'''[[w:Hesiod|Hesiod]]''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: [[w:el:Ησίοδος|Ησίοδος]] ''Hēsíodos'') was a [[Greeks|Greek]] poet generally thought by scholars to have been active between 750 and 650 B.&nbsp;C.&nbsp;E.&nbsp;, around the same time as [[Homer]].&nbsp; He is generally regarded as the first written poet in the Western tradition to regard himself as individual persona with an active role to play in his subject.&nbsp; Ancient authors credited Hesiod and Homer with establishing Greek religious customs.&nbsp; Modern scholars refer to him as a major source on [[Greek mythology]], [[farming]] techniques, early [[economics|economic]] thought (he is sometimes considered history's first economist),<ref>[[Rothbard, Murray N.]], ''Economic Thought Before Adam Smith: Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought'' vol. 1 (Cheltenham, U.&nbsp;K.: [[Edward Elgar Publishing]], 1995), p. 8.</ref> archaic Greek [[astronomy]] and [[ancient]] [[time]]-keeping.</blockquote>

Socrates left no writings of his own, thus our awareness of his teachings comes primarily from a few ancient authors who referred to him in their own works (see [[:w:Socratic problem|Socratic problem]]).<blockquote>

**When I left him, I reasoned thus with myself:&nbsp; I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do.&nbsp; In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.
***21d

*For if you kill me, you will not easily find another such person at all, even if to say in a ludicrous way, attached on the city by the god, like on a large and well-bred horse, by its size and laziness both needing arousing by some gadfly; in this way the god seems to have fastened me on the city, some such one who arousing and persuading and reproaching each one of you I do not stop the whole day settling down all over.&nbsp; Thus such another will not easily come to you, men, but if you believe me, you will spare me; but perhaps you might possibly be offended, like the sleeping who are awakened, striking me, believing Anytus, you might easily kill, then the rest of your lives you might continue sleeping, unless the god caring for you should send you another.
**30e

*If I had engaged in politics, I should have perished long ago and done no good to either you or to myself.&nbsp; …for the truth is that no man who goes to war with you or any other multitude, honestly struggling against the commission of unrighteouosness and wrong in the State, will save his life; '''he who will really fight for right, if he would live even for a little while, must have a private station and not a public one'''.
**31e

* I have had no regular disciples: but if anyone likes to come and hear me while I am pursuing my mission, whether he be young or old, he may freely come.&nbsp; &#8230;whether he turns out to be a bad man or a good one, that cannot be justly laid to my charge, as I never taught him anything.
**33a-b

*Someone will say: Yes, Socrates, but cannot you hold your tongue, and then you may go into a foreign city, and no one will interfere with you? Now I have great difficulty in making you understand my answer to this.&nbsp; For if I tell you that this would be a disobedience to a divine command, and therefore that I cannot hold my tongue, you will not believe that I am serious; and if I say that the greatest good of a man is daily to converse about virtue, and all that concerning which you hear me examining myself and others, and that '''the life which is unexamined is not worth living'''—that you are still less likely to believe.
**37e-38a

====''[[w:Phaedo|Phaedo]]''====
:<small>[[Plato]]'s account of Socrates' death.</small>

''Note: Generally, the early works of Plato are considered to be close to the spirit of Socrates, whereas the later works, including Phaedo, may possibly be products of Plato's elaborations.''

*'''In the course of my life I have often had intimations in dreams "that I should make music."&nbsp; The same dream came to me sometimes in one form, and sometimes in another, but always saying the same or nearly the same words:&nbsp; Make and cultivate music, said the dream.'''&nbsp; And hitherto I imagined that this was only intended to exhort and encourage me in the study of philosophy, which has always been the pursuit of my life, and is the noblest and best of music.

*And now that the hour of departure is appointed to me, this is the hope with which I depart, and not I only, but every man that believes that he has his mind purified.
**Compare this to [[George Orwell]]&#8217;s ''[[1984]]''.
***In the book, O&#8217;Brien says of Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford, &#8220;By the time we had finished with them they were only the shells of men.&nbsp; There was nothing left in them except sorrow for what they had done, and love of Big Brother.&nbsp; It was touching to see how they loved him.&nbsp; They begged to be shot quickly, so that they could die while their minds were still clean.&#8221;
***In the 1984 film ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four (film)|Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'' based on [[George Orwell|Orwell]]&#8217;s ''[[1984]]'', Winston Smith is seen at the end of the film by the citizens of Oceania confessing, saying, &#8220;I’m glad I was caught.&nbsp; I was mentally deranged.&nbsp; Now I am cured.&nbsp; I ask only for you to accept my love of our leader.&nbsp; I ask only to be shot while my mind is still clean.&#8221;

*&#8230;as there are misanthropists, or haters of men, there are also misologists or haters of ideas, and both spring from the same cause, which is ignorance of the world.&nbsp; Misanthropy arises from too great confidence of inexperience; you trust a man and think him altogether true and good and faithful, and then in a little while he turns out to be false and knavish; and then another and another, and when this has happened several times to a man, especially within the circle of his most trusted friends, as he deems them, and he has often quarreled with them, he at last hates all men, and believes that no one has any good in him at all.&nbsp; &#8230;The reason is that a man, having to deal with other men, has no knowledge of them; for if he had knowledge he would have known the true state of the case, that few are the good and few the evil, and that the great majority are in the interval between them.

*&#8230;nothing is more uncommon than a very large or a very small man; and this applies generally to all extremes, whether of great and small, or swift and slow, or fair and foul, or black and white; and whether the instances you select be man or dogs or anything else, few are the extremes, but many are in the mean between them.

*Let us&#8230;be careful of admitting into our souls the notion that there is no truth or health or soundness in any arguments at all; but let us rather say that there is as yet no health in us, and that we must quit ourselves like men and do our best to gain health&#8230;

*    * It may be said, indeed, that without bones and muscles and the other parts of the body I cannot execute my purposes.&nbsp; But to say that I do as I do because of them, and that this is the way in which the mind acts, and not from the choice of the best, is a very careless and idle mode of speaking.&nbsp; I wonder that they cannot distinguish the cause from the condition, which the many, feeling about in the dark, are always mistaking and misnaming.

**Another possible source for the quote was proposed by Norbert Guterman, editor of "A Book of French Quotations," who noted a letter to M. le Riche (6 February 1770) in which Voltaire is quoted as saying: "Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write" (''"Monsieur l'abbé, je déteste ce que vous écrivez, mais je donnerai ma vie pour que vous puissiez continuer à écrire"'').&nbsp; This remark, however, does not appear in the letter.

====Query XVII====
* '''The error seems not sufficiently eradicated, that the operations of the mind, as well as the acts of the body, are subject to the [[coercion]] of the laws.''' But our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our [[God]]. '''The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.''' But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. If it be said, his testimony in a court of justice cannot be relied on, reject it then, and be the stigma on him. Constraint may make him worse by making him a hypocrite, but it will never make him a truer man. It may fix him obstinately in his errors, but will not cure them. '''[[Reason]] and free enquiry are the only effectual agents against [[error]].''' Give a loose to them, they will support the true [[religion]], by bringing every false one to their tribunal, to the test of their investigation. They are the natural enemies of error, and of error only. Had not the Roman government permitted free enquiry, Christianity could never have been introduced. Had not free enquiry been indulged, at the aera of the reformation, the corruptions of [[Christianity]] could not have been purged away. If it be restrained now, the present corruptions will be protected, and new ones encouraged. Was the [[government]] to prescribe to us our [[medicine]] and [[diet]], our bodies would be in such keeping as our [[souls]] are now. Thus in [[France]] the emetic was once forbidden as a medicine, and the potatoe as an article of food.
** Since at least 1997 the statement "Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now" has been misquoted in paraphrased form as "If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny".
*The [[Newton]]ian principle of gravitation is now more firmly established, on the basis of reason, than it would be were the government to step in, and to make it an article of necessary faith. [[Reason]] and experiment have been indulged, and [[error]] has fled before them.
*Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of [[Christianity]], have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned: yet we have not advanced one  inch towards uniformity. '''What has been the effect of [[coercion]]? To make one half the world [[fools]], and the other half [[hypocrites]]. To support roguery and error all over the earth.''' Let us reflect that it is inhabited by a thousand millions of people. That these profess probably a thousand different systems of religion. That ours is but one of that thousand. That if there be but one right, and ours that one, we should wish to see the 999 wandering sects gathered into the fold of [[truth]]. But against such a majority we cannot effect this by force. '''Reason and persuasion are the only practicable instruments.''' To make way for these, free inquiry must be indulged; and how can we wish others to indulge it while we refuse it ourselves. But every state, says an inquisitor, has established some religion. "No two, say I, have established the same". Is this a proof of the infallibility of establishments? Our sister states of Pennsylvania and New York, however, have long subsisted without any establishment at all.
====Query XVIII====
* For in a warm climate, no man will labour for himself who can make another labour for him. This is so true, that of the proprietors of slaves a very small proportion indeed are ever seen to labour. And can the [[liberties]] of a [[nation]] be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of [[God]]? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? '''Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his [[justice]] cannot sleep for ever''': that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a [[revolution]] of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference!
* There must doubtless be an unhappy inﬂuence on the manners of our people produced by the existence of [[slavery]] among us.&nbsp; The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous [[passions]], the most unremitting [[despotism]] on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other.&nbsp; Our [[children]] see this, and learn to imitate it; for man is an imitative [[animal]].&nbsp; This quality is the germ of all [[education]] in him.&nbsp; …&nbsp; And with what execration should the statesman be loaded, who permitting one half the citizens thus to trample on the [[rights]] of the other, transforms those into despots, and these into enemies, destroys the [[morals]] of the one part, and the amor patriae of the other.<sup>[http://alexpeak.com/twr/jefferson/#1784]</sup>
====Query XXII====
* It should be our endeavour to cultivate the [[peace]] and [[friendship]] of every [[nation]], even of that which has injured us most, when we shall have carried our point against her. Our interest will be to throw open the doors of [[commerce]], and to knock off all its shackles, giving perfect [[freedom]] to all persons for the vent of whatever they may chuse to bring into our ports, and asking the same in theirs. '''Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject, as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is their interest to go to [[war]].'''

