Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

Default Sigh....

The government can do anything it wants, and make anyone it wants stop talking, legally or illegally.

Lets look at the www.raisethefirst.com case. If the government wanted, it could plant fake evidence against the defendant, if it hasn't already.

People can't do a damn thing about it either. No one will listen to the people that get screwed, people just think it isn't their problem. We have to stick up for other people. If we don't, no one will stick up for us.

Everythings getting so fake. People aren't truly living. What ever happened to compassion? Kindness? Doing whats morally right?

It seems like people are more concerned with being "right" legally, than being truly right as a person.

Shouldn't we truly believe the philosophy behind laws, not the actual law? People shouldn't steal because it's against the "law", they shouldn't because it isn't right.

Thanks for listening to my rant over random things.

First off, if you're down with anarchy, check out a site that has at least logically considered anarchy - www.anti-state.com

I'm afraid they never existed. People were always the same hypocritical bitches as they are now.

I like the way that most of the fucking idiots in there believe they are free. It's cute. I also like the way they think they are pursuing the freedom of others - yet unless you eat McDonalds, drink CocaCola (and enjoy) and wearfucking stupid big hat then you are somehow less of a person and need to be "liberated" until you love eating your Chinese takeaway in your stupidly long and polluting car.

Gross - anarcho-capitalism.

Why don't you go read some Ayn Rand, and sully no more the name of anarchism.
