You Are Completely Useless

Twitter status update from @GeorgeBray: "Your mobile phone has more computing power than all of NASA in 1969. NASA launched a man to the moon. We launch a bird into pigs."

Lol- doesn't that make you feel totally useless? Reading it has actually motivated me to try to be more epic. I gotta start working on my non-fiction book proposal again for a manual of politics and history for Tea Partiers. After several false starts this winter (that went something like: write paragraph, read paragraph, delete paragraph, loathe and hate myself, rinse and repeat), it kinda fizzled out.

Can't let myself be discouraged. I have more advantages, resources, and time than any author ever had who published amazing works of fiction and non-fiction. The status update above poignantly illustrates that. I'm whoring here a little... but could I get some love in the comment thread to motivate me even more?

:-P

Oh yeah- and what epic goal are you putting off in favor of Angry Birds or whatever your personal equivalent of that happens to be? And what's stopping you? Don't say Angry Birds- that's a distraction we use to keep us from pursuing epic goals because of the real reason that's stopping us (Hint: it usually has something to do with fear).

Onward we march!

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...

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
