I Suggest Due Process, Speedy Trials, And

Every Man, Woman, And Responsible Child Has An Unalienable Individual, Civil, Constitutional, And Human Right To Obtain, Own, And Carry, Openly Or Concealed, Any Weapon - Rifle, Shotgun, Handgun, Machinegun, Anything - Any Time, Any Place, Without Asking Anyone's Permission.

Government Can Only Do Two Things: It Can Beat People Up And Kill Them. Or It Can Threaten To Do So. When It Seems To Be Doing Something Else - For Example, Handing Out Money Or, Say, Surplus Cheese - What's Actually Going On Is That Something Has Been Taken Away From One Set Of Individuals By Deadly Force Or The Threat Of Deadly Force, A Hefty Middleman's Fee Deducted, And Whatever Is Left Thrown To Peasants Delighted To Receive Stolen Goods.

My Current Novel, Pallas, Is All About That Culture War - In Fact It's Been Called The Uncle Tom's Cabin Of The Sagebrush Rebellion - And Yet What I Hear All Too Often From Libertarians Is That They Don't Read Fiction.

Even If Drugs Are Fully As Destructive As They Are Usually Claimed To Be, It Is Morally Wrong And Demonstrably More Destructive For Government To Deprive People Of Their Unalienable, Individual, Civil, Constitutional, And Human Right To Make An Utter Mess Of Their Own Lives. Since Human Beings Are Inclined To Learn More From The Mistakes They Make, Rather Than From Their Triumphs, The Right To Fail, For Individuals And Groups Alike, May Be Even More Important Than The Right To Succeed, And It Must Be Fiercely Protected At Almost Any Cost.

I'm As Radical As Libertarians Come.
