Taxation as theft: hardcore edition

By gzt (Mon May 20, 2013 at 09:16:54 PM EST) gzt, k-means, failure, classes, doctor hurt, alien, libertarian, property is theft (all tags)

Now, I don't really have a complete axiomatic politics system, as I'm a pragmatist who thinks any system will involve throwing some bodies under the rug. The question is, whose bodies is your system built on? I think axiomatic approaches are self-delusions because you can't get anything a priori, so I don't believe in natural law as such. Revealed truths about government don't tell us we have rights, either, they tell us we have duties and then tell us that politics involve killing people, unfortunately, and there is no just political system, so that's not helpful, either, for the axiomatically inclined, particularly those who make a big fuss about "rights" and "liberties".

resolutions, goals, etc.

I made a few last year, I achieved a few, some others got put aside because of better things that came along. For those keeping score, these were the resolutions:

I will not crush my enemies in 2009.
Battle cosmic evil.
Seek justice.
I suppose I should acquire at least 10 more pounds.
Get out of this crummy job into a real one.
Eat more offal and pack my lunch more often.

This title space for rent

So, my tech support issue has been solved. It only took 8 days in the end. (Eight days would be bad if I was a paying customer, but for free service I think it's acceptable.)

Plus:

Putting academic life back on track
French classes
MFC (non-)news
less /proc/kcore
Teh WIPOpolltamus
