The 33 Questions | Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

[mybabysgotthebends]

Is the music playing at the beginning "Ha Tikvah", the Israeli national anthem? It really sounds just like it!

[PecaniAnna]

He just agree with him in all issues....

[Samsgarden]

Jeffrey Tucker reminds me of Pee Wee Herman

[Krifko]

Could someone please tell me the name of the opening composition? I feel that I know it but I can't remember the name. It's torture!! ;-) Thanks!

[jpschubbs]

Why didn't Jeff let Tom talk about Jury Nullification? It seems like Jeff wanted to jump right over that issue. Weird.

[Pdrum2]

You can't enforce greed. It's not just capitalist that can be greedy its everyone, look at all the morons taking government checks so they can go have a spending spree.

[tziemerspurs4ever]

wow this is brilliant

[MeanEyedCats]

Two awesome economists, and hardcore traddy Catholics. :D My two favourite people.

[TheAttackRat]

T Wodds and Peter Schiff are my favourite Austrian economic advocates.

[Pdrum2]

@TheAttackRat Me too.

[TheAttackRat]

haha Tucker.

Austrian Economics > Keynesian Economics

Vote Ron Paul 2012

[songczar]

Thomas Woods is a bad ass! We need to take back control legally and with force! Demand that your State representatives insist on State nullification when it comes to corrupt edits being imposed on the citizenry by the national government!

[geehuckwow]

Cool bow tie!

[NARCOPOLO76]

Tom woods is funny as hell!

[XanatharEye]

This book is so hardcore, I reference it all the time. The Old West stuff more than anything.

[emichik86]

Big corps that have money to lobby our politicians are running the country.

[robertocarlos741]

Great interview. Thanks

[tomneuville1982]

Great tips for everyone!

Tks.

[romaricmen]

I have watched many clip fr youtube.

This one is very good.

[122Diegoforlan]

Amazing clip. I hear many times.

Tks again.

[rodriguezmy2982]

I have watched many clip fr youtube.

This one is very good.

[Boonamal]

Jeffrey Tucker looks like a gentile Bruce Willis.

[libralssuck]

@Boonamal More like a young up class Tim Curry .... lol

[fabioborini21]

Thank you so much, this is absolutely excellent and is a definite must see for grads. I hear your video and I feel so much more confident now and I was compelled to express my thanks.

[kachalin99]

Very useful content. Thank you very much.

Please take some time to keep posting.

[Tombarca43]

Thanks to your interview tips.

Very nice, simple and deadly effective.

[ronaldotom75]

Thank you very much about your video. They helped me a lot.

[kupudavid]

I really like the tips and info your giving out. I've already learned a lot from you! more power!

[jamesmilner00]

Very useful content. Thank you very much. Just one small problem is the beginning but overall its useful.

[fabregas8998]

I got my job in a very competitive field about 1.5 years ago thanks to your interview tips.

Very nice, simple and deadly effective.

[cocedaysi]

Your insight is great - I for one would really appreciate some EXTENDED videos about interview process and other similar advice.

[torres2019]

Thank you so much, this is absolutely excellent and is a definite must see for grads. I hear your video and I feel so much more confident now and I was compelled to express my thanks.

[rerevisionist]

Tucker is too lightweight - he doesn't seem to know anything, and can't steer an interview.  I don't think he even looked in Wood's book.

[johnidavey]

dude, Tom Woods Jr. is the shit.

[secretbonus]

33 degrees of freemasonry

[brandonwray71]

wow tom 32 thousand views we are turning this around would you ever have imagined. Restore the Republic. You say thank you Ron Paul, and I say thank you Tom Woods

[andrewh817]

Tom Woods on point as always.

[CrossFit1776]

Who doesnt love the classical liberal tradition?

Oh that crazy Tom Woods! And why does Jeff Tucker just seem like a cool guy? :)

[ourmanthejoker]

yes, i love watching and listening to jeff tucker. he cracks me up

[surGeonGG]

This Tucker guy is peculiar, but in a very cool and likable way. Excellent interview.

[Blucius13]

Him and Rockwell are in the closet.

[surGeonGG]

Together? Oh my.

[Blucius13]

Perhaps...

[alistairproductions]

@surGeonGG he does seem odd. whatever!

