My Current Novel, Pallas, Is

Despite The Internet 's Origin In The Late 1960s As A Government Sponsored Means Of Communication Between The Department Of Defense, Private Industry, And Academia, It Has Been At Its Best And Generated The Greatest Economic, Social, And Technological Benefits Since It Was 'liberated' By The Hordes Of 'geeks' Who Were Originally Hired To Run It By Employers Who Were Not Themselves Conversant With Computers, And Couldn't Tell When Their Employees Were Exchanging Official Traffic Or Trading Dirty Jokes And Recipes For Marijuana Brownies.

I Have A Recurring Daymare That When The Glorious People's Swat Teams Smash Their Way In, Most Of Us - By Which I Mean Members Of The General Freedom Movement - Will Be Caught Flatfooted, Sitting In Our Underwear Behind Our Computer Monitors, Guzzling Jolt And Gorging On Cheetos, While Arguing With Our Friends And Enemies Online About Immigration Or Abortion, Two Of The Issues That The Lefties Know They Can Always Rely On To Keep That General Freedom Movement Divided And Powerless.

A Libertarian Is A Person Who Believes That No One Has The Right, Under Any Circumstances, To Initiate Force Against Another Human Being For Any Reason Whatever; Nor Will A Libertarian Advocate The Initiation Of Force, Or Delegate It To Anyone Else. Those Who Act Consistently With This Principle Are Libertarians, Whether They Realize It Or Not. Those Who Fail To Act Consistently With It Are Not Libertarians, Regardless Of What They May Claim.

If Conservatives Really Believed In Individual Liberty, As They Endlessly Claim And If They Used Both Halves Of Their Brains Then They'd Be Libertarians. Instead, They Sabotage Themselves, And Their Cause, By Constantly Generating One Spurious Reason After Another To Deprive Other People Of Their Freedom.

We Are Expected To Believe That Anyone Who Objects To The Department Of Homeland Security Or The Usa Patriot Act Is A Terrorist, And That The Only Way To Preserve Our Freedom Is To Hand It Over To The Government For Safekeeping.
