Just thought I'd let you know what it is that I intend to write about next. You see, my intellectual interests do not lie in the events unfolding in politics today - such events are for the political commentators of the world, not the philosophers. I of course take interest in these events as they do concern my daily life, but if the world is going to change, if human beings are going to allow each other to live freely, than it is the roots of collectivism which must be grasped, not its weeds. Thus, over the next few weeks I am going to address Supreme Court doctrine, i.e. Constitutional law, in respect to the three most fundamental acts of enslavement perpetrated against the American people:
1. The Draft
2. The Income Tax
3. Compulsory Schooling
I am not sure how, or even whether, these issues were ever litigated, but my intuition tells me that Americans would never surrender to such atrocities. And I intend to make those Americans stories known to any person willing to listen.
To be continued...

Be a Light unto Yourself
That which is at rest is easy to grasp.
That which has not yet come about is easy to plan for.
That which is fragile is easily broken.
That which is minute is easily scattered.
Handle things before they arise.
Manage affairs before they are in a mess.
-Lao Tzu
Though I assured myself that this blog's energies would be dedicated to my thoughts on legal theory and juris prudence, since a world of darkness fast approaches, I feel myself obliged to offer light for any wanderer who may happen upon this place.
Materially speaking, the darkness will show itself as a dollar destroyed, a standard of living declined and a government's grip tightened. To protect one's self from this flood of financial ruin, one must build an ark of financial security. This ark should be made of metals free from government whim (THE GOLD STANDARD!) and ownership interests in companies offering goods and services which people truly value. Thus, liquidate dollars before the nations of the world do. Store value outside the U.S. via foreign investment, both in metals and fundamentally sound companies. And, most importantly, cultivate a steady and focused mind.
Though these measures may seem miniscule, in the end they may be the very acts which secure one's livelihood, perhaps even one's life, when tyranny's darkness falls upon us.
