Law and order stems from people's respect for each other, not "laws" and jails
Government demonstrates unlawful and disorderly conduct on a daily basis
Invalid "public land" creates political conniving and "special interests" that exist at others' expense
Complete liberty would enable vast opportunities for work (and pleasure) and wealth-creation
Without property rights, no other rights are possible (hat tip to A.R.)
Government imposes "services" that you can't refuse without being accosted

Day 9 - Reflections on GTMO
http://www.warisimmoral.com/2009/05/day-9-reflections-on-gtmo.html
To reject "God" and "Government" and the irrational/immoral actions of their adherents is a heroic achievement
Truth is determined by a rational faculty looking at reality in a logical fashion
Governmental rights-violations--law of the jungle
Most people's critical faculties whither under institutions supporting the tribal premise (churches and states)
Peer pressure and emotional turmoil take their devastating toll on people's independence
Every child is subjected to horrific authoritarian/obedience memes in our culture
Parents need to understand that they are naturally authoritative--and that being authoritarian is acting from insecurity
Thuggish actions don't encourage responsibility, reasoning ability, self-esteem, independence, or happiness
If you want your child to flourish, live a great life, and to respect you (and demand respect from others), then respect his or her mind, will, and belief in self
Encourage kids to think rationally, to challenge authority, and question any destructive and contradictory belief--this will enable a voluntaryist future
About War by John Cory (no longer posted on Truthout.org)
http://www.john-cory.com/warandpolitics.html
War is self-created hell; it starts with self-conflict and extends to conflict with others, exacerbated and perpetuated by the sick institution of government
Government relies on propaganda to further itself and promote fear and lies and obedience--in the name of sacrificing individuals
Foreign invasion would just change our masters; the slaves remain enslaved so long as there are governments
Without government, no masters (either foreign or domestic) have any power
The free market will have no problem ensuring people's security and prosperity
