Well said! Politics ruin many parts of society including the notion of liberty. We are meant to one arbiter of justice over another because that one aligns more with our political views rather than asking

This is a wonderful article. I find that we often can't even get to discussing some of the details of how a liberated society would function with such issues because people cannot even get their heads

The gun violence rate has been increasing in a seemingly steady manner here in Toronto since the banning of the "carding" practice that police used to use in the city. The whole cliche about

This is a clear sign of the move into the Early Adopter phase and the ultimate path towards the Early Majority phase of the adoption of crypto. Geopolitics seem destined to accelerate the adoption process

Yes, the legalization of pot is a tax grab. Some of the provinces have even decided to take control of all retail operations (further tax grab). Also, the various federal and provincial carbon tax schemes

Ok, maybe I don't quite understand your position. Trump does seem to have accomplished some deregulation and has lowered some taxes. These would seem to be steps in the right direction but are you saying

Thanks. This is also a great comment. I do acknowledge that Trump has done more than the other recent presidents to put an end to some of the nastier parts of government. I do think he has a bit of a tendency

This is an excellent point you make in your comment. I hope I did not suggest we need to sympathize with Trump. I believe he would gladly play the other side of the equation if the tables were turned.

It's interesting that volumes and site traffic are down. I do agree that there is mass capitulation going on. Various experts have talked about the pattern of adoption that we would see with cryptos where

I wouldn't be worried. The cryptos are still calibrating against the fiat currencies we measure them against. The USD and others have had some relative strength recently but you have to ask, what is this

Welcome to Steemit! This is a great post and raises an important subject. I like the fact that there are a bunch of people out there who just want to write good stuff and that we do not all bombard each

Definite buy. There is a really useful future for this product and it is consistently undervalued vs BTC

This situation is troubling and it mirrors the rest of the debt-based society that we continue to live in. Stimulating an industry through a rough patch can be a good idea when there is a reasonable likelihood

What we all really need to do is calm down and put things in perspective. I am glad to find someone writing about this because most people still see being "busy" as part of the solution rather

Bill Weld seems to be present for the sole purpose of trying to discredit the libertarian movement. It's great to be able to read and connect with people like yourselves who are actually committed to the

This is a great topic of conversation. I think a lot of people find a combined 10% of networth to be daunting and/or confusing depending on one's networth and how one is determining this figure. If someone

Good point but I also do think that there is now more of a need to be able to validate one's claim of being a good parent because of the government overreach that already exists. For example, I think I

Great article! The thing that is perhaps most frustrating about the Alfie story is that it was not simply a "medical" decision that kept his parents from seeking other treatments. It would be

Wonderful idea. Thank you for this!

It's really unfortunate that child "protection" has come to the state that it now is in. There are some much more extreme cases where a child does need help from someone to be protected from