[HereticNix]

I don't know this Tucker fella, bet he seems to be some historically adept american version of Bruno dressed like someone from the Great Gatsby

[bookbinder66]

they would love the 33 thing , the hes a mason buzz lol go tom keeep fighting

[BlueRaven89]

Good job at the Congressional hearing Mr Woods! I'm looking for the article you recommended by Lawrence White, about how the Fed bought the economics profession.

[overdark666]

19:42 Is Tucker wearing one of those Predator cloak things?

[migkillertwo]

"The Right is pro-war and the left is anti-war"

This is actually a very new paradigm in american culture. By and large, throughout american history, it has been the Democratic party who has supported wars. Remember Vietnam? It was Democrats (Johnson) advocating it, and it was a Republican president (Nixon) who got us out.

[luciusETRUR]

That's only true of the 20th century.. the Republican party started the Civil War and the Spanish-American war, and the Democrats had more to say in the Mexican-American war.

[vinnykster]

Foreign Intervention has NEVER been a traditional Republican position- and I mean like RON PAUL - Constitutoinal Republic Republican not bs neocons and chickenhawks .. chickenhawks actually were spawned out of democratic party. the Founders like Jefferson were for Peace, HOnest Friendship and Commerce with all nations -Entangling Alliances with none. That is what the Rep position should always be otherwise they're really not a rep. That all said the Left Right paradigm is FALSE

[luciusETRUR]

Republican Party intervened when the South constitutionally tried to secede from the Union. Also, the Democratic Party really was a party of conservatism until the majority of "rebels" were abolished from political office.

[kev3d]

Yes and no, the Union sprang war onto the south not after secession, but after the Confederacy refused to compensate the Union for "Federal" military bases that dotted the south. The Confederacy thought the land and assets belonged the them, the Union believed the reverse. Hence the Confederates attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina and the game was afoot.

[D0g63rt]

" Hence the Confederates attacked"

Hmmm. I must be missing something.

[JakeTheShake]

@kev3d If the South was still part of the Union, why would they have attacked Fort Sumter? They would have been attacking their own military installment.

[kev3d]

@JakeTheShake Obviously the Confederates did not see it that way and that's how wars often begin. The union initially ceded the states but continued to lay claim to military installments, which the Confederacy did not recognize and sought to take the forts they believed were theirs.

[D0g63rt]

Jefferson actually pushed for military intervention in the Barbados area because of the Ottoman Empire's slave trafficking gig. It was limited intervention though and he sought policy change as opposed to regime change. Limited war as with limited government.

[josda1000]

it doesn't matter either way. point is, the wars are wrong and we need to get out. who cares about the parties? i mean, really...

[pretorious700]

"who cares about the parties?'

Surely not the young men and women giving their lives and health.

[Guest655321]

So prophetic at the end about republicans finding their roots just to be contrarian.

[TheLibertyTube]

Thank you very much for the great effort, for the great level of knowledge put in this book and others from Prof. Woods.

I love the argumentation and "down-to-earth" attitude you have Sir!

Keep it on!

[rescuemay]

Mises Institute is so great. Thanks for putting up this video! Love it!

[Xakanis]

I think Ron will need to play politics a little more and soften some of his stances if he is to be a major challenger in the 2012 election-which is unfortunate as most of what he says makes sense.

[pretorious700]

If you think Ron Paul is going to "soften" his "stances" you don't know anything about him....He actually has integrity, not "stances".

[Interkomkomind]

@pretorious700 no, not true. If he had any form of integrity towards truth, evidence, logic and the scientific method, then why would he be a christian? And even an ignorant kind of christian! He has prejudices against gays and abortion clinics and has no sense of universal moral.

He is the best option, but when the best option is getting skullfucked to dead instead of being maimed piece by piece, then the better option would be to completely abstain from voting

[gabon8tor]

@Interkomkomind His personal opinions are not important... his view on personal freedom is what is important

[ftorresgamez]

Jeez, Jeffrey Tucker looks like an Old Southern Plantation Owner with that getup and hairdo! The only speck of modernity is the Mises wristband he is clearly wearing.

Nevertheless, he is one outstanding writer and economist.

[GuinnyIre]

Great Video, Jeff, I'll take the time to watch for others. One point that bothered me. I'd like to see Mr. Woods further develop as to why he gives a pass to President Lincoln's wartime acts as occurring in a very unique time and not giving former President Bush the same.

[tewj57]

He doesn't give Lincoln a "pass."

[hYatesSA]

I would love to see a conversation between John C. Calhoun and Tom Woods.

