Julian Assange, is a hero. Beyond what any statists can comprehend.

We do have rights, but political government and other bad guys violate those rights as a matter of course. It's what makes them bad guys, by definition. And, yes, everyone should have a gun.

You deserve rights in that no one has the right to deprive you of them. Rights are a negative thing-- you have no right to violate the life, liberty, or property of another-- not through an alley mugging

I think you are conflating the state and society. "organization, a collective of people, cooperation"... you can organize without coercion... a collective is great as long as it is by unanimous

Yes, Firefly comes to my mind, too. The only superheroes I like are the Incredibles. LOL. I really hate the Marvel superhero movies-- and I've tried so hard to like them. I liked The Greatest American

LOL. Yeah, it does. I described it as a wedge.

I eventually sold it-- It needed new batteries and I couldn't afford a set of them. I regret that now. It just plugged into the 110 volt household circuit. Now I mostly walk or bike. But I do have a Ford

I used to do the howler monkey hoots, too. LOL. Back when I had no neighbors.

Yeah, that would be fun. It would probably be even better if we could hang out somewhere that there's some wilderness. This area kinda sucks for wild spaces. Oh, and I tried out the glass paperweight today.

I tried the bow/drill for years before I had any luck. Then I sat and watched and talked to a guy while he made fire that way, and I never had any problem with it again. I just needed a real person to

I've made many fires with magnifying glasses and with fresnel lenses (super easy to slip into your wallet). Also, with reading glasses (or any glasses made for farsightedness) and the lens from the big

Wood ash from a previous fire.
