Announcing the Contest Winners

The contest winners have all replied to claim their prizes!

They are:

1st place - Savannah of Tennessee, who has won a fine silver End the Fed Coin. She also had the most entries in the contest... which is a good lesson for the next contest (which could be very soon!).

2nd place - Larry of Texas, who's won $1000 TRILLION! (...in Zimbabwe money, lol.) And believe it or not- Larry actually had the second most number of entries in the contest. I'm totally not making that up.

3rd place - George of Washington state, who's won a free copy of Peter Schiff's new book, How an Economy Grows.

For more information to refresh your memory about the prizes, check out the contest page here. If you didn't win, or didn't enter, you can still always purchase your own fine silver coin at End the Fed Coin or your own Peter Schiff book at Amazon:

Thanks so much for participating everybody! As I wrote this Monday, the contest was a smashing success. As this website's subscriber numbers edged closer to 400, I wanted to be sure we didn't just pass it. I wanted to blow way past it and in striking range of 500!

Your participation made it possible with 78 new subscribers, 30 new sign-ups for my free mailing list, and 46 emails sent to promote the contest. Now sit back and enjoy some of the excellent content I have planned, chances for Internet activism, and other opportunities here at The Humble Libertarian ...and keep your eyes peeled for some more chances to win cool prizes in the near future.

My 2011 Trip

Hey Patriots! Hope your New Year is off to a good start! I am multitasking my head off to prepare for a trip around the country of indefinite length and scope starting next week. I'll be headed for Colorado first where I'll investigate medical cannabis laws and their effects; then I'll be flying out to Washington DC for the month of February to attend CPAC and ISFLC; and after that I'll move north to New Hampshire to spend March hanging with members of the Free State Project and learning more about it. I'm not positive what's next after that, but I've got a general inkling, and it might involve venturing overseas to learn a little more about the broader world around us and relay everything I see to you readers here at The Humble Libertarian ! Wish me luck and keep your eye out for updates as I travel. Peace, Wes Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

Occupy Mordor or Destroy the Ring?

There has been mixed responses to Occupy Wall Street by libertarians. Some see the movement as a positive, while others see them as little more than lazy hipsters. But libertarians must be sensitive to why people feel the way they do about issues. The occupiers point out a legitimate concern that "the 1%" control vastly more power and wealth than "the 99%", and corporations have accumulated more power and privilege than is healthy for an open society. Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
