"The Electronic Frontier Foundation and its supporters insist that they are pro-competition but that the biggest threats to free enterprise, and free speech, can be found in a merger of powerful forces in the private and public spheres. … The AT&T case is a typical foundation suit in some respects. It pits the organization and its allies against the might of both the telecommunications industry and the federal government, which has intervened to seek dismissal of the case on the grounds that it would expose military secrets."

"Nanny Statism is commonly thought to be the province of the left. And with good reason. The public health movement that has taken on obesity and alcohol and given us seat belt laws and smoking bans has always carried with it whiffs of socialism. But the right is no better. If leftists don't trust Americans to make our own decisions about what we eat, what we drink, or whether or not to smoke tobacco, conservatives don't trust us to make up our own minds about what transpires in our bedrooms, what music we listen to, what television we watch, what we consume from the Internet, and whether or not we should smoke marijuana."

"Immigration makes immigrants much better off. In the normal debate this fact is not considered to be of great importance--who cares about them? But economists tend not to count some people as worth more than others, especially not if the difference is something so random as where a person was born."

"It is now impossible to argue Republican politicians are any different than Democratic politicians with regard to their intrinsic ideology or their long-term goals for the nation. The intraparty debate merely concerns the speed with which the Constitution is abandoned, the sovereign rights of Man are eliminated and global federalist government is instituted."

"These respectables are simply incapable of imagining that the government they so blindly and enthusiastically support might do anything to harm THEM or, by extension, any other similarly respectable persons in the United States -- clearly, the only people who matter. Some members of the crowd seemed wholly indifferent not only to the fate of the people of Afghanistan and Iraq and to the fate of the men caged at Guantanamo, but also to the fate of any noncitizen anywhere. They have somehow adsorbed the quaint notion that the U.S. Constitution does not apply to noncitizens, even though the Bill of Rights makes no mention of anyone's citizenship status."

"Prisons and jails added more than 1,000 inmates each week for a year, putting almost 2.2 million people, or one in every 136 U.S. residents, behind bars by last summer. The total on June 30, 2005, was 56,428 more than at the same time in 2004, the government reported Sunday. That 2.6 percent increase from mid-2004 to mid-2005 translates into a weekly rise of 1,085 inmates. Of particular note was the gain of 33,539 inmates in jails, the largest increase since 1997, researcher Allen J. Beck said. That was a 4.7 percent growth rate, compared with a 1.6 percent increase in people held in state and federal prisons."

"Mark Salter, a longtime aide and chief of staff to Senator John McCain, posted a response to Jean Rohe's blog entry on the Huffington Post, writing that her speech at the New School university's graduation ceremony last Friday 'succeeded in making [herself] look like an idiot.' Salter writes, of Rohe and her graduating class, that it's 'unlikely any of you will ever posses the [sic] one small fraction of the character of John McCain'." This piece seems to have all the relevant links.

"Bush has stood up for one horrible action after another taken by him and his administration, from lying us into war, to torturing people, to spying on Americans, to whatnot. But when it comes to enforcing anti-bribery, anti-corruption laws against the morally and legally crooked politicians who are close to ruining our system, Bush does not stand up. He backs down. This is moral rot for sure." Congressional outrage over police actions shows incredible hypocrisy when SWAT teams invade citizens homes at will.

"If one were to judge the success of the American constitutional state in limiting state power by the same standards we would apply to a medical procedure, or the success of a business enterprise, we would readily admit to its total failure. The American state has evolved into a thriving contradiction of the announced expectations of a constitutional republic. Washington, D.C., has been a combination slave-market, fencing operation for stolen property, and street-corner gang long before the current gang of racketeers took over."

"When I was no longer primarily my parent's child, I set about doing whatever was necessary to make myself feel safe in the world. I took self-defense classes, I learned to shoot a gun, I studied history to know what to expect in the future. I learned to tell the truth about myself, what I wanted and how I wanted to be treated, whether or not anyone around me liked it (usually not.) I learned to take healthy risks, follow interests that were discouraged by the worker bees around me and to constantly challenge what I thought about myself and the rest of the world. I learned that I could change my place in it any time or many times. I learned to dare to make a fool of myself and laugh at my blunders. I learned that government can't make anyone safe."

"Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the first person to call himself an anarchist, wrote that 'liberty is the mother, not the daughter of order.' Anarchist order is superior to state-enforced order because it is not a system of coercive laws, it is simply how communities of people who know each other decide how to live together. Anarchist order is based on common consent and common sense."

"Nobody can decide what is 'sustainable' for another person. Every action requires a weighing up of costs and benefits. To implement any one person's idea of sustainability on everyone else will result in loss. The idea that people are not able to make these decisions on their own, and require leadership and coercive laws to determine what is best for them, is essentially to implement slavery."