*A man's natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime, whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, (or by any other name indicating his true character,) or by millions, calling themselves a government.
**[[s:No Treason/1|No. I]], [[s:No Treason/1#7|page 7]]
*The principle that the majority have a right to rule the minority, practically resolves all government into a mere contest between two bodies of men, as to which of them shall be masters, and which of them slaves; a contest, that—however bloody—can, in the nature of things, never be finally closed, so long as man refuses to be a slave.
**[[s:No Treason/1|No. I]], [[s:No Treason/1#9|page 9]]
*It is true that the ''theory'' of [[Constitution of the United States|our Constitution]] is, that all [[taxes]] are paid voluntarily; that our government is a mutual insurance [[companies|company]], voluntarily entered into by the people with each other; that each man makes a free and purely voluntary [[contract]] with all others who are parties to the Constitution, to pay so much [[money]] for so much [[protection]], the same as he does with any other insurance company; and that he is just as free not to be protected, and not to pay any tax, as he is to pay a tax, and be protected.<p>'''But this theory of our government is wholly different from the practical fact.&nbsp; The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: ''Your money, or your life.''&nbsp; And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat.'''<p>'''The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets.&nbsp; But the [[theft|robbery]] is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful.'''<p>'''The highwayman takes solely upon himself the [[responsibility]], [[danger]], and [[crime]] of his own act.&nbsp; He does not pretend that he has any [[natural rights|rightful]] claim to your money, or that he intends to use it for your own benefit.&nbsp; He does not pretend to be anything but a robber.&nbsp; He has not acquired impudence enough to profess to be merely a "protector," and that he takes men's money against their will, merely to enable him to "protect" those infatuated travellers, who feel perfectly able to protect themselves, or do not appreciate his peculiar system of protection.&nbsp; He is too sensible a man to make such professions as these.&nbsp; Furthermore, having taken your money, he leaves you, as you wish him to do.&nbsp; He does not persist in following you on the road, against your will; assuming to be your rightful "sovereign," on account of the "protection" he affords you.&nbsp; He does not keep "protecting" you, by commanding you to bow down and [[service|serve]] him; by [[force|requiring]] you to do this, and forbidding you to do that; by robbing you of more money as often as he finds it for his interest or pleasure to do so; and by branding you as a [[rebel]], a [[traitor]], and an [[enemy]] to your country, and shooting you down without mercy, if you dispute his [[authority]], or resist his demands.&nbsp; He is too much of a gentleman to be guilty of such impostures, and insults, and villainies as these.&nbsp; In short, he does not, in addition to robbing you, attempt to make you either his dupe or his [[slave]].'''<p>'''The proceedings of those robbers and [[murderers]], who call themselves "[[government|the government]]," are directly the opposite of these of the single highwayman.'''<p>In the first place, they do not, like him, make themselves individually known; or, consequently, take upon themselves personally the responsibility of their acts.&nbsp; On the contrary, they secretly (by secret ballot) designate some one of their number to commit the robbery in their behalf, while they keep themselves practically concealed.

*The science of mine and thine—the science of justice—is the science of all human rights; of all a man’s rights of person and property; of all his rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
**Section I, page 5
*These conditions are simply these: viz., ﬁrst, that each man shall do, towards every other, all that justice requires him to do; as, for example, that he shall pay his debts, that he shall return borrowed or stolen property to its owner, and that he shall make reparation for any injury he may have done to the person or property of another.<p>The second condition is, that each man shall abstain from doing to another, anything which justice forbids him to do; as, for example, that he shall abstain from committing theft, robbery, arson, murder, or any other crime against the person or property of another.<p>So long as these conditions are fulfilled, men are at peace, and ought to remain at peace, with each other.
**Section I, pages 5&#8211;6
*Man, no doubt, owes many other ''moral'' duties to his fellow men; such as to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, care for the sick, protect the defenceless, assist the weak, and enlighten the ignorant.&nbsp; But these are simply ''moral'' duties, of which each man must be his own judge, in each particular case, as to whether, and how, and how far, he can, or will, perform them.&nbsp; But of his ''legal'' duty—that is, of his duty to live honestly towards his fellow men—his fellow men not only ''may'' judge, but, for their own protection, ''must'' judge.&nbsp; And, if need be, they may rightfully ''compel'' him to perform it.&nbsp; They may do this, acting singly, or in concert.&nbsp; They may do it on the instant, as the necessity arises, or deliberately and systematically, if they prefer to do so, and the exigency will admit of it.
**Section II, page 6
*No objection can be made to these voluntary associations upon the ground that they would lack that knowledge of justice, as a science, which would be necessary to enable them to maintain justice, and themselves avoid doing injustice.&nbsp; Honesty, justice, natural law, is usually a very plain and simple matter, easily understood by common minds.&nbsp; Those who desire to know what it is, in any particular case, seldom have to go far to find it.
**Section IV, page 8
*Children learn the fundamental principles of natural law at a very early age.&nbsp; Thus they very early understand that one child must not, without just cause, strike or otherwise hurt, another; that one child must not assume any arbitrary control or domination over another; that one child must not, either by force, deceit, or stealth, obtain possession of anything that belongs to another; that if one child commits any of these wrongs against another, it is not only the right of the injured child to resist, and, if need be, punish the wrongdoer, and compel him to make reparation, but that it is also the right, and the moral duty, of all other children, and all other persons, to assist the injured party in defending his rights, and redressing his wrongs.&nbsp; These are fundamental principles of natural law, which govern the most important transactions of man with man.&nbsp; Yet children learn them earlier than they learn that three and three are six, or five and five ten.&nbsp; Their childish plays, even, could not be carried on without a constant regard to them; and it is equally impossible for persons of any age to live together in peace on any other conditions.

*If justice be not a natural principle, it is no principle at all.&nbsp; If it be not a natural principle, there is no such thing as justice.&nbsp; If it be not a natural principle, all that men have ever said or written about it, from time immemorial, has been said and written about that which had no existence.&nbsp; If it be not a natural principle, all the appeals for justice that have ever been heard, and all the struggles for justice that have ever been witnessed, have been appeals and struggles for a mere fantasy, a vagary of the imagination, and not for a reality.<p>If justice be not a natural principle, then there is no such thing as injustice; and all the crimes of which the world has been the scene, have been no crimes at all; but only simple events, like the falling of the rain, or the setting of the sun; events of which the victims had no more reason to complain than they had to complain of the running of the streams, or the growth of vegetation.<p>If justice be not a natural principle, governments (so-called) have no more right or reason to take cognizance of it, or to pretend or profess to take cognizance of it, than they have to take cognizance, or to pretend or profess to take cognizance, of any other nonentity; and all their professions of establishing justice, or of maintaining justice, or of rewarding justice, are simply the mere gibberish of fools, or the frauds of imposters.<!--[sic]--><p>But if justice be a natural principle, then it is necessarily an immutable one; and can no more be changed—by any power inferior to that which established it—than can the law of gravitation, the laws of light, the principles of mathematics, or any other natural law or principle whatever; and all attempts or assumptions, on the part of any man or body of men—whether calling themselves governments, or by any other name—to set up their own commands, wills, pleasure, or discretion, in the place of justice, as a rule of conduct for any human being, are as much an absurdity, an usurpation, and a tyranny, as would be their attempts to set up their own commands, wills, pleasure, or discretion in the place of any and all the physical, mental, and moral laws of the universe.<p>If there be any such principle as justice, it is, of necessity, a natural principle; and, as such, it is a matter of science, to be learned and applied like any other science.&nbsp; And to talk of either adding to, or taking from, it, by legislation, is just as false, absurd, and ridiculous as it would be to talk of adding to, or taking from, mathematics, chemistry, or any other science, by legislation.

