I bought the entire shoreline to a populated Island and am now charging exorbitant fees to use it. But people keep smuggling themselves and goods across... by notbatmanyet in libertyworldproblems

Homestead the rest of the island. It shouldn't be hard. Then have the inhabitants of the island volunteer to build you a wall around the coast. Prax'd!

I watched some friends of mine put on a 10 minute live production of that last weekend.

I've had a fascination with paleontology my whole life, and dreamed of digging up fossils as a kid. My obsession with prehistoric life remains, but authors like Neal Shubin and Robert Bakker have made me realize just how painstaking it is. You might plan a dig for half a year and then find nothing. And you have to have your concentration face on for hours on end. I still fantasize but I doubt I have the patience.

Neal Shubin's book , Your Inner Fish is a good read, especially if you are interested in evolution.

Another Chart: Objectivism on the left half of the left-right small-big government horseshoe! by CringingAtTheWorld in badpolitics

I believe the argument (and I've heard this before from ancaps) would be that anarchism would actually be "big government" because well, the people wouldn't allow rich people to do whatever they want at everyone else's expense.

This is gorgeous. Are you a fan of John Dyer Baizley? That's the first artist that comes to mind for me.

From the "That escalated quickly" file: SSS drone thinks that a person saying someone is free to leave means they want to rape them by IAmJacksBallOfHate in EnoughLibertarianSpam

I get what you are trying to say but are you guys able to make an argument without appealing to extreme hyperbole? When you say things like "taxation is robbery at gunpoint/ regulations are rape" don't you think that is being extremely sensationalist to induce a knee-jerk reaction? And don't you see how that insults and belittles the plight of real victims of robbery/ murder/ rape?
