Glad to know more and more people are catching on to this.
"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—'No. You move.'"

"I will never understand people who treat pollution as a result of capitalism...Pollution, by definition is a violation of [the] property rights of the person whose property is polluted [without] their consent; and as such, is as antithetical to capitalism as government wealth re-distributive schemes." --Me, in the comments to this video:  [yt]-_gU50mfehI[/yt]

I do have my moments.

"Political tags--such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth--are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire." --Robert Heinlein, "Time Enough for Love"

I think I just found what will be my next signature!

Heinlein really seems awesome, based on what I've seen of him.
I really don't know what that "24 types of Libertarian" poster we saw earlier was bitching about when it said one of them was, "Too much Heinlein".

Not so much a fav quote as something I need to get off my chest:

"Many of the 'capitalists' I know at my college--my economics professor, my physics professor, etc--are actually corporatists, given that they seem convinced what we have in the USA is a free market.  Really, if they wanted to help the cause of freedom, they'd switch sides, or at least stop conflating mercantile policies like Intellectual Property and government intervention on 'externalities' with a free market." --Me

Yeah, I will NEVER understand the people who use the externalities argument for government intervention.
Even everything they stated were true, by their own admission, we can't have a government either:  For what is government if not one giant externality?

"In political science and economics the five biggest contradictions are: 'Limited Government', 'Anarcho-Communism/Socialism', 'State Capitalism', 'Libertarian Socialism' and 'Crony Capitalism'" --Me

"In a world in which the last superpower is losing control — and the sooner the better — American conservatives will have to make a choice. Do they favor freedom? Or do they favor the global military state? Fess up, fellows. You have to make the choice." --Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.

"There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers." --Richard Feynman