"Mark Twain had it right when he said, 'Nothing so needs changing as other people's habits.' We agree that the world needs to change; however, we can only change ourselves. Indeed, change must begin with us, so change into what you want the world to become."

"Mexico is a democracy, as much as the United States. The government is not repressive. Mexico is not a police state. It is not particularly criminal: Guadalajara is certainly less dangerous than Washington. It is not disease-ridden. I eat in all sorts of restaurants here with no problem. It is not over-regulated and controlled. It is not primitive. It is not a backwater. Mexican big-box stores are indistinguishable from Wal-Mart. The telephones work, cell phones work, broadband is widely available (in my town of 18,000, for example). Guadalajara abounds in book stores and music stores. (Books in Spanish, yes, but everything you've ever heard of, and what do you expect in Mexico? Linear B?)"

"The casual observer might conclude that reducing the amount of classified information in the media might be a good idea. But the revelation of the unconstitutional NSA domestic spying program shows that leaks by conscientious officials can, at times, have positive effects. And the public shouldn't assume that all, or even most, of the information the government shields from public view needs to be secret."

"In Podgorica, people fired celebratory shots in the air and drove up and down the main street, honking and waving the eagle-emblazoned flag used when Montenegro last enjoyed independence, from 1878 to 1918."

"The war criminals in the Bush Regime have dismissed the murders as 'collateral damage,' but they are in fact murders. Otherwise, there would be no criminal investigations, and the Marine commandant would not be burdened with the embarrassment of having to fly to Iraq to lecture US Marines on the lawful use of force. The criminal Bush Regime has now murdered more Iraqis than Saddam [Hussein]. The Bush Regime is also responsible for 20,000 US casualties (dead, maimed for life, and wounded)."

"According to the documents' introduction, which Wired News reported was written by Klein, that door concealed 'computer gear for a government spy operation ... only people with security clearance from the National Security Agency can enter this room.' Behind the door, according to the documents, was a 24-by-48-foot room containing servers, routers and an industrial-size air conditioner. High-speed fiber-optic circuits are routed from AT&T's backbone servers to the room, where the documents suggest a special 'splitter' routes part of the light signal to a device designed to collect and analyze high-speed and high-volume data."

"Presidents of both parties tend to conflate threats to their own power with threats to the nation. Likewise, intelligence agencies have long been known to classify information for reasons unrelated to national security, even to the point of trying to withdraw material that was publicly available for years. When the executive branch decides what information is secret and whether any given person should be prosecuted for discussing it, the potential chilling effect on reporting and public debate is enormous."
http://www.reason.com/sullum/052406.shtml
"Freedom of expression still exists in America, but only on behalf of lies. Truth is forbidden, except on the Internet. The Internet is still free, because Americans are accustomed to believing what they hear on TV and read in the news columns of newspapers, whereas the Internet is new and iffy to most Americans and of less concern to the government. The mainstream media, which serves as a government propaganda organ, and the Internet are two parallel universes."
http://www.antiwar.com/roberts/?articleid=9019
"The same neocons who lied us into war with Iraq are now trying for a repeat: they hope to lure us into a conflict with Iran, on the strength of dubious war propaganda and clearly phony 'intelligence' about Iran's alleged nukes. You would think that the American people, once burned, would have learned -- but what the neocons are counting on is the famous aphorism of P.T. Barnum to the effect that no one ever went broke overestimating the gullibility of the American people."
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=9032
"It's only three more years. That is the coldly comforting phrase used by people who can't wait until our destructive, intellectually limited president has permanently gone fishing. But the changes that George W. Bush has made to our nation's constitutional firmament may not depart with the first family's bags. His disregard for the separation of powers has so dramatically distorted the office of the president that he may have engineered a turning point in American history."
http://www.sptimes.com/2006/05/21/Columns/President_grabs_power.shtml
"Didn't Gen. Hayden lead the NSA before and during 9-11? How could anyone who held a high position in national security on that day be even considered for further office? Richard Reeves wrote that if 9-11 had happened in Japan, there would be no one left in the government to turn off the lights. Let us accept that shame is not in our DNA. Corporate executives layoff [people], export jobs, make losses, all while raising their own salaries and pensions. A leader who presided over two national disasters continues along as if he has invented sunlight. A Congress which signed on to starting an [unprovoked] war cannot bring itself to do anything to end the catastrophe it has wrought."
http://njn-blogogram.blogspot.com/2006/05/democrats-and-flight-from-9-11.html
"But I find one argument to be very compelling for conservatives of almost all stripes, and that's Bush's overturning or revoking or ignoring of over 750 acts passed by Congress during his two terms of office. When I point out to these people that if Bush is allowed to invalidate acts of Congress with the stroke of a pen with a claim that he has special powers in his self-defined role as Commander in Chief, then the next president, who could well be a Democrat-indeed who could be (gasp!) Al Gore, John Kerry or, god forbid, that arch-demon of the conservative firmament, Hillary Clinton, they suddenly sit up and pay attention."
http://www.counterpunch.org/lindorff05242006.html
"The particular claims of the environmental alarmists can be refuted with economic argument and readily available data. This is not to say that there is no dirty air or water in this place or that. But it is to say that there is no global crisis, and it is to say further that the answer to local problems is economic freedom, which leads to wealth and environmental cleanup."
http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0602b.asp
"Let's allow the North American Free Trade Agreement to live up to its promise and permit citizens of Canada, the United States and Mexico to move and work freely among the three countries. If that sounds crazy, it's only because a century's worth of regulatory corrosion and toxic bureaucracy have made us forget that this is how things used to be."
"I believe that most social problems arise from violence or other violations of individual rights. By treating all individuals as equal under laws that protect their person and property, social problems shrink. By punishing or rewarding people according to their conduct and not their racial identity, racism shrinks."
http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,196686,00.html
"It's really quite logical. People who draw their livelihoods from government schooling programs have huge incentives to exert political pressure aimed at maximizing their income and freedom. In contrast, while they certainly care about education, the taxpayers footing the bills can't possibly match the vested interests' lobbying intensity. Taxpayers have far too many special interests to fight beyond just those in education to be able to concentrate on any one or two."

