was a huge mistake, not because Internet gambling is a good thing (it was already illegal, in fact), but because the new law is either unenforceable or -- if it can be enforced -- will tear away the last shreds of financial privacy enjoyed by U.S. citizens."
http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20061006.html
"The vast majority of people would agree that even if drug use is immoral in some sense, it is not immoral in the same way as murder. What many might not realize, having not been exposed to libertarian ethics, is the nature of the distinction -- drug use, in and of itself, is a victimless act, whereas murder, like rape, kidnapping, assault, theft, and trespassing, is a rights violation. ... Most of us want to see all the murderers punished. But it would destroy America to see even a substantial fraction of the drug users punished. In fact, the mere attempt to cleanse society of drugs by force has already wreaked irreparable damage on America."

"The truth is that the people who buy and sell are far more interested in the wellbeing of the public than lifetime bureaucrats who have no [more] professional stake in the outcome of the enterprising process than the man in the moon. Their one and only interest is protecting their power and position. Increasingly, they seize on any and every headline to whip up public frenzy."
http://www.mises.org/story/2346
"The real question, then, is not which system is perfect, but which system is more likely to give the vast majority of children a quality education that most parents could afford? Public schools fail and betray millions of children, year after year. The only 'right' the public-school system gives to school children is the right to suffer through a mind-numbing, third-rate education for twelve years."
http://www.newswithviews.com/Turtel/joel26.htm
"Initially the public, which sees most wars -- at least until they get bloody -- as the World Series or the Super Bowl, only larger, may rally around the flag. In this case, there will be no messy street fighting or IEDs (improvised explosive devices). The bombing will likely produce few if any casualties. The public will support the Republicans, and the president will get a servile Congress again. He will, of course, lose the support of Europeans, not just the 'old' ones, but the 'new' ones as well."

"[I]nstead of really trying to stop the legislation, those who opposed it were content to make a speech and vote against it so they could later brag about their principled stand. Everyone knew that was the Bush/Rove strategy-bring it up just before the elections so you can accuse the opposition of being soft on terrorism. It worked with the Iraqi War resolution in 2002, so why not now?"
http://www.counterpunch.org/abourezk10052006.html
"In appearances across the US, President Bush has been campaigning against withdrawing troops from Iraq, arguing that to leave now would hand a historic victory to Al Qaeda and inspire new generations of jihadists to attack the US. But a letter that has been translated and released by the US military indicates that Al Qaeda itself sees the continued American presence in Iraq as a boon for the terror network, which has recently shown signs of expanding into the Palestinian territories and North Africa. "

"With the help of three posturing Senators and a spineless, corrupt Congress, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 has been imposed upon the Republic. For those still in the dark, under this law George W. Bush has the full power not only to decide who is a threat but also to order his Praetorian Guard to haul the suspect away to whatever end. Neither courts nor Congress nor citizenry have legal recourse or protection from the wrath of Emperor George."

"Franklin Delano Roosevelt, for all his elaborate and extensive wartime apparatus of political repression and propaganda, never even came close to the police-state methods of his European cousins-once-removed in Moscow, Berlin, and Rome. And the comic-opera machinations of J. Edgar Hoover and Richard Nixon, while reprehensible, never approached the savage efficiency of the KGB -- about the only efficient institution in Soviet society."

"Call me nostalgic, but I still have a thing for the Articles of Confederation. Maybe it's the enticement of forbidden fruit. In the government schools I attended little if anything was said about the eight years during which the United States of America were governed under the Articles. The curriculum writers must have had a good reason for not devoting class time to that period. What didn't they want us to know?"

"Americans have seen glimpses of despotism before. Under the Sedition Act of 1798, U.S. Rep. Matthew Lyon of Fair Haven, Vt., was imprisoned for writing a newspaper letter attacking President John Adams for 'his continual grasp for power, unbounded thirst for pomp, foolish adulation, and selfish avarice.' For these words, Lyon was convicted of libeling Adams. He was sentenced to a four-month jail term and fined $1,000. Vermont voters re-elected Lyon in prison by a two-to-one margin over his closest opponent."

"We have two sharply differing versions of Iraq. One comes from the professional officers. It holds that the military is making progress and the insurgents losing ground. The Iraqi people love us and want the benefits that we will bring them. The increasing attacks by insurgents are signs of desperation. Things seem bad only because the media emphasize the negative. ... The other view comes from enlisted men (and from a lot of reporters before being edited to say whatever the publisher believes). These assert that the Iraqis hate us and we, them; that the insurgency is growing in strength, that we are not making progress but going backward, that our tactics don’t work and we can’t win. The pattern is so common in recent wars as to be routine."

