Coming up on The Humble Libertarian

Sorry again for the blogging silence this Sunday and for the low output today. This week, I'll be posting some of the very best blog posts I have ever written(!), and one of them in particular is taking a lot of time and research to put together. Believe me, when you see it, you'll be glad I took the time to write it. I'm really hoping that with your help it goes super-viral.

In the meantime, if you haven't already, please read my post asking for your help in raising some funds to pay for Young Americans for Liberty's national convention this week. I'm hoping as a community we can cover the costs of ten students' books and materials by raising just $350. I've already put down $70, so we're 20% of the way there!

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...