"In a truly free market, Network Neutrality would not be necessary, as good old American competition would drive the very best service up the ladder of success. But as long as government is setting the rules for a handful of companies, the rules have to include statutory Network Neutrality to ensure those companies can't unilaterally shut down what the innovators are doing."

"The main engine of this mass incarceration has been the 35-year 'war on drugs': a spurious battle against an abstract noun that provides an endless fount of profits, payoffs and power for the politically connected while only worsening the problem it purports to address -- just like the 'war on terror.' The 'war on drugs' has in fact been the most effective assault on an underclass since Stalin's campaign against the kulaks."
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig7/floyd4.html
"Most Americans continue to view their federal government as a beloved parent, one who never lies to them; who takes care of them and gives them 'freedom' in the form of welfare, health care, Social Security, education, grants, subsidies, and protection from drug dealers, immigrants, terrorists, and oil companies; and who is devoted to spreading freedom and democracy around the world. Most of the rest of the world sees the reality -- an increasingly oppressive and military-oriented government whose cruel and brutal foreign policies have engendered deep-seated anger and hatred...."
http://www.fff.org/comment/com0605h.asp
"Many San Francisco Bay Area counties have permanently protected more acres as open space than they have made available for urban development. When such actions make it impossible for middle-class families, much less low-income families, to afford their own homes, they represent a sad distortion of social priorities."
http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=1732
"In other words, we know that the 'war on terror' launched after 9/11 dovetailed perfectly with the announced geopolitical ambitions of the Bush Faction--and with the announced geopolitical ambitions of al Qaeda. Both wanted a global conflict--which only the other could provide. Bush gave bin Laden what he wanted; bin Laden gave the Bush Faction what it wanted. Each fresh atrocity on both sides only strengthens this bond. Whether this unholy union was an arranged marriage or an amazing coincidence (or some shading in between) is something we will probably never know. But what matters most now is ending the so-called 'war on terror,' this dance of death led by two small factions whose ambitions and principles are depraved, inhuman and obscene."
http://www.counterpunch.org/floyd05222006.html
"The army of a constitutional republic, charged as it is with employing the use of defensive force, is qualitatively different from the legions of Empire, which are constantly mobilized in order to extend the far frontiers of the American Imperium. The much-heralded 'transformation' of the U.S. military presided over by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is a self-conscious turn in the latter direction."
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=9020
"President's Day itself isn't one to honor all the Presidents, only Washington and Lincoln, who were noted for building the nation through war. Indeed, war is the reason for the other holidays as well. War is the tie that binds the Union together. It was created through war, expanded through war, was 'preserved' through war, and became a global empire through military force."
http://www.partialobserver.com/article.cfm?id=1848
"Like these older cases, today's government surveillance issue features apparatus created for national security reaching beyond original purposes. Besides the NSA issue there is the Pentagon's 'Talon' program, intended for base security, that has collected data on antiwar individuals and groups, and then failed to purge the information from its files. The FBI has monitored mosques.... The Justice Department has engaged in runaway prosecutions of trumped-up terrorism charges.... Local police forces--and the FBI, again--have infiltrated meetings, taken pictures of protests and asked employers about individuals expressing political views protected by the First Amendment."