[supruzr]

You get the shovel and I'll get the chloroform.

[naganokumas]

Go to 14:00.

[naganokumas]

S. B. Fuller is someone I'd like to know more about.

Forgive me, but it sounds like a story that would make a great movie.

[ftorresgamez]

"S. B. Fuller is someone I'd like to know more about."

Me, too. His story is fascinating - but the NAACP would have none of it - does not fit its "victimcrat" mentality.

[naganokumas]

The 'victimcrat' mentality is noticed.

But hopefully an 'achievercrat' mentality might get its day.

Having, finally, a 'black' President, might help.

A movie about S.B. Fuller might help on this front, too.

How much influence does the NAACP have?

I'm an Australian, from Darwin, currently living in Japan.

I have my own appreciations and observances on things.

Forgive my distance from the issues there.

[ftorresgamez]

There could be more appreciation for a movie about S. B. Fuller. Remember "The Pursuit of Happyness" (typo is from the original title)? People are more receptive to that message. He should inspire everyone, not just blacks. Problem is: S.B. Fuller commented time ago that blacks should stop blaming others and work hard for their goals. That did not sit well with black leaders, politicians and the NAACP. He is still not well regarded by the black intelligentsia.

[naganokumas]

It sounds more and more like a story that should be told.

[markers920]

Hey, 27 is a power of a prime! 33 is a dumb number.

[ronmamita]

Muddy water is good when you consider that stereotype is not the most useful tool for understanding. Furthermore, I don't fit my views in any single political camp and thus remain a "non-political" party registered voter. I endorse this statement: "The Power is in the hands of the people; they have only but to take it."

LOVE & Peace

[jburke8491]

great video. Woods is a great representative.

And to our credit many interesting, thought provoking comments!

[jdt2003]

So I guess Ron Paul was right.

[Reedmylips7]

Why is this video no longer available???

[tewj57]

Must have been a fluke. It's available now.

[cambo61]

I was a right-wing conservative sheep. The primaries intoduced me to Ron Paul. I read the Revolution. That lead me to Bastiat, Hayek, Mises, Rothbard, and now Woods. So much more to learn and so little time.

Tom is a riot! He puts focus on important ideas and with humor too.

What he says about reaching people at 25:37 worked. That's how I've become interested.

[utubehayter]

Welcome to the ideas of no sides. No lefts, no rights, no ups, no downs, no forwards(progressives) and no conservatives(regressives).

[DownWithBrzezinski]

Ha ha ha!!! Yeah, I know what that's like. I used to think I was a "liberal". Then I learned about "paleo-conservatism" through Ron Paul and "classical liberalism" through Hayek.

Now I don't know what to call myself, but I'm DEFINITELY alot more enlightened than I was two years ago!

My two favorite books are Hayek's 'Road To Serfdom' and John Taylor Gatto's 'The Underground History of American Education'. I recommend them to everybody. ;)

[supruzr]

Having read Gatto's book, it is profoundly lacking in solid sourcing and scholarship. Half of it is anecdotes about his own life. His personal understanding of world history can be called imaginative. Particularly, his claims about ancient Greece are misunderstandings of reality at best or fabrications at worst. He also posits what is essentially a "vast right-wing conspiracy", and paints 19th century Prussians as mindless zombies assembled in factories.

[tewj57]

What in the world are you talking about? This interview has nothing to do with anyone named Gatto.

[ftorresgamez]

I recommend to you: "Economics for Real People" by Gene Callahan - you can download it for free. "I, Pencil", by Leonard Reed. "The Left, The Right and the State" by Llewellyn Rockwell. "Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics" by Prof. George Reisman (huge opus, but easy to read and has everything). You can upgrade to "Man, Economy and State" by Murray Rothbard. Also, "Socialism" by Ludwig von Mises - this book explains why Socialism does NOT work, and why middle-of-the-road leads to Socialism.

[PeaceLoveGoddess]

Socialism has gotten such a bad rap, but no-one agrees what socialism really is. Socialism is NOT communism. It IS a political and economic structure which puts the NEEDS of people first (not necessarily the WANTS) and in an ideal society ensures that the individual's rights and well-being trump all other rights, including and especially the rights of government and corporations. Why is that so scary to so many people????