*If there be such a principle as justice, or natural law, it is the principle, or law, that tells us what rights were given to every human being at his birth; what rights are, therefore, inherent in him as a human being, necessarily remain with him during life; and, however capable of being trampled upon, are incapable of being blotted out, extinguished, annihilated, or separated or eliminated from his nature as a human being, or deprived of their inherent authority or obligation.<p>On the other hand, if there be no such principle as justice, or natural law, then every human being came into the world utterly destitute of rights; and coming into the world destitute of rights, he must necessarily forever remain so.&nbsp; For if no one brings any rights with him into the world, clearly no one can ever have any rights of his own, or give any to another.&nbsp; And the consequence would be that mankind could never have any rights; and for them to talk of any such things as their rights, would be to talk of things that never had, never will have, and never can have any existence.
**Section IV, pages 12&#8211;13
*[A]ll human legislation is simply and always an assumption of authority and dominion, where no right of authority or dominion exists.&nbsp; It is, therefore, simply and always an intrusion, an absurdity, an usurpation, and a crime.
**Section V, page 13
*If there be in nature such a principle as justice, it is necessarily the only ''political'' principle there ever was, or ever will be.&nbsp; All the other so-called political principles, which men are in the habit of inventing, are not principles at all.&nbsp; They are either the mere conceits of simpletons, who imagine they have discovered something better than truth, and justice, and universal law; or they are mere devices and pretences,<!--[sic]--> to which selfish and knavish men resort as means to get fame, and power, and money.

===Quotes about E.&nbsp;V. Starr===
*In the matter of his offense and sentence, obviously '''petitioner''' was more sinned against than sinning.&nbsp; It is clear that he was in the hands of one of those too common [[mobbing|mobs]], bent upon vindicating its peculiar standard of [[patriotism]] and its odd concept of [[respect]] for the [[flag]] by compelling him to [[kiss]] the latter—a spectacle for the pity as well as the laughter of gods and men!&nbsp; Its unlawful and [[disorderly conduct]], not his [[just]] [[resistance]], nor the trivial and innocuous retort into which they goaded him, was calculated to degrade the sacred banner and to bring it into [[contempt]].&nbsp; Its members, not he, should have been [[punished]].<!--Judge Bourquin follows this paragraph with the following paragraphs:

Patriotism is the cement that binds the foundation and the superstructure of the state.&nbsp; The safety of the latter depends upon the integrity of the former.&nbsp; Like religion, patriotism is a virtue so indispensable and exalted, its excesses pass with little censure.&nbsp; But when, as here, it descends to fanaticism, it is of the reprehensible quality of the religion that incited the massacre of St.&nbsp;Bartholomew, the tortures of the Inquisition, the fires of Smithfield, the scaffolds of Salem, and is equally cruel and murderous.&nbsp; In its name, as in that of Liberty, what crimes have been committed!&nbsp; In every age it, too, furnishes its heresy hunters and its witch burners, and it, too, is a favorite mask for hypocrisy, assuming a virtue which it haveth not.&nbsp; So the mobs mentioned were generally the chosen and the last resort of the slacker, military and civil, the profiteer, and the enemy sympathizer, masquerading as superpatriots to divert attention from their real character.&nbsp; Incidentally, it is deserving of mention here that in the records of this court is a report of its grand jury that before it attempts had been made to prostitute the federal Espionage Law to wreak private vengeance and to work private ends.

As for the horrifying sentence itself, it is of those criticized by Mr.&nbsp; Justice Holmes in Abrams' Case, 250 U.&nbsp;S.&nbsp;616, 40 Sup.&nbsp;Ct.&nbsp;17, 63 L.&nbsp;Ed.&nbsp;1173, in that, if it be conceded trial and conviction are warranted, so frivolous is the charge that a nominal fine would serve every end of justice.&nbsp; And it, with too many like, goes far to give color, if not justification, to the bitter comment of George Bernard Shaw, satirist and cynic, that during the war the courts in France, bleeding under German guns, were very severe; the courts in England, hearing but echoes of those guns, were grossly unjust; but the courts of the United States, knowing naught save censored news of those guns, were stark, staring, raving mad.&nbsp; All this, however, cannot affect habeas corpus.&nbsp; It can appeal to the pardoning power alone.

The state law is valid, petitioner's imprisonment is not, repugnant to the federal Constitution, this court cannot relieve him, and the writ is denied.-->
**U.&nbsp;S. Judge [[George M. Bourquin]], ''Ex parte Starr'' 263 Fed 145 (D. Mont. 1920)<sup>[http://books.google.com/books?id=DUA4AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA145#v=onepage&q&f=false]</sup>
**Although Bourquin denies Starr the writ of ''[[habeas corpus]]'' in this opinion, he makes it clear that he denied the writ solely because the law had been deemed "valid", not because he had any sense that there was any validity, virtue, or justice in Starr's actual imprisonment; that he was of the opinion that the mob's excessive patriotism "descend[ed]" to a "fanaticism" both "reprehensible" and "cruel"; and that the sentence rendered against Starr was "horrifying".
<!--*By far the harshest penalty for "[[flag desecration]]" in American history was handed our during [[World War I|World War&nbsp;I]] to a Montana man, '''E.&nbsp;V. Starr''', who under the 1918 Montana law, which became the model for the 1918 federal Sedition Act (document 2.18), was given a $500 fine and a jail term of ten to twenty years at hard labor for refusing a [[mobbing|mob]]'s demands to [[kiss]] a [[flag]] and for terming it "nothing but a piece of [[cotton]]" with a "little [[paint]]" and "some other marks" on it which "might be covered with microbes."&nbsp; Considering the case on appeal, Federal district court judge George Bourquin termed the sentence a "horrifying" one that justified [[George Bernard Shaw]]'s comment that American [[courts]] had gone "stark, staring, raving mad" during the war; Bourquin also labeled the mob that had assaulted '''Starr''' "[[heresy]] hunters" and "[[witch]] burners."&nbsp; Nonetheless, he concluded that he was powerless to intervene, because the Montana state law was clearly constitutional under the ''Halter'' precedent (document 3.25).

*<!--The overwhelming focus of post-''Halter'' flag desecration enforcement on incidents with political significance is further highlighted by the clustering of cases around the period of [[World War I|World War&nbsp;I]] and the postwar [[Red Scare]] and [[World War II|World War&nbsp;II]], which were times of intensified patriotic-nationalistic fervor and decreased tolerance for dissent.&nbsp; ...&nbsp; -->The most extreme penalty for oral flag desecration was handed down under Montana's draconian 1918 law:&nbsp; '''E.&nbsp;V. Starr''' was sentenced during World War I to ten to twenty years at [[penal labour|hard labor]] in the state penitentiary, along with a $500 fine, for refusing a [[mobbing|mob]]'s demands that he [[kiss]] the [[flag]] (a favorite wartime vigilante punishment for the allegedly disloyal) and for terming it "nothing but a piece of [[cotton]]" with "a little [[paint]]" and "some other marks" on it which "might be covered with microbes."<sup>16</sup>

*The permeability of the boundary between outlawing [[disrespect]] and [[compelling]] [[respect]] for the [[flag]] became especially clear during periods of crisis.&nbsp; During [[World War I|World War&nbsp;I]], hundreds of people suspected of political dissidence or merely of insufficiently enthusiastic [[patriotism]] were, as in the '''Starr''' case, attacked by [[mobbing|mobs]] that sought to compel them to [[kiss]] the flag, often while [[government]] officials looked the other way or joined in.

*<!--Following the Civil War, flag protectionists targeted other forms of desecration, particularly abuses in the realm of commercialism.&nbsp; In 1907, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld <i>Halter v. Nebraska</i>, a case in which two businessmen were fined $50 for selling a bottle of "Stars and Stripes" brand beer--a violation of the Nebraska state flag desecration law.&nbsp; Soon the flag-protection movement would shift its focus from the commercial to the political arena in efforts to apprehend violators of flag desecration statutes.&nbsp; During the tense period leading up to U.S. involvement in World War I, the war itself, and the Red Scare of 1919-1920, flag-protection enthusiasts set their sights on political dissidents, especially such leftists as pacifists, labor organizers, anarchists, and communists.&nbsp; Interestingly, though, even mainstream [[citizens]] who chose not to consecrate the flag were subject to [[draconian]] penalties.&nbsp; '''E.&nbsp;V. Starr''' was arrested under Montana law for refusing a [[mobbing|mob]]'s demand that he [[kiss]] the [[flag]] and for terming it "nothing but a piece of [[cotton]]" with "a little bit of [[paint]]."&nbsp; For this violation, '''Starr''' was sentenced to hard labor in the state penitentiary for 10 to 20 years, along with a $100 [sic] fine (''Ex Parte Starr'', 1920:146-47; see Goldstein, 1995; Welch, 1999a).

*In compliance with Section Three of the Uniform State Flag Law, subversive elements could be arrested not only for supporting the enemy, but also casting contempt upon the flag by word or deed (Guenter, 1990).&nbsp; In a case that demonstrates the unforgiving nature of compulsory [[patriotism]] during [[World War I|that period]], '''E.&nbsp;V. Starr''' was arrested under the Montana sedition law for refusing a [[mobbing|mob]]'s demand that he [[kiss]] the flag and for denouncing it as "nothing but a piece of [[cotton]]" with "a little bit of [[paint]]."&nbsp; For that transgression, '''Starr''' was sentenced to [[penal labour|hard labor]] in the state penitentiary for 10 to 20 years, along with a $100<!--sic, It was actually $500--> fine (''Ex Parte Starr'' 1920; refer to Chapter 3).&nbsp; Incidentally, the Montana sedition law (replete with provisions for flag protection) served as a model for the federal Sedition Act.&nbsp; During the First World War, several states increased penalties for flag desecration: in Louisiana and Texas violations were punishable by five and twenty-five years in prison, respectively.

*Despite mainline respect for the flag, U.S. history also includes incidents of [[fanaticism]] and [[fetishism]], culminating in informal social control and [[vigilante justice]] (Welch, 1992).&nbsp; Punishment for [[flag desecration]], from a Durkheimian perspective, represents a [[communal]] [[reaction]] to violations of the [[sanctity]] of [[nationalism]], a defense mechanism situated at the moral center of American society.&nbsp; Whereas the formal penalties for violating flag protection [[laws]] are based on legal constructs borrowed from the [[religious]] sphere (i.e., desecration of a venerated object), informal punishments also reflect religious ideation in enforcing patriotism and condemning [[outcasts]].&nbsp; Throughout the history of the flag-protection [[crusade]], especially during [[World War I|World War&nbsp;I]], vigilante [[mobbing|mobs]] forced persons of questionable patriotism to [[kiss]] the flag (Peterson and Fite, 1957; also see Watkins, 1993).&nbsp; Kissing the flag is a symbolic expression of respect firmly rooted in formal religious rituals, resembling the kissing of the [[holy cross]], holy relics, [[rosaries]], and finger [[rings]] of [[bishops]], [[Cardinals]], and the [[pontiff]].<p>Perhaps the most [[draconian]] punishment for (oral) flag desecration was imposed on '''E.&nbsp;V. Starr''' in Montana during the First World War (see Chapter 1).&nbsp; The sentence was upheld on appeal, as federal judges concurred with the ''Halter'' precedent.&nbsp; Interestingly, though, District Court Judge [[George M. Bourquin]] admonished the sentence as "horrifying," but was himself powerless to overturn it.&nbsp; "In the matter of his offense and sentence, obviously petitioner was more sinned against than sinning.&nbsp; It is clear that he was in the hands of one of those too common [[mobbing|mobs]], bent upon vindicating its peculiar standard of [[patriotism]] and its odd concept for [[respect]] for the flag by compelling him to [[kiss]] the latter" (''Starr'', 1920, 146).&nbsp; Referring to the unruly mob's "unlawful and [[disorderly conduct]] .&nbsp;.&nbsp;. they, not he, should have been [[punished]]" (''Starr'', 146).&nbsp; Clearly, the ''Starr'' controversy blurs the line between formal and informal measures of social control.&nbsp; Indeed, [[government]] and [[law enforcement]] officials often turned a blind eye to vigilante [[violence]] and in some cases participated in the [[victimization]] of flag desecrators and those unwilling to defer to the Stars and Stripes (see Peterson and Fite, 1957).

===About Smedley D. Butler===
*Thus, Butler (and Archer) assumed that the existence of a financially backed plot meant that fascism was imminent, and that the planners represented a widespread and coherent group, having both the intent and the capacity to execute their ideas.&nbsp; So, when his testimony was criticized, and even ridiculed, in the media, and ignored in Washington, Butler saw (and Archer sees) conspiracy everywhere.&nbsp; Instead, it is plausible to conclude that the honest and straightforward, but intellectually and politically unsophisticated, Butler perceived in simplistic terms what were, in fact, complex trends and events.&nbsp; Thus, he leaped to the simplistic conclusion that the President and the Republic were in mortal danger.&nbsp; In essence, Archer swallowed his hero whole.

<!--*The other reason [an attack on war or a warlike foreign policy is of crucial importance to libertarians] is that, apart from the [[nuclear war|nuclear]] menace, [[war]], in the words of the [[libertarian]] [[Randolph Bourne]], "is the [[health]] of the [[State]]."&nbsp; War has always been the occasion of a great—and usually permanent—acceleration and intensification of State power over [[society]].&nbsp; War is the great [[excuse]] for mobilizing all the [[energies]] and [[resources]] of the [[nation]], in the name of [[patriotic]] [[rhetoric]], under the aegis and dictation of the State apparatus.&nbsp; It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in [[power]], in [[number]], in [[pride]], in absolute [[dominion]] over the [[economy]] and the society.&nbsp; Society becomes a [[herd mentality|herd]], seeking to [[kill]] its alleged [[enemies]], rooting out and [[suppressing]] all [[dissent]] from the official war effort, happily <  !--Page 348--  >[[betraying]] [[truth]] for the supposed public interest.&nbsp; Society becomes an armed camp, with the [[values]] and the [[morals]]—as the libertarian [[Albert Jay Nock]] once phrased it—of an "[[army]] on the march."

<!--*We cannot leave our topic without saying at least a word about the domestic [[tyranny]] that is the [[inevitable]] accompaniment of [[war]].&nbsp; The great [[Randolph Bourne]] [[realized]] that "war is the [[health]] of the [[State]]."&nbsp; It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in [[power]], in [[number]], in [[pride]], in absolute [[dominion]] over the [[economy]] and the [[society]].&nbsp; Society becomes a [[herd mentality|herd]], seeking to [[kill]] its alleged [[enemies]], rooting out and [[suppressing]] all [[dissent]] from the official war effort, happily [[betraying]] [[truth]] for the supposed public interest.&nbsp; Society becomes an armed camp, with the [[values]] and the [[morale]]—as [[Albert Jay Nock]] once phrased it—of an "[[army]] on the march."

<!--*Secondly, [[war]] has always been the occasion for a huge, catastrophic leap into [[statism]], a leap that occurs during the war and lasts as a permanent [[legacy]] afterwards.&nbsp; As the great [[libertarian]] [[Randolph Bourne]] [[warned]], as we entered the disaster of [[World War I]], "war is the [[health]] of the [[state]]."&nbsp; Time and again, war and foreign intervention [[destroyed]] our ancestors—the [[classical liberal]] movement in the [[eighteenth century|eighteenth]] and [[nineteenth century|nineteenth centuries]].&nbsp; In [[England]], [[Germany]], [[France]], and the [[United States of America|United States]], this [[tragedy]] repeatedly took place.&nbsp; In the United States, the big leaps into statism came with war: the [[War of 1812]], the [[American Civil War|Civil War]], World Wars I and [[World War II|II]], and the [[Cold War]].

*Finally, we must allude to the domestic [[tyranny]] that is the [[inevitable]] accompaniment of inter-State [[war]], a tyranny that usually lingers long after the war is over.&nbsp; [[Randolph Bourne]] [[realized]] that "war is the [[health]] of the [[State]]."&nbsp; It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in [[power]], in [[number]], in [[pride]], in absolute [[dominion]] over the [[economy]] and the [[society]].&nbsp; The root [[myth]] that enables the State to wax fat off war is the canard that war is a defense ''by'' the State ''of'' its subjects.&nbsp; The facts are <!--Page 197-->precisely the reverse.&nbsp; For if war is the health of the State, it is also its greatest [[danger]].&nbsp; A State can only "[[die]]" by [[defeat]] in war or by [[revolution]].&nbsp; In war, therefore, the State frantically mobilizes the [[people]] to [[fight]] for it against another State, under the pretext that it is fighting for them.&nbsp; Society becomes [[militarized]] and [[statism|statized]], it becomes a [[herd mentality|herd]], seeking to [[kill]] its alleged [[enemies]], rooting out and [[suppressing]] all [[dissent]] from the official war effort, happily [[betraying]] [[truth]] for the supposed public interest.&nbsp; Society becomes an armed camp, with the [[values]] and the [[morale]]—as [[Albert Jay Nock]] once phrased it—of an "[[army]] on the march."