"It was a familiar time. It was a time of a Republican administration waging an unpopular war. It was a war some Democrats said they opposed but seemed to do very little to stop. Inflation was starting to become a problem. America's allies thought our president's economic and political polices were flawed and they were often ridiculed. Anti-Americanism was popular. The Republican president infrequently disagreed with Democrats about the welfare state. Stories from today's newspapers? Not exactly."

"Wollstonecraft is a founding mother of feminism. Her most famous work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), is widely viewed as the first great feminist treatise. She wrote in the classical liberal tradition, which promoted individual rights, especially against the restrictions of political power. "
http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0602f.asp
"The earliest documented civilization in history arose in Sumer around 6,500 years ago among a people who were apparently indigenous to the region. Here were the beginnings of many things, including writing, religion, slavery, trade, money, and the city-state. Here the natural human inclination to use force to satisfy desire was codified as a state monopoly, and elevated in status by many fanciful myths that we continue to revere to this day. Here political government was born."

"Other critics complain about The Lost City’s length, overemphasis on a forbidden love affair, Bill Murray's unfocused character, or some of Andy Garcia's seemingly narcissistic scenes, and perhaps some of these critiques have merit. But where the movie is extremely accurate is in portraying the lives, thoughts, hopes, and disappointments of the majority of Cubans during those turbulent times."
http://www.strike-the-root.com/61/antunez/antunez6.html
"According to the Times, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Michael Hagee, flew to Iraq to lecture the troops on adhering to the Geneva Conventions and rules of engagement. But why would the troops respect the rules of engagement when the President, Vice President, and Secretary of Defense are hell-bent on reserving the right to torture? When the Attorney General refers to the Geneva Conventions as 'quaint'? When the Administration recklessly asserts that it can do whatever it wants to do so long as-in its opinion--it is acting to protect the American people?"

"Writing about the Zacarias Moussaoui case in the Washington Times, Suzanne Fields displays one of the major maladies that typify conservatives -- their propensity to create their own realities with respect to foreign policy in order to avoid confronting the harsh consequences of U.S. foreign policy, especially in the Middle East."

"What are national leaders to do when they want to thoroughly discredit another country or mount an attack when a provocation is lacking? 'Casus belli' is defined in my dictionary as (1) 'an event or combination of events which is a cause of war, or (2) may be alleged as a justification of war.' So the time-honored answer is: If you don't have a casus belli, go for option 2 and invent one."

"To examine his career is to examine the history of jazz from the mid-'40s to the early '90s, since he was in the thick of almost every important innovation and stylistic development in the music during that period, and he often led the way in those changes, both with his own performances and recordings and by choosing sidemen and collaborators who forged the new directions."

"The essence of government is the right to obey a different set of laws from that which prevails in the rest of society. What we call the rule of law is really the rule of two laws: one for the state and one for everyone else. Theft is illegal but taxation is not. Kidnapping is illegal but stop-loss orders are not. Counterfeiting is illegal but inflating the money supply is not. Lying about its budget is all in a day's work for the government, but the business that does that is shut down."

"An abstraction, such as a country, doesn't make decisions. It requires prodigious evasion to take the self-serving, log-rolling, rent-seeking, voter-pandering, incumbent-protecting activities of a gaggle of legislators, who don't even read the bills they vote on, for the decision-making of The Country. Considering the long and winding road from an election of a congressman to the passage of an immigration bill, it's laughable to claim that the decision over who may enter the country lies in the hands of the American citizenry."

"No, I don't think patriotism is blind support of a regime. To me, that is the definition of cowardice. Nor will I support troops with ribbons on my car, (neither of which I own). I will, however, support that sense of justice and courage in any troop that makes the best of a bad situation, a hundred different ways on a thousand different days. Whenever a soldier refuses to pull the trigger or drop a bomb on people who never did him any wrong, he'll have my support...."

"Naturally, government education officials can't understand the fact that government control of education is not the solution, it is the problem. Over the past fifty years, federal, state, and city governments have spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to 'fix' the public schools. They have failed, time and again. For example, in July, 2005, the Congress-mandated National Assessment of Education Progress showed that high-school students' dismal reading skills have not improved since 1999. High-school drop-out rates in inner-city, low-income minority areas range from 30 percent to over 50 percent. High-school dropouts are far more likely to end up in prison during their lifetimes."

"For its next trick, maybe the U.S. Senate will pass a law regulating the flight patterns of houseflies. That would be about as effective as something senators passed last week.