[ftorresgamez]

"It IS a political and economic structure which puts the NEEDS of people first (not necessarily the WANTS)"

There is a problem with your definition - who can decide what are needs and what are wants, if not the very individuals that make those valuations? Socialist thinkers readily assume that there can be a clear and objective differentiation between needs and wants, but if inquiring deeply enough, those "objective" differentiations end up being SUBJECTIVE (depending on the thinker)!

[ftorresgamez]

"in an ideal society ensures that the individual's rights and well-being trump all other rights,"

Only individuals have rights, PLG, because there is nothing else EXCEPT individuals stepping on this Earth. The problem with socialism is that the above is contrary to the concept of socialism, mainly placing the group above the individual, with such rights as property rights being trumped. It cannot be in any other way, otherwise it would NOT be Socialism.

[ftorresgamez]

Lastly, it is a mistake to think that people's needs are NOT addressed by free people acting freely to pursuit their interests. it is as simple as this: If people's needs AND wants are not addressed by SOMEONE, people will take their business somewhere else. This INCENTIVE is what puts the meat and potatoes on the plate, and not simply the kindness of the butcher or the potato farmer. Under Socialism, it is the central gov. purportedly deciding for the group, that makes these decisions.

[PeaceLoveGoddess]

Thank-you but I think we've all been conditioned to believe that a capitalist/corporatist society is the best solution to meeting the needs of individuals. One only has to look at third world countries to realize that the corporate/profit incentive seeks only to maximize the corporations's wealth and then externalize any environmental damage to the rest of society. It's incredibly naive to put faith in a system which has produced our current culture of corporate greed. There has to be a balance.

[ftorresgamez]

"I think we've all been conditioned to believe that a capitalist/corporatist society is the best solution to meeting the needs of individuals."

Actually, the reverse is true: All my schooling years were nothing if not an indoctrination into state socialism. There is no need to brainwash people regarding free market economics - because it works. Corporativism is another matter, because that is actually a Big Business-Big State relationship, or fascism, that has nothing to do with markets.

[ftorresgamez]

You also misunderstand totally what happens in 3rd world countries (I come from Mexico, so I know) The problem is not corporations or "greed", but lack of property rights. People cannot simply plan and risk investing for the future because their government could decide to take everything tomorrow. Big Corporations are found in just a few countries, and if their greed was a cause for poverty, then the developed countries should be cesspools and not developed countries.

[ftorresgamez]

"It's incredibly naive to put faith in a system which has produced our current culture of corporate greed. "

Lastly, about greed: Blaming "greed" for things like the current meltdown is akin to blaming gravity for plane crashes. People ARE greedy, and greed is what drives everyone to prosper and progress. What keeps greed at bay is RISK AVERSION. However, the meddling in the market changes the balance between risk aversion and greed, creating the very problems we are seeing now.

[KraljevicPavle]

Tell her, Comrade! Hero of the Market!

But i don't like the greed part. Not the function, the terminology. One of the few decent things Friedman did was make the distinction between greed and personal interest. I think people follow PERSONAL INTEREST, not greed - wanting to earn a profit to improve your own condition or help your family is not greed, and i want a free market that allows me to do this.

[ftorresgamez]

The problem is that what for many would be personal interest, for some it is "greed". So let's call it "greed" but also let's define it correctly, not as a pathology but as a very important human component that gives us the drive to progress. One also has to indicate that greed, as with everything, can lead you to bad decisions if unchecked by reason, in the form of RISK AVERSION. What governments have done with regulations and bailouts is to reduce Risk Aversion and create Moral Hazard.

[highervis]

Most people are not greedy. Greed is the extreme end of desire. Like most people would like to be billionaires but few are willing to lie, cheat and kill to get it because they aren't greedy enough.

[ftorresgamez]

@highervis,

You are confusing being greedy with being criminal. These terms are NOT interchangeable. A person may be motivated by greed to kill or steal, but that makes him a CRIMINAL, not simply or only a greedy person nor an example of a greedy person. Greed is what drives us, otherwise we would be like PLANTS - passive, no drive, no motivation.

[coturnix19]

@ftorresgamez and btw, greed is not an opposite of altruism, people can be greedy most of the time, and be altruistic sometimes. I believe it is a sense of moral reward that drives altruism in people, and when people are coerced into helping others, no moral satisfaction remains, yet greed is amplified...

[gergenheimer]

@coturnix19 What's more, a person can be greedy and still benefit his fellow man in the process of pursuing this greed - Thomas Edison was a mean, ruthless S.O.B., yet the electric light bulb has been more beneficial to humanity than any altruistic, "selfless" programs I can think of.

