Freed Men are Friends
Being a noninterventionist anywhere is going to make you butt heads with a lot of people. Being one in California is another story entirely. At least places like New Hampshire, Maine and Texas harbor somewhat individualist minded populaces. Somehow I have yet to completely lose my mind. I think reading and writing about it aids the situation.
The sheer confidence it takes to look into the eyes of 99% of the people I interact with and know that their political world view is unjust. That it not only fails to satisfy their wants, but logically cannot. To know that the problems of the world are due to intervention. Whether that be to imprison people indefinitely without trials, extra-judiciously assassinate teenage Americans or trust a private bank with our currency supply. The self-control needed not to release a barbaric YAWP, every time someone advocates a central plan for the interactions of other individuals' lives. A plan which could only be successfully orchestrated by an omniscient and omnipotent being. These are attributes that I have and that I do not need to display with my friend Josh Friedman.
The reduction of stress that comes about with interacting with a fellow noninterventionist is neither qualifiable nor quantifiable to another human. It is however, splendiferous. I need not prove the fact that we are surrounded by a police state that violates the 4th, 5th and 6th amendments. I need not lay out apodeictic axioms that illustrate unequivocally the unemployment wrought by minimum wage laws.
With Josh I can mosey around a basketball court musing about libertarians that are averse to the Privatization of Roads and Highways. A semantical argument about whether a society with voluntary government taxes can be called a society with government at all, can also ensue. All this is to say, I believe in this man and his work. He is a product of the Digital Age, and frees minds with the medium that he has matured on. The internets. His journalism is a breath of fresh air to those strangled by the tentacles of Leviathan's 4th Branch. Main stream media be warned.
His website www.freeslo.com is where he preaches the evangel of freedom. Support this man. Read.
