Sorry for not responding to the comments below sooner; we went on a spontaneous (like 90 minute decision cycle spontaneous) weekend trip to the mountains with All Three Boys and Tenacious G. Much fun was had, I realized that I may or may not have succeeded in civilizing my sons, and we just got back late tonight.
\nI\u0092ll present a more thoughtful response soon.
\nBut a quick question for all the folks who I\u0092ve pissed off\u0085
\n\u0085we all perform involuntary servitude for three or four months a year. We get a bundle of benefits for it. No one seems to be complaining about that…
\nWe have, in order to meet crucial national goals, drafted young men and enforced draconian labor and consumption laws. It is questionable to me whether we would be here to have this discussion had we not.
\nSo, to paraphrase Shaw, it\u0092s a matter of price.
\nIt\u0092s often as amusing to me how many of my libertarian\/anarchist friends have federally-insured home mortgages, and went to state universities, as it is how upset my Proudhon-spouting radical friends are when their stuff gets stolen or my socialist friends are when they run afoul of the zoning laws.
\nOur relationships with the state are and have been very complex here in America. They\u0092re gonna get more so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