[RKAddict101]

@ftorresgamez That's a really beautiful way to put it.

[fanadfilms]

@ftorresgamez All corporations are greedy. It's okay to be greedy. I'm greedy. However, it's when the use government to defeat their competition that things go wrong.

[fntime]

Ronald Reagan, although a conservative, was

very close to the libetarian movement. He wrote quite a few articles for Reason Magazine

in the 1970's.

[supruzr]

And then when he became president he threw all that totally out the window and implemented terrible FDR-esque policies and TOLD everyone they were geared toward reducing government.

[ftorresgamez]

"And then when he [Reagan] became president he threw [his Libertarianism] totally out the window and implemented terrible FDR-esque policies"

Absolutely true. Murray Rothbard called his bluff and considered Reagan a closet liberal - he did nothing to reduce the size of government. The only "good" thing he did was to lower the tax rate BUT he closed very important loopholes in the code, amounting to ALMOST no tax reduction! He was NOT a true conservative, sorry to say.

[supruzr]

Reagan didn't actually lower the tax rate except on paper. His tax reductions were calculated to alter the tax brackets in such a way that more people would have to pay more. The net tax revenue under Reagan's "tax cut" policy actually went up, and most people paid more.

[Invirtuo]

Stop Reagan bashing! his halt of statism is better than say Obama

[Hardryv]

There hasn't been a 'conservative' Republican since Barry Goldwater, and before you dispute that I invite to freshen your understanding of what 'conservative' means. However, Republicans sure do .love. the sound of the word...

Sadly the Republican party has gotten too far from it's more libertarian roots, and these days it's killing them. Our nation (U.S.) would do well to drop both the Democrats and the Republicans and get back to a nice, comfy, fore-father-ish, libertarian way of thinking.

[ftorresgamez]

Agree. "Conservatism" should mean classical liberalism - small government, free markets, free to pursuit your interests. Instead, "conservatives" today are Big Government lovers especially when it comes to foreign policy and military expenditures. So called liberals are Big Government lovers when it comes to domestic intrusions of our lives and freedoms. Either way, both "conservatives" and liberals spend money like teenagers with a freshly minted credit card.

[spawk1993]

"There hasn't been a 'conservative' Republican since Barry Goldwater" ? Ron paul , gold water jr (lol)

[NSResponder]

I wish Ron had tried a presidential run 20 years ago. His campaign put a lot of things back on the agenda that had been given up as lost causes for far too long.

-jcr

[soundmoneyfan]

haha, he ran as a libertarian in 1988, 20 years ago. people preferred the trilateral commission leader George H.W. Bush.

[Krampfarsch]

yes, but in those days there was just powerfull mainstream media and no internet and your economy was in a much better shape.

hopefully the internet will help him even more in 2012 if he runs

[KagarBeardtooth]

I wish he was 20 years younger

[kusari86]

read ''The Revolution'' and discovered Mises .

[harryogre]

I'm not aware of a libertarian alive today that can articulate the libertarian view any better than Tom Woods.

Great Video.

46:33 well spent!

[Omnis2]

It's such a delight to hear Tom Woods speak.

[Honkyrappa]

lol

[CurtShaw22]

And how he crosses his legs too

[Zgoalie18]

Tucker mentions that Hayek advocate the breakup of germany back into small tiny states. Does anyone know where Hayek said that? Thanks

[highonhayek]

Ron Paul did something that only Milton Friedman came close to... he made free-market economics cool :)

[PleaseNoPolitics]

Thank God!

[JakeTheShake]

@highonhayek I didn't know Freidman was a free-market guy. I thought he was a monetarist that supported central banking and government control of currency. I'll have to look more deeply into his writings. I'm not all that familiar with his body of work.

[highonhayek]

@JakeTheShake Holy crap, I wrote that two years ago! I would've sworn it was not more than a few months. Damn, time is flying.

Anyway, I think that Friedman advocated the abolition of the federal reserve on a few occasions. Just because he favored a method of increasing the supply of fiat paper over another method of increasing the supply of fiat paper does not mean that his ultimate desire would have been a return to private, competing currency.

Someone put me in my place if I'm wrong.

[gauharjk]

Mises Institute should thank Ron Paul, who has been the principal proponent of Austrian Theory of Economics. Thats the reason why I'm listening...

