Complete Liberty Podcast
Show that promotes total respect for self-ownership, property rights, and personal choice--amidst the authoritarian/obedience-oriented political and psychological memes in American culture (and elsewhere). Basically, governments and all they entail are the problem, not the solution. Voluntarism (or market anarchism, or anarcho-capitalism) and customary law principles, in accordance with reason and dignity, spell the solution. www.completeliberty.com

Even so-called judges are obedient to someone...

Authoritarian sociopaths want more and more power (to fill the void in their self-esteem)

Governmental courts foster the ultimate conflicts of interest (adjudicator and prosecutor on the same team)

"Do as I say, not as I do!" is the favorite line of those living in self-conflict

We need a movement of new intellectuals who ferret out contradictions

Government is the new religion

It's important to question the hypocrisy of those advocates of statism who believe they are moral

Ever notice that those in government have no problem with the pervasive crimes (rights-violations) they perpetrate?

The more "laws" that governmental employees create, the more "criminals" they can apprehend (ruling via fear of punishment)

"Just doing my job" is not a moral argument; shirking responsibility is not moral

The anti-conceptual mentality dominates America (and the world)
http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/anti-conceptual_mentality.html

Religion, being a ready-made system for controlling people, promotes the ethics of self-sacrifice, i.e., sacrifice of one's mind and life to invalid and erroneous concepts

"God" is based on a conglomeration of invalid concepts, unable to be logically integrated: infallibility; omniscience; and omnipotence

The "supernatural" is a fantasy designed to enslave people's minds; there is only the natural

Some perspective on something bigger than yourself:

"The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is called a 'pencil beam' survey because the observations encompass a narrow, yet 'deep' piece of sky. Astronomers compare the Ultra Deep Field view to looking through an eight-foot-long soda straw."

Complete liberty is not just about politics; it's about a worldview in which you free your mind of contradictory beliefs and behaviors

Ultimately one must redeem one's mind from all the hockshops of authority; no gods and no governments

Intense introspection and self-knowledge is key

Twenty-one Reasons Why Statism Is a Radical and Radically Incoherent Theory by Jakub Bozydar Wisniewski
http://www.strike-the-root.com/twenty-one-reasons-why-statism-is-radical-and-radically-incoherent-theory

Governmental employees who regulate people are unproductive, anti-creative, and anti-entrepreneurial

For many, Government is like God, and needs no explanation

Since individuals can govern themselves, why have government?--unless you want to govern other individuals and seize their property

You can't have a valid contract when one side doesn't agree to it; thus, the "social contract" is a myth perpetuated by people who want to control others

Robbing Peter (via taxation) to support Paul is not benevolent; it's the doctrine of sacrifice

Government itself is the problem we need to get rid of, and you can't do that by being part of it!

Why Do We Accept Aging? by Kyle Munkittrick
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/3780/

Disobedience is the basic crime against those who presume to rule over you

The basic axiom of any civilized society is to respect persons and property of others

Since life is the ultimate standard of value, we must look for ways to solve the problem of aging and death

Government doesn't respect persons and property, by definition

Tax attacks: Hillcrest grudge match pits Market Anarchists against Democratic Socialists by Dave Maass 
http://www.sdcitybeat.com/cms/story/detail/tax_attacks/9008/

All the grand social projects advocated by statists, in addition to being immoral, fail miserably compared to free market standards

Socialism is mass coercion with no respect for private property rights

Until a statist agrees to put the gun down, arguments from effect (or utility) are somewhat futile

Tax objectors have long history in US: Man who crashed into IRS building is the latest defier by Stephen Ohlemacher (AP)

Working on personal development and avoiding governmental nonsense are vital to the good life

Self-defensive violence against governmental oppressors is NOT the solution to governmental aggression

Rather, asking root-striking questions about morality and justice can foster better behavior:
