If you listen to the mainstream press you’ll have the false belief that Australia is much safer than the US…because Aussies don’t have guns, whereas Americans are gun-toting lunatics. Let me just show you some statistical comparisons between Australia, Iceland and the United States.
Over the past few days the mainstream press has gone into overdrive calling for US gun control and wondering why on earth anyone would want to own a gun. And odds are you may think the same thing. But before you cast judgement, you should read what I have to say…
What if mind-numbing psychiatric drugs make matters worse by threatening creative mental responses?
Even though I love technology, I don’t want technology to control everything I do. And by carrying a portable communications device 24/7 you’re letting technology control your life.
Folks, if you want to see how the state collapses in the future, this is the direction to look. It won’t happen through politics. It won’t happen by top-down reform. It won’t happen even through seminars. It will happen through the trial and error of entrepreneurship, because the market will not sit still.

People talk like capitalism is some strange foreign invader, a mechanical system that was imposed on the world a couple hundred years ago, fueled by burning coal and emitting smoke, and certainly not anything organic to the social order. This is preposterous.
I have no idea if climate change is true or not. And I believe the only way to prevent climate change (assuming it’s caused by humans) is to allow humans to manage the problem, rather than letting governments spend billions of dollars on expensive, pointless, and tainted research.
Government can do only one thing: coerce people. It does this by making and enforcing ever more laws that steal your property and run your life. The more it does this, the less people have money and freedom to run their own lives.
Child Protective Services, a tank, a SWAT team, a mother, and a 10 hour siege. Nope, the story doesn’t end there. It gets worse. Controversial anti-psychotic drugs, a 13 year old girl, sexual assault under state care at a paediatric psychiatric facility, rubber-stamping a judge’s signature, and constitutional law. Nope, the story isn’t finished. Just when you thought it had a happy ending, you find out about the sexually transmitted infection (STI).