*And among all the Western [[Empires]], the [[United Kingdom|British]] and the [[United States of America|American]] have always been the most adept at the use of [[phony]] [[moralizing]] to spin a web of [[excuses]] for their acts of [[conquest]] and to sucker the American and British [[public]]s into [[enthusiastic]] support of "their" Empires.&nbsp; It is the old [[trick]] of inducing the [[citizen]] to [[identify]] with "his" [[State]]; but the trick has always been most [[effective]] in time of [[war]], [[real]] or [[imagined]].&nbsp; That is just one of the [[reasons]] that the [[libertarian]] [[Randolph Bourne]], during [[World War I]], called war "the [[health]] of the State."

*Those who seek to [[live]] your lives for you, to take your [[liberties]] in return for relieving you of yours, those who elevate the [[state]] and downgrade the [[citizen]] must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for Divine Will, and [[United States of America|this nation]] was founded upon the rejection of that notion and upon the acceptance of [[God]] as the author of [[freedom]].
*Now those who seek absolute [[power]], even though they seek it to do what they regard as [[good]], are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of [[heaven]] on earth.&nbsp; They—and let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most [[hellish]] [[tyrannies]].&nbsp; Absolute power does [[corrupt]], and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed.&nbsp; Their mistaken course stems from false notions, ladies and gentlemen, of [[equality]].&nbsp; Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to [[liberty]] and to the [[emancipation]] of [[creative]] differences.&nbsp; Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to [[conformity]] and then to [[despotism]].
*It is the cause of [[republicanism]] to ensure that [[power]] remains in the hands of the [[people]].
*And I know that the road to [[freedom]] is a long and a challenging road.&nbsp; And I know also that some men may walk away from it, that some men resist challenge, accepting the false [[security]] of [[governmental]] [[paternalism]].
*In our vision of a good and decent [[future]], [[free]] and [[peaceful]], there must be room, room for deliberation of the [[energy]] and the [[talent]] of the [[individual]]; otherwise our vision is blind at the outset.
*Our towns and our cities, then our counties, then our states, then our regional compacts—and only then, the national [[government]].&nbsp; That, let me remind you, is the ladder of [[liberty]], built by [[decentralised]] [[power]].&nbsp; On it also we must have [[balance]] between the branches of [[government]] at every level.
*'''I would remind you that [[extremism]] in the defense of [[liberty]] is no [[vice]].'''<p>'''And let me remind you also that [[moderation]] in the pursuit of [[justice]] is no [[virtue]].'''
*Our republican cause is not to level out the world or make its people [[conform]] in computer [[regimented]] sameness.&nbsp; Our republican cause is to [[free]] our [[people]] and light the way for [[liberty]] throughout the [[world]].

*'''[[Libertarianism]] is clearly the most, perhaps the only truly [[radical]] movement in America.&nbsp; It grasps the problems of society by the roots.&nbsp; It is not reformist in any sense.&nbsp; It is revolutionary in every sense.'''
*The truth, of course, is that libertarianism wants to advance ''principles'' of [[property]] but that it in no way wishes to ''defend'', willy nilly, all property which now is called private.<p>Much of that property is stolen.&nbsp; Much is of dubious title.&nbsp; All of it is deeply intertwined with an [[immoral]], [[coercive]] state system which has condoned, built on, and profited from [[slavery]]; has expanded through and exploited a brutal and aggressive imperial and colonial foreign policy, and continues to hold the people in a roughly serf–master relationship to political–economic power concentrations.
*Libertarians are concerned, first and foremost, with that most valuable of properties, the [[life]] of each [[individual]].&nbsp; …&nbsp; Property rights pertaining to material objects are seen by libertarians as stemming from and…secondary to the right to own, direct, and enjoy one’s own life and those appurtenances thereto which may be acquired ''without [[coercion]]''.
*Libertarians, in short, simply do not believe that [[theft]] is proper whether it is committed in the name of a state, a class, a crises, a credo, or a cliche.<p>This is a far cry from sharing common ground with those who want to create a society in which super capitalists are free to amass vast holdings and who say that that is ultimately the most important purpose of [[freedom]].
*'''Libertarianism is a [[people]]'s movement and a liberation movement.'''&nbsp; It seeks the sort of open, non-coercive society in which the people, the living, free, distinct people may voluntarily associate, dis-associate, and, as they see fit, participate in the decisions affecting their lives.&nbsp; This means a truly [[free market]] in everything from [[ideas]] to [[idiosyncrasies]].&nbsp; It means people free ''collectively'' to organize the resources of their immediate community or individualistically to organize them; it means the freedom to have a community-based and supported judiciary where wanted, none where not, or private arbitration services where that is seen as most desirable.&nbsp; The same with police.&nbsp; The same with schools, hospitals, factories, farms, laboratories, parks, and pensions.&nbsp; [[Liberty]] means the right to shape your own institutions.&nbsp; It opposes the right of those institutions to shape you simply because of accreted power or gerontological status.
*There is scarcely anything radical about, for instance, those who say that the [[poor]] should have a larger share of the Federal budget.&nbsp; That is [[reactionary]], asking that the institution of state theft be made merely more palatable by distributing its loot to more sympathetic persons.

