Kevin's Weblog

There’s been a couple interesting articles at The Ninth Bit in the last week. Megan explains Why She is a Libertarian which tends to agree with my libertarian leanings. (Although I have to say I would never label myself a capital-L Libertarian.) I’m glad to see that I’m not the only person sympathetic to most of the libertarian platform, but uncomfortable with the gun-whacko-ness.

I found the link to this article, Morlocks vs. Libertarians interesting. Somehow I’d never considered that someone might be seriously trying to pull a Nader from the other side. I have noticed, though, that in polls that include Badnarik he tends to do at least as well as Nader.

I do have to say, though, that this “taxation is slavery” stuff is crap. You can renounce your US citizenship and move to a country without income and property taxes. As long as you are free to leave, you are not a slave, but a willing participant in a social contract.
