Had you stopped by the lemonade / kool aid stand on the front lawn of my parents house you would have been politely served, as long as you had the dime, (or a maybe a good condition Harmon Killebrew or Hank Aaron baseball card) .

Since then I've had a few other businesses, none of which practiced racial discrimination. None of that gives me the right to tell other people how they'll run their business though. I don't have that right, neither do you. Since you and I are equals in that regard, no other person or combination of other persons could possibly have that right either. It's impossible.

Of course nowadays over 50 years later, kids aren't "allowed" to engage in free market entrepreneurial things, your masters thug /cops will intervene.

It's funny you brought this up, we were doing the roof on my house and the housing inspectors came by insisting that I had a cabinet shop here. One was hiding around the side filming, the other talking with my wife at the front door. So I came up behind the one who was filming and waited until I got real close and said "can I help you". Startled a little I was told of the mysterious cabinet shop. There's a roof being done here and debris all picked up and nicely stacked on a trailer with a tarp covering it and a permit in the front window next to my door in plain view. "I'm going to have to write you a ticket" as she pulls out a ticket book. I asked what for and the response was "for running a business out of your home and doing this roof without a permit." I replied "The permit is in the window and there is no business going on here beside the roof." Later on that day, a building code inspector came by making the same claims saying we would be fined. I gave him a short tour of my place, garage and shop area. I get up and go to work just like everyone else, I keep some tools here and equipment. Its amazing that they jump to conclusions, the permit is a fluorescent green hard to miss form in plain view. 3 inspectors an hour and a half of wasted time but no violations. The roof was never inspected as usual. It amazes me. I got 3 calls for roofs from people saying the building department gave me an excellent referral the following week. Just finished the last one and I've had a few calls since that were referrals from the city. When they were here the second time it pissed me off but I kept off it and it worked out nicely with some more side jobs.

I don't know how you feel, but I'm pretty sick of church people. You know what they ought to do with churches? Tax them. If holy people are so interested in politics, government, and public policy, let them pay the price of admission like everybody else. The Catholic Church alone could wipe out the national debt if all you did was tax their real estate.

In the present case it is a little inaccurate to say I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible to any public office of trust or profit [...]. But I do not repine, for I am a subject of it only by force of arms.

The problem with the politicians of both parties in the US is that neither of them have a real agenda except to feather their own nests. They both have their hands deep in corporate pockets. All the rest is sleight of hand and distraction to keep the public occupied with trivia, divided against each other, and thinking their vote matters.

If you are sure you understand everything that is going on, you are hopelessly confused.

That's part of it.

The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free...

I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed, without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today – my own government.

“Political action involves mental vulgarity, not merely because it entails the occurrence and support of those who are mentally vulgar, but because of the simplification of human life implied in even the best of it purposes.”

Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.

The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation because in the degradation of woman the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.