*Well, it's hard to tell on the basis of the ''[[Libertarian Party (United States)|Party's]]'' [[rhetoric]], after all they're running for state ofﬁce, but my experience is that ''most'' people who are in the Libertarian Party have pretty decent [[anarchist]] impulses, even if they do not say they are anarchists—most of them will say they are [[libertarians]], at any rate.<p>And one thing that is useful is that they have a ''fairly'' well-reﬁned [[analysis]] of why they aren't [[conservative]].&nbsp; It took the [[New Left]] to do a proper analysis on American [[liberals]], it seems to me, and I suspect that the libertarians are doing the best analysis of American ''conservatives''.<p>''I'' think that they are quite good [[people]], and that the Party contains within it probably more people of an anarchist tendency than any other [[organisation]] in the [[United States|country]].
*[A]fter I got evicted from the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]], I began reading considerably more of the works of American [[anarchists]], thanks largely to [[Murray Rothbard]]…and I was just amazed.<p>When I read [[Emma Goldman]], it was as though everything I had hoped that the Republican Party would stand for suddenly came out crystallised.&nbsp; It was a magnificently clear statement.&nbsp; And another interesting things about reading Emma Goldman is that you immediately see that, consciously or not, she's the source of the best in [[Ayn Rand]].&nbsp; She has the essential points that the Ayn Rand philosophy thinks, but without any of this sort of crazy [[solipsism]] that Rand is so fond of, the notion that people accomplish everything all in isolation.&nbsp; Emma Goldman understands that there’s a social element to even ''[[science]]'', but she ''also'' writes that all [[history]] is a struggle of the [[individual]] against the [[institutions]], which of course is what I’d always thought Republicans were saying, and so it goes.<p>In other words, in the Old Right, there were a lot of statements that ''seemed'' correct, and they appeal to you emotionally, as well; it was why I was a Republican—[[isolationist]], [[anti-authoritarian]] positions, but they’re not illuminated by anything more than statement.&nbsp; They just are good statements.&nbsp; But in the writings of the anarchists the same statements are made, but with this long illumination out of experience, analysis, comparison…it's rock-solid, and so I immediately realised that I'd been stumbling around inventing parts of a tradition that was old and thoughtful and already existed, and that's very nice to discover that—I don't think it's necessary to [[invent]] everything.
===Foreword (1984) to ''The Market for Liberty'' (1970)===
:''The Market for Liberty'' (1970) is by [[#Linda & Morris Tannehill|Linda & Morris Tannehill]].
*The most interesting political [[questions]] throughout history have been whether or not [[humans]] will be [[ruled]] or [[liberty|free]], whether they will be [[responsible]] for their actions as [[individuals]] or left irresponsible as members of [[society]], and whether they can live in [[peace]] by volitional agreements alone.<p>'''The fundamental question of politics has always been whether there should ''be'' [[politics]].'''
*Without the state there would be [[anarchy]] for that is, despite all the perfervid ravings of the [[Marxist]] [[left-wing|Left]] and [[statist]] [[right-wing|Right]], all that anarchy means—the absence of the state, the opportunity for [[liberty]].
*The [[nation state]] has never been associated with [[peace]] on [[earth]].&nbsp; Its most powerful recommendation and record is, as a matter of fact, as a wager of [[war]].&nbsp; The [[histor]]y of nation states is written around the dates of war, not peace, around [[arms]] and not [[arts]].&nbsp; The organization of warfare without the [[coercive]] power of the nation state is simply unimaginable at the scale with which we have become familiar.
===Quotes about Karl Hess===
*The basic problem I really have is that whenever I meet [[leftists]] in the [[socialist]] and [[Marxist]] movements, I'm called a ''petit-bourgeois'' [[individualist]].&nbsp; [''audience laughs'']&nbsp; I'm supposed to shrink after this—&nbsp; Usually I'm called ''petit-bourgeois'' individualist by [[students]], and by academicians, who’ve never done a days work life [sic] in their entire biography, whereas I have spent years in factories and the trade [[unions]], in foundries and auto plants.&nbsp; So after I have to swallow the word ''petit-bourgeois'', I don't mind the word ''individualist'' at all!<p>I believe in individual freedom; that's my primary and complete commitment—individual [[liberty]].&nbsp; That’s what it's ''all'' about.&nbsp; And that's what ''socialism'' was supposed to be about, or [[anarchism]] was supposed to be about, and tragically has been betrayed.<p>And when I normally encounter my so-called colleagues on the left—socialists, Marxists, [[communists]]—they tell me that, after the [[revolution]], they're gonna shoot me.&nbsp; [''audience laughs, Murray nods'']&nbsp; That is said with ''unusual consistency''.&nbsp; '''They're gonna stand me and [[Karl Hess|Karl]] up against the wall and get rid of us real fast; I feel much safer in your company.'''&nbsp; [''audience laughs and applauds'']
**[[Murray Bookchin]], speaking to a crowd of [[anarcho-capitalists]] and other [[libertarians]] at a [[Libertarian Party (United States)|Libertarian Party]] Conference, depicted in ''[http://alexpeak.com/art/films/aia/ Anarchism in America]'', directed by Steven Fischler and Joel Sucher (15 January 1983).
**Karl Hess is sitting next to Bookchin at the table.
*At this point, it would be wise to pause in our narrative and ask ourselves: why was Karl Hess working for the Republican National Committee?&nbsp; Why was he writing speeches for [[conservative]] [[politicians]] and drawing paychecks from the biggest and most influential (at that time) of the conservative think tanks?&nbsp; …&nbsp; In effect, then, Hess was deceived by the [[libertarian]] [[rhetoric]] the GOP and its conservative sympathizers began using in the early 1930s, in a frantic attempt to distinguish themselves from the [[New Deal]] [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]] who were pursuing policies long associated with the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] and calling them "[[liberal]]."&nbsp; It is doubtful, of course, that any Republican politician other than [[Ron Paul]] has ever taken that libertarian rhetoric seriously.
*For Karl Hess, the awakening began in the early [[1960s]], when he was 40 years old,…for it was then that he began reading [[Ayn Rand]].&nbsp; Before long,…the Randian influence was showing up unmistakably in the 1964 presidential campaign platform of the GOP, written by Hess, and the speeches delivered by the party's presidential nominee for that year, US Senator [[Barry Goldwater]] of Arizona, for whose campaign Hess served as chief speechwriter.<p>Meanwhile, he had met [[Murray Rothbard]], and it wasn't long before he had put [[Objectivist]] [[minarchism]] behind him and moved on to Rothbardian anarchism.&nbsp; Under Rothbard's influence he began reading classic [[anarchist]] writers.
*The Karl Hess of the early [[1970s]] was most often found attired in fatigues, a field jacket, and combat boots.&nbsp; He rode a [[motorcycle]].&nbsp; He gave up his affiliation with the right-wing [[American Enterprise Institute]] for an affiliation with the leftwing [[Institute for Policy Studies]].&nbsp; He joined [[Students for a Democratic Society]].&nbsp; He learned welding, worked professionally as a welder, and joined the Wobblies—the IWW, the [[Industrial Workers of the World]].&nbsp; He hung out with the [[Black Panthers]].&nbsp; He started talking about "community" and about the concerns of "[[workers]]" and about the ways in which giant [[corporations]], and the corporate lifestyle and the corporate mindset, menace and victimize ordinary, hardworking Americans.
*By the mid '80s, he was, as Lennon and McCartney might say, back to where he once belonged.&nbsp; Hess began contributing to movement magazines like Bill Bradford's ''[[Liberty (magazine)|Liberty]]''.&nbsp; He joined the [[Libertarian Party (United States)|Libertarian Party]] and spent three years as editor of the party's newspaper, the ''[[LP News]]''.&nbsp; When he started writing his autobiography in the late '80s and early '90s, he chose to portray himself in pretty much the way I have done in this essay—as a lifelong [[libertarian]] who had, somewhat ironically, spent most of his life wandering around searching for his true [[political]] [[identity]] and his true ideological home.&nbsp; It's good to know that, before his premature [[death]] from heart failure in 1994, he finally found both of them.

* I do feel like, kinda like a [[misfit]]; usually I feel, inside, I'm a misfit.&nbsp; Like, I don't really watch [[sports]], or a lot of…
** 1:46–1:55
* It seems like our [[politics]] is so [[old]], like, it almost seems like turning on the [[t.v.]] and there's ABC and CBS and NBC, and, y'know, there's like one [[newspaper]] in town, and so they're all pushing things on us, and that's all going away.

** 11:30–12:03
* Well, I think it just goes back to the [[values]] that I grew up with in the [[punk rock]] world because it was this [[decentralised]] world, and so we just made our own way&#8212;like we'd be [[antigovernment]] or, you know&#8212;but we really didn't complain a lot; we were more [[action]]-oriented, like, people were publishing ''[[fanzines]]'', we were setting up ''shows'', we were getting in ''vans'' and touring ''around'', and we were associating with other [[people]], so…y'know, I just like that idea.
** 11:43–15:10, about the value of decentralisation
* I don't think that [[corporations]] are these [[big]] [[bogeymen]] that a lot of people paint them to be.

** 20:00–20:38
* Well, it was just—it seemed like it was [[violence]], and, like, 'cause I went by some of the [[stores]] that, like, I don't really [[eat]] at [[McDonald's]], y'know, but a lot of people do, and so there are these people who want, y'know, they're-they're [[socialists]] but they [[hate]] [[misanthropy|people]], y'know, so they go trash the McDonald's, and I just think it was just reckless violence, and they weren't tryin'a accomplish anything, and they said—he was writing something on the wall, some kind of [[graffiti]] that was just [[stupid]] and [[cliché]], and I said, "Hey, how would you like if someone did that to ''your'' [[house]]?" and he yelled back, "Fuck you!" and these other people started yelling "Fuck you!" at me; I'm, like, "''Oh''," like "I'm in [[trouble]]."
** 28:27–29:07, about the [[1999 Seattle WTO protests]]

** 29:41–29:55
* If you [[hear]] a [[song]] you like, start [[dancing]].&nbsp; That's what I do, I'll just start dancing, and that's it.&nbsp; That's all there is to it.
** 34:23–34:29
* We weren't really interested in those bands; we were—because we came out of this subterranean scene.&nbsp; And then [[Nirvana (band) |Nirvana]] breaks big, and it's just diametrically opposite: we have, like, facial hair, and just, kind of, logger shirts, but we're all, like, "[[sensitive]]" and "feminine"—you know what I mean?

*Government effects the economy in three major ways—1) by taxation and spending, 2) by regulation, and 3) by control of money and banking.&nbsp; Taxation is economic hemophilia.&nbsp; It drains the economy of capital which might otherwise be used to increase both consumer satisfaction and the level of production and thus raise the standard of living.&nbsp; Taxing away this money either prevents the standard of living from rising to the heights it normally would or actually causes it to drop.&nbsp; Since productive people are the only ones who ''make'' money, they are the only ones from whom government can get money.&nbsp; Taxation must necessarily penalize productivity.<p>Some people feel that taxation really isn't so bad, because the money taken from the "private sector" is spent by the "public sector," so it all comes out even.&nbsp; But though government spends tax money, it never spends this legally plundered wealth the same way as it would have been spent by its rightful owners, the taxpaying victims.&nbsp; Money which would have been spent on increased consumer satisfaction or invested in production, creating more jobs and more products for consumers, may be used instead to subsidize welfare recipients, controlling their lives and, thus, discouraging them from freeing themselves in the only way possible—through productive labor.&nbsp; Or it may be used to build a dam which is of so little value to consumers and investors that it would never have been constructed without the force of government intervention.&nbsp; Government spending replaces the spending which people, if free, would do to maximize their happiness.&nbsp; In this way, government spending distorts the market and harms the economy as much or more than taxation.<p>If taxation bleeds the economy and government spending distorts it, governmental regulation amounts to slow strangulation.&nbsp; If a regulation requires businessmen to do what consumer desires would have caused them to do anyway, it is unnecessary.&nbsp; If it forces businessmen to act against consumer desires (which it almost always does), it harms the businessman, frustrates the consumer, and weakens the economy—and the confused consumer can usually be propagandized into blaming the businessman.&nbsp; By forcing businessmen to act against consumer desires, government regulation increases the cost of the regulated products (which, in our present economy, includes just about everything) and so lowers living standards for everyone and increases poverty.

