Well, after reading that long diatribe, I come to two conclusions. First, you didn't prove your claim at all. Second, you feel that killing people in a religious group is somehow not only pro-libertarian but is also progress. My reaction (and the reaction of most people) is "yuck". You wrote...

So it doesn't matter if, while we all take baby steps in the same direction, we all end up further back then when we started? Sorry, but that logic makes no sense to me. Well, we can certainly discuss the Chicago plan among ourselves if you wish. As you said, I take my cues from the Austrians...

Sorry I've taken so long to respond to all of you. My own personal world has been quite insistent about gaining my attention lately. And how many giant steps back have we lost in exchange for those baby steps? I think it's great that there are areas where improvements exist, but it's not...

Over the past few years, I've come to a realization. The liberty movement has largely failed to gain traction for a very important reason. I'm sure there are a lot of reasons, but this one seems to me to be the overarching one. In a nutshell, we're very good at articulating what we don't want...

As you point out, we need something here. The Schiff plan actually isn't much different from what I'm proposing. The difference is that what I'm proposing, we could actually use in the U.S.

Bitcoin, in my opinion, has far too many drawbacks, most of which the promoters of bitcoin themselves acknowledge. Among its limitations: 1. Electronic only - in the long run, a currency needs to have a non-electronic equivalent in order to be viable. While electronic currency is certainly a...

I've watched 20 minutes of the video, and I haven't seen anything yet along the lines you suggest.

There is no doubt that that is always a risk. I see it as a necessary risk, but it should not be underestimated. The hope is that the currency would gain acceptance fast enough that people would object in large numbers to such a crackdown, forcing the government to reconsider a crackdown. The...

The idea of a gold standard is nothing new, of course. However, the ability of the marketplace to offer a private, hard money alternative to the dollar, the euro, the pound, the yuan, and the yen is hamstrung by federal law here in the U.S. and by similar laws in other countries. Efforts by...

I did the same. Maybe if enough of us do that, YouTube will take notice.

I'm not sure if your second bullet point is serious or not. I'll assume that it's serious and reply by saying that there are a significant number of Ron Paul supporters who have frequented the Nolan Chart site who have advanced conspiracy theories as commenting readers on various articles in the...

During the 2008 campaign, the Nolan Chart website became a hub of pro-Ron Paul activity, and it helped to energize the Revolution. The Nolan Chart is open to all political viewpoints, which is one reason why our articles get included in Google News. This gives the Chart and its columnists an...

Morerockin, bunklocoempire, ibaghdadi, and Carole...thanks for the boatload of suggestions!

Hey vroomery...I ordered the book, and it arrived today. I didn't find a list. Is there a particular list in the book, or do I need to thumb through the entire book to pick out the examples you mentioned?

Thanks, hazek, for the YouTube share. You're right. Iran is another great example.