[marxbitesall]

Hey Curt! I was banned from Digg for disseminationg too much mises and Ron Paul I guess. Anti-free speech gestapo sobs!

A couple cryptic "the force is strong with you" messages - the unable to log in or post!

Mises is truly THE Source for truth about history and economics compared to the self promoting sybiotic drivel of lies of paid govt and media apologists.

Mises rules!! Ron Paul 2008!!

[pcg2105]

Oh, that we had an army of Tom Woods!!!

[instruisto]

Great video -- I wish the Mises Institute would produce curriculum for middle and high school students.

[lukeev]

That would indeed be awesome.

[LiptonGuy]

33 because Larry Bird wore 33

[deyoungaza]

"The mainstream Left was overwhelmingly in favor of World War I"? How about the very popular socialist Eugene V. Debs? The Feds locked him up for his vocal opposition to the war, and he ran for president in 1920 from prison.

[tewj57]

Simple: Debs was an exception. So was Jane Addams. "Overwhelmingly in favor" does not mean "exclusively in favor." Read something on the subject. Read Forcey's history of the New Republic, Gamble on religious leaders, etc. The mainstream left was all for the war.

[deyoungaza]

Too busy with Maimonides just now to spend too much time on WWI. It's just that my granddaddy was a big Debs fan and I happened to know that he was (a) a Lefty, (2) very anti-war, (3) pretty popular. As for the rest of the Left, I'll take Rothbard's & your word for it. It fits in with their general weltanschauung.

[ftorresgamez]

There were indeed leftist people very much against WWI but the majority of Progressive leaders rubbed their hands at the opportunity to impose a command-and-control type of society with the help of the War. There were also MANY conservative (i.e. classical liberal) intellectuals and politicians very much against the entry of the US in the European war, today misrepresented as "Isolationists". You can find out more in Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism".

[CurtHowland]

The most astounding thing about these Mises (dot) org historical works is just how wrong the usual assumptions about American history are. Like the "wild" west actually being very peaceful.

[thorsmitersaw]

the states grasp upon history is a grasp upon our childrens very minds.

[Tasadaru]

Remember to donate to Ron Paul on the 5th of November. A day that all of us will always remember. Don't give up the fight true patriots of America, or else it's bust forever!

[Greezbhal]

Excellent vid. Very informative.

[JohnDrake165]

Great video. As a retired public school teacher, I remember trying to teach some economic, business, and technological history of the United States in my Middle School Classes.

For undergraduates I recommend they see if The Hagley Foundation at the University of Delaware would be a Graduate programme they might be interested in.

[GabeTheArchAngel]

I am a Anti-War Paleoconservative

[beetleborg72]

Very insightful video. Looks like I have some reading to do.

[Jinchii]

Is it possible that the people who came up with the title "33 Questions About American History" thought about Freemasonry and its highest degree?

[1tinsoldier]

Loved every minute of this. Thank you.

[noxtwilight]

VitaminWater has SAVED me from Soda!! I feel so much better. Practically the only product I would EVER make such an off topic statement about :)

Awesome interview by the way, thank you so much for posting these, this one was especially easy to understand for us lay people, interesting and informative and best of all education about some pretty depressing topics given the state of our country in a very non-depressing way.

More please!!

[Nielsio]

It's kinda funny how you guys stay so 'moderate'. I mean, the state is obviously a criminal gang, but I see how you guys can't state things like that and prefer to be more agreeable.

[velation]

A lot of times libertarians have this manner as if they are, when they're talking about the rightful powers of the state, actually talking from the hypothetical position that the state has a right to any powers at all over and above those of its citizens. It seems a shame to me that so many libertarians should come so far only to baulk at the last hurdle to intellectual honesty.

[thorsmitersaw]

American 'libertarians' need to let go of the state. It is contrary to non-aggression to support it.

[Zeldovich]

Libertarian and pacifist are two different things. I'm pacifist, and hence favor "opt-out" options with respect to citizen ship and non-user fee taxes.

[CurtHowland]

It's not a matter of staying agreeable. It's a matter of not alienating the audience before they have heard the facts.

[lukeev]

Uh oh, don't mentioned the big 'A' word!!! ;-)

[bbburton]

More, please.

[sLeepPastNooN]

This is better than anything on TV, plus my reading list is growing. Thank You!

[brainpolice2]

Keep up the videos! Good work.