*[Government] attracts the worst kind of men to its ranks, shackles progress, forces its citizens to act against their own judgment, and causes recurring internal and external strife by its coercive existence.&nbsp; In view of all this, the question becomes not, "Who will protect us from aggression?" but "Who will protect us from the governmental 'protectors'?"&nbsp; The contradiction of hiring an agency of institutionalized violence to protect us from violence is even more foolhardy than buying a cat to protect one's parakeet.

*A private defense service company, competing in an open market, couldn’t use force to hold onto its customers—if it tried to compel people to deal with it, it would compel them to buy protection from its competitors and drive itself out of business.&nbsp; The only way a private defense service company can make money is by protecting its customers from aggression, and the profit motive guarantees that this will be its only function and that it will perform this function well.<p>…<p>Private defense service employees would not have the legal immunity which so often protects governmental policemen.&nbsp; If they committed an aggressive act, they would have to pay for it, just the same as would any other individual.&nbsp; A defense service detective who beat a suspect up wouldn't be able to hide behind a government uniform or take refuge in a position of superior political power.&nbsp; Defense service companies would be no more immune from having to pay for acts of initiated force and fraud than would bakers or shotgun manufacturers.&nbsp; (For full proof of this statement, see Chapter 11.)&nbsp; Because of this, managers of defense service companies would quickly fire any employee who showed any tendency to initiate force against anyone, including prisoners.&nbsp; To keep such an employee would be too dangerously expensive for them.&nbsp; A job with a defense agency wouldn't be a position of power over others, as a police force job is, so it wouldn't attract the kind of people who enjoy wielding power over others, as a police job does.&nbsp; In fact, a defense agency would be the worst and most dangerous possible place for sadists!<p>Government police can afford to be brutal—they have immunity from prosecution in all but the most flagrant cases, and their "customers" can't desert them in favor of a competent protection and defense agency.&nbsp; But for a free-market defense service company to be guilty of brutality would be disastrous.&nbsp; Force—even retaliatory force—would always be used only as a last resort; it would never be used first, as it is by governmental police.

*Government is an artificial construct which, because of what it is, is in opposition to natural law.&nbsp; There is nothing in the nature of man which demands that he be governed by other men (if there were, then we would have to find someone to govern the governors, for they, too, would be men with a need to be governed).&nbsp; In fact, the nature of man is such that, in order to survive and be happy, he must be able to make his own decisions and control his own life…a right which is unavoidably violated by governments.&nbsp; The ruinous consequences of government's inescapable opposition to natural law are written in blood and human degradation across the pages of all man's history.

*The belief that society couldn't be defended without a government also assumes that government does, indeed, protect the society over which it rules.&nbsp; But when it is realized that government really has nothing except what it takes by force from its citizens, it becomes obvious that the government can't possibly protect the people, because it doesn't have the resources to do so.&nbsp; In fact, government, without the citizens on whom it parasitizes, couldn't even protect itself!&nbsp; Throughout history, people have been talked into submitting to the tyrannies of their governments because, they were told, their government was vitally necessary to protect them from the even more terrible depredations of other governments.&nbsp; The governments, having put over this bit of propaganda, then proceeded to cajole and coerce their citizens into ''protecting them!''&nbsp; Governments never defend their citizens; they can't.&nbsp; What they do is make the citizens defend them, usually after their stupid and imperialistic policies have aggravated or threatened another government to the point of armed conflict.&nbsp; Governmental protection against foreign aggression is a myth (but a myth which, sad to say, most people actually believe in).<p>…<p>Those who doubt that "the private sector" of the economy could sustain the expense of a free enterprise defense system would do well to consider two facts.&nbsp; First, "the public sector" gets its money from the same source as does "the private sector"—the wealth produced by individuals.&nbsp; The difference is that "the public sector" takes this wealth by force (which is legal robbery)—but it does not thereby have access to a larger pool of resources.&nbsp; On the contrary, by draining the economy by taxation and hobbling it with restrictions, the government actually diminishes the total supply of available resources.&nbsp; Second, government, because of what it is, makes defense far more expensive than it ought to be.&nbsp; The gross inefficiency and waste common to a coercive monopoly, which gathers its revenues by force and fears no competition, skyrocket costs.&nbsp; Furthermore, the insatiable desire of politicians and bureaucrats to exercise power in every remote corner of the world multiplies expensive armies, whose main effect is to commit aggressions and provoke wars.&nbsp; The question is not whether "the private sector" can afford the cost of defending individuals but how much longer individuals can afford the fearsome and dangerous cost of coerced governmental "defense" (which is, in reality, defense of the government, for the government…''by'' the citizens).

*Some great books are the product of a lifetime of research, reflection, and labored discipline.&nbsp; But other classics are written in a white heat during the moment of discovery, with prose that shines forth like the sun pouring into the window of a time when a new understanding brings in the world into focus for the first time.<p>''The Market for Liberty'' is that second type of classic, and what a treasure it is.&nbsp; Written by two authors—Morris and Linda Tannehill—just following a period of intense study of the writings of both [[#Ayn Rand|Ayn Rand]] and [[#Murray Rothbard|Murray Rothbard]], it has the pace, energy, and rigor you would expect from an evening's discussion with either of these two giants.<p>More than that, these authors put pen to paper at precisely the right time in their intellectual development, that period rhapsodic freshness when a great truth had been revealed, and they had to share it with the world.&nbsp; Clearly, the authors fell in love with liberty and the free market, and wrote an engaging, book-length sonnet to these ideas.<p>This book is very radical in the true sense of that term: it gets to the root of the problem of government and provides a rethinking of the whole organization of society.

==[[Abraham Lincoln]]==
'''[[w:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]]''' ([[12 February]] [[1809]]–[[15 April]] [[1865]]) was the 16th [[President of the United States|President]] of the [[United States]] and led the country during the [[War Between the States]].&nbsp; He [[conscription|enslaved]] innocent Americans by forcing them to serve in his [[military]], and he [[jailed]] [[journalists]] and [[activists]] for speaking out against his war in order to [[censor]] their [[dissent]].&nbsp; His ''primary'' objective was ''not'' to end slavery, but rather to force the C.S.A. back into the U.S.A.&nbsp; He was also a [[racist]] who thought whites were superior to blacks and who argued against the mixing of the races.<blockquote>
*I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
**First Debate with [[Stephen Douglas]] in the [http://www.bartleby.com/251/ Lincoln-Douglas debates] of the 1858 campaign for the U.S. Senate, at Ottawa, Illinois (21 August 1858).&nbsp; Lincoln later quoted himself and repeated this statement in his first Inaugural Address (4 March 1861) to emphasize that any acts of secession were over-reactions to his election.&nbsp; During the war which followed his election he eventually declared the [[Emancipation Proclamation]], pretending to free the slaves in those states over which he had no control, arguably as a war measure rather than as an entirely political or moral initiative.
*While I was at the hotel to-day, an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing perfect equality between the negroes and white people.&nbsp; While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me, I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it.&nbsp; '''I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.&nbsp; And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race'''.
** Fourth [[w:Lincoln–Douglas debates of 1858|Lincoln-Douglas Debate]] (18 September 1858).

*The [[political party|party]] takes over the function of what has been [[society]]—that is what I wanted them to understand.&nbsp; The party is all-embracing.&nbsp; It [[rules]] our lives in all their breadth and depth.&nbsp; We must therefore develop branches of the party in which the whole of individual life will be reflected.&nbsp; Each [[activity]] and each [[need]] of the individual will thereby be [[regulated]] by the party as the representative of the [[general good]].&nbsp; '''There will be no licence, no free space, in which the [[individual]] [[self-ownership|belongs to himself]].&nbsp; This is [[Socialism]]—not such trifles as the private possession of the means of production.&nbsp; Of what importance is that if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot [[escape]]?'''&nbsp; Let them then own [[land]] or factories as much as they please.&nbsp; '''The decisive factor is that the State, through the party, is supreme over them, regardless whether they are [[owners]] or [[workers]].&nbsp; All that, you see, is unessential.&nbsp; Our [[Socialism]] goes far deeper. It does not alter external conditions; no, it establishes the relation of the [[individual]] to the State, the national [[community]].'''&nbsp; It does this with the help of one party, or perhaps I should say of one [[order]].
*'''The day of [[individual]] [[happiness]] has passed.&nbsp; Instead, we shall feel a [[collective]] happiness.'''&nbsp; Can there be any greater happiness than a National Socialist meeting in which [[speakers]] and [[audience]] feel as one?&nbsp; It is the happiness of sharing.&nbsp; Only the early Christian communities could have felt it with equal [[intensity]].&nbsp; They, too, [[sacrifice]]d their personal happiness for the higher happiness of the community.<p>If we feel and experience this great era thus, then we shall not be disturbed by details and individual failures.&nbsp; We shall know then that every road leads us forward, no matter how much it seems to go in another direction.&nbsp; And above all, we shall then maintain our [[passionate]] desire to revolutionize the world to an extent unparalleled in [[history]].&nbsp; It gives us also a special, secret pleasure to see how the people about us are unaware of what is really happening to them.&nbsp; They gaze fascinated at one or two familiar superficialities, such as possessions and income and rank and other outworn conceptions.&nbsp; As long as these are kept intact, they are quite satisfied.&nbsp; But in the meantime they have entered a new relation; a powerful [[social]] [[force]] has caught them up.&nbsp; They themselves are [[changed]].&nbsp; What are [[ownership]] and [[income]] to that?&nbsp; Why need we trouble to socialize [[banks]] and factories?&nbsp; '''We [[socialize]] [[human beings]].'''