"Kissinger missed the main lesson of Vietnam and is now missing it in Iraq. As the U.S. generals in Iraq know, killing more Sunni insurgents and Shi'ite militiamen than the United States loses of its own troops will not win a war that is fundamentally political."

"According to an analysis by professor Linda Bilmes of the Kennedy School at Harvard and professor Joseph Stiglitz of Columbia University, if you use government assumptions about the size of troop strength over the coming years, the war will cost us $1-trillion in direct budgetary outlays. Then, they say, add another trillion dollars for the war's adverse impact on our economy, such things as the loss of economic services by the men and women disabled during the war, the increase in the price of oil and other macroeconomic factors."

"When it comes right down to it, no matter what George Bush says, he cannot have a war without the consent of the troops. If the young men and women in uniform stand up and say 'No,' it is all over. I know those troops we have in Iraq today have that little voice in the back of their heads saying what they are doing is wrong. It doesn't matter how many people thank them for what they are doing, because way deep down inside, they know it's wrong, and years from now they will pay the price for not doing the right thing."

"During the 1880s, frustrated by the Democratic party's machinations and the inability of Republicans to protect their rights in the South, leading Afro-Americans called for political independence in party affiliation. Fortune articulated their grievances in editorials, articles, and several books. He castigated both major parties for their mistreatment of the freedmen."

"The shorts Keaton made in the early twenties are warm-ups for his features, but they have exotic delights of their own. Filled with topical jokes about prohibition and the success of women's suffrage, they exhibit a consistent self-reflexivity, making them perhaps the first serious films about films themselves."

From the IMDb Bio page: "In 1926, at the age of 20, she was cast as the leading lady in The Johnstown Flood (1926). She turned in a superb performance as Anna Burger. ... The next year was a good one for her, as she turned in acclaimed performances in two classic films, Seventh Heaven (1927) and Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927). Based on the strength of those two films plus Street Angel (1928), Janet received the very first Academy Award for Best Actress (this was the first and only time an actress won the Oscar for multiple roles)."

"Mencken subsidized 'The Smart Set' with a popular pulp magazine, 'Black Mask.' Within a year, Hammett sought his own subsidies there, finding detective fiction easier to place than sardonic character sketches. Although Hammett's nameless 'Continental Op' wasn't the first hard-boiled hero, his stories were originals. The prose wasn't just hard-boiled but boiled down to its essence; the situations seemed at least remotely plausible; the attitudes felt genuinely adult and world-weary. ... As a stylist, Hammett's spare prose pre-dated Hemingway's; Gertrude Stein considered him the superior writer. As an innovator, Hammett had introduced both the honorable private eye in Sam Spade, and the screwball mystery, in 'The Thin Man.' Most detective stories, even today, owe something to one or the other."

"Eight things libertarians can learn from conservative talk show caterwaulers: 1.

"The 12-person crew was not able to accommodate the president due to strict federal guidelines requiring all passengers to arrive at their departure gate 15 minutes prior to takeoff--guidelines flight officials say are especially important considering heightened security around the president.

"What I will say now about the utility of limited liability laws is that, even if not to the point of consuming capital, they do distort economic activity. And, perhaps more importantly, they are morally corrupting. They are morally corrupting because they allow the emergence of a ruling class in which political and economic power is as impersonal and as interlocked as in the despotisms of the ancient world. ... The British and American peoples, who together have created the world's only real attempt at a liberal civilisation, have been turned by a century of corporatism into nations of sheep. We have different prejudices. The decay of our national characters has not been uniform in all respects. But we are by the standards of our ancestors almost equally degenerate."

"Epistemology addresses questions like, 'Does science provide us with a reliable way of knowing things about the world, and, if so, is the sort of knowledge it offers universal or conditional?' Trying to reach answers to those queries through a scientific investigation is logically untenable -- the researcher would first have to decide that science is a valid means for discovering truths about reality, but that is the very issue his research is supposed to be helping us to resolve!

He'll spend the next two years ratcheting down his work at the company he cofounded 31 years ago, devoting the bulk of his time to philanthropic efforts.

"One of the major reasons we’ve drifted from the Founders vision of liberty in the Constitution was the division of the concept of freedom into two parts. Instead of freedom being applied equally to social and economic transactions, it has come to be thought of as two different concepts. Some in Congress now protect economic liberty and market choices, but ignore personal liberty and private choices. Others defend personal liberty, but concede the realm of property and economic transactions to government control. "