==[[Death (personification)|Death]]==
'''[[w:Death (personification)|Death]]''' is the personification of [[death]].&nbsp; The concept of '''Death''' as a [[sentient]] entity has existed in many societies since the beginning of recorded history.&nbsp; In [[English language|English]], Death is often given the name "the '''Grim Reaper'''" and, from the 15th century onwards, came to be shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large [[scythe]] and clothed in a [[black]] [[cloak]] with a [[hood (headgear)|hood]].&nbsp; In Jewish tradition, Death was referred to as the '''Angel of Life and Death''' (''Malach HaMavet'') or the '''Angel of Dark and Light''' stemming from the [[Bible]] and Talmudic lore.&nbsp; In many languages (including English), Death is personified in male form, while in others, it is perceived as a female character (for instance, in [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] and [[Romance languages]]).<blockquote>

*Tool's songs encompassed sullen [[calm]], rapid-fire onslaughts, spacious [[chords]] and nimble-fingered counterpoint.&nbsp; Standing room sometimes became a [[mosh pit]].&nbsp; But midway through its two-hour set, Tool chose stasis with a [[patiently]] tolling guitar vamp like a [[mantra]].&nbsp; Its [[fastest]] music also had a [[ritual]] quality, pounding and repeating like drummers in a [[trance]] [[ceremony]].&nbsp; Songs that rev up and end abruptly on Tool's albums only accelerated further, riffing harder and harder as if, through furious [[motion]], they could somehow break through Tool's [[perpetual]] [[tension]] to reach a long-denied [[release]].

"'''Second verse, same as the first'''", is a popular quote that has appeared, in various forms, in the lyrics of many songs.&nbsp; When used in lyrics, it generally denotes a literal repetition of a previous verse; when used in prose, it can represents a feeling of inescapable routine.

==Quotes==
<small>The following quotes are listed in chronological order, as opposed to alphabetical order, in order to give the reader a sense of the evolution of this phrase's use.</small>

*Oh, the cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn<br>The cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn<br>The cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn<br>And the doctor said it would do no harm<br>'''Second verse, same as the first'''
**"Cow Kicked Nelly", traditional.
***Song repeats ad naseum, each time increasing the count.
***Some versions add "A little bit louder and a little bit worse" after "Second verse, same as the first."

*The programs in that sterile stretch of the day follow each other listlessly around the top half of the clock: one group coughs out its quota of misery and tedium, a sympathetic announcer asks of Divine Providence what will happen tomorrow (as if anybody gave a damn, including the author), a covey of madrigal singers harasses the public to buy the right brand of lemon extract, the network and the station identify themselves boldly, and the next round begins.<p>'''Second verse, same as the first.'''&nbsp; Mitynice Marmalade brings you its own Aunt Beulah.&nbsp; A great American novel written especially for radio.&nbsp; Ladies, does the orange marmalade you use taste like the rind of an old grapefruit?&nbsp; Here's a tip that will make your husband sit up at breakfast and smack his lips with pleasure.&nbsp; Mitynice is the only marmalade that gives you that special, seal-tested, bottled-in frammis.<p>It was exactly as Wally Devens had said, dictating his futile corrections to a bored stenographer with rhomboid glasses.&nbsp; It was blah blah blah.

*Stand with arms straight out in front of chest, shoulder level.&nbsp; Bring fingertips to shoulders, then forcibly extend the elbows, flinging arms out in front.&nbsp; Circle arms out to sides, bend elbows to touch fingertips to shoulders and again forcibly extend elbows, flinging arms straight out to the sides.&nbsp; Around to the front again and '''second verse same as the first'''.

***Although "[[w:I'm Henery the Eighth, I Am|I'm Henery the Eighth, I Am]]" was originally written in 1910 by Fred Murray and R. P. Weston, Herman's Hermits's 1965 rendition was the first to incorporate the phrase, "Second verse, same as the first."

*"Let's do it again!" the Showmen exclaimed in their 1961 New Orleans rock'n'roll-will-never-die proclamation "It Will Stand," "I feel good let's do it again!"&nbsp; The Staple Singers had a hit with "Let's Do It Again," and "Do It Again" is one of the only Steely Dan songs I like…<p>Here's Herman's Hermits in "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" (which was first popularized in 1911): "'''Second verse, same as the first.'''"&nbsp; So rock'n'roll has always proded itself in its redundancy, always equated eternal recurrence with eternal life.<p>"Depth" and "originality" can definitely be tools that help make good music, but they've never been mandatory, and as often as not they just get in the way.&nbsp; Conversely, unoriginality can be an asset as long as the musucians in question are stealing from music I ''like''; in fact, I'd go so far to argue that more new bands ''should'' rip off my favorite records.

===[[Decentralisation]]===
===[[Kent State massacre]]===
*Suddenly the men of Troop G pause and wheel around, rifles upraised.&nbsp; At 12:24 one of them, possibly an officer, fires his weapon.&nbsp; This is immediately followed by a staccato sound like a series of giant firecrackers exploding.&nbsp; At least ten guardsmen fire fifty-five rifle bursts, five pistol shots, and a shotgun blast at students over a hundred yards away in the parking lot.<p>When echoes of the fusillade fade away, thirteen bodies are sprawled on the ground.&nbsp; Nine students are wounded.&nbsp; Four are dead—Allison Krause, Bill Schroeder, Sandra Scheuer, and Jeffrey Miller.&nbsp; Of the thirteen who were shot, only two have been hit frontally.&nbsp; Seven have bullets in their sides and four in their backs, proving they were not advancing but fleeing.<p>One young guardsman is horrified by the spectacle.&nbsp; Falling to the ground and tossing hysterically, he cries out, "I just shot two teenagers!"&nbsp; The other guardsmen march off up the hill, leaving the dead and wounded behind.
**[[Jules Archer]], [http://alexpeak.com/twr/kstttstn/ "Kent State—the Tragedy that Shook the Nation,"] chapter one of ''The Incredible Sixties: The Stormy Years that Changed America'' (San Diego: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1986), pp. 2–3.
===[[Police state]]===
*[D]oes [[United States of America|America]] now embody this common description of a [[police state]]?<p>Clearly it does.&nbsp; The American [[government]] exerts extreme control over [[society]], down to dictating which [[foods]] you may [[eat]].&nbsp; Its [[economic]] control borders on the absolute.&nbsp; It politicizes and presides over even the traditional bastion of [[privacy]]—the [[family]].&nbsp; Camera and other surveillance of daily life has soared, with the [[Supreme Court]] recently expanding the "right" of police to perform warrantless searches.&nbsp; Enforcement is so draconian that the United States has more [[prisoners]] per capita than any other nation; and over the last few years, the police have been self-consciously [[militarizing]] their procedures and [[attitudes]].&nbsp; [[Travel]], formerly a [[right]], is now a privilege granted by government agents at their whim.&nbsp; Several huge and [[tyrannical]] law-enforcement agencies monitor [[peaceful]] behavior rather than respond to [[crime]].&nbsp; These agencies operate largely outside the restrictions of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]]; for example, the [[Transportation Security Administration |TSA]] conducts arbitrary searches in violation of [[Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution |Fourth Amendment]] guarantees.
*As an [[anarchist]], I view all states as '''police states''', because every [[law]] is ultimately backed by police force against the body or [[property]] of a scofflaw, however peaceful he may be.&nbsp; I see only a difference of degree, not of kind.&nbsp; But even small differences in the degree of [[repression]] can be matters of [[life]] or [[death]], and so they should not be trivialized.
**[[Wendy McElroy]], [http://mises.org/library/police-state-personal "The Police State Is Personal"], ''Mises Daily'' (The Ludwig von Mises Institute, 25 May 2011).
===[[Smoking]], [[cigarettes]], and [[tobacco]]===
{{Main|secondhand smoke}}
*Generally, the control freaks only ''increase'' [[control]].&nbsp; Take cigarettes.&nbsp; At first it was just warning [[labels]].&nbsp; Then, bans on [[t.v.]] [[ads]].&nbsp; Then they required restaurants to have no-smoking ''sections''.&nbsp; Then came the ''bans'' on airplanes, [[schools]], [[workplaces]], ''entire'' restaurants, then bars, ''too''—and now, sometimes, apartments and outdoor ''spaces'', even.
