Ye Olde Rebel of the Week: Lysander Spooner

http://silverunderground.com

Today happens to be the birthday of one of my all time favorite rebels. So, I thought I’d take us back in time and declare Lysander Spooner the rebel of this week in 1808.

Lysander Spooner was a nineteenth century American political philosopher, pamphleteer, entrepreneur, abolitionist and individualist anarchist. Spooner advocated what he called the “Science of Justice” which held that the initiation of coercion against an individual or their property was a natural crime, but so-called crimes that violated man-made statutes but had no victim were no crime at all.

http://news.yahoo.com

After Iowa, Republican Party finally figures out the fit has hit the shan, wants desperately not to get "Perot'd" by Ron Paul and his supporters. In fact, there are hints Republican operatives actually _understand_ Paul and his supporters as NOT "kooks." The key comment: "Paul agrees with us 85 percent of the time," said the operative, "and his supporters are earnest conservatives and libertarians who have no reason to support Obama in 2012 unless they're stepped on by our team."

Excommunication for having sex with your spouse.

http://exm.nr

This is not a cult? Yeah, right... Why is it "legal" for these people not to pay taxes and for activists not so much... We need to start a religion based on individual rights... (I know that defeats the purpose, it's just frustrating)

Atheists know more about religion than the religious

Why is anyone surprised at the findings of a new survey of American religious knowledge, released last week by the Pew Forum, which demonstrate that atheists and agnostics know more about religion than the religious do? The only religious groups comparable to atheists in general religious knowledge are Jews and Mormons. Atheists even know more about Christianity than American Christians.

Student punished for spaghetti beliefs

http://www.globalone.tv

Student punished for spaghetti beliefs

A student has been suspended from school in America for coming to class dressed as a pirate.

But the disciplinary action has provoked controversy – because the student says that the ban violates his rights, as the pirate costume is part of his religion.

Bryan Killian says that he follows the Pastafarian religion, and that as a crucial part of his faith, he must wear 'full pirate regalia' as prescribed in the holy texts of Pastafarianism.

THE AMISH DON'T GET AUTISM

http://healthwyze.org

The Amish do not experience autism, or any of the other learning disabilities that plague our technological society. The Amish live in a society that consists of outdated technologies and ideals, by contemporary standards. Their diet consists of eating organic, fresh, locally-grown produce, and of course, they do not follow the established vaccination routines.

Finally, private protection agencies with legal authority

http://www.counterpunch.org

FINALLY and thanks to Rudy Giuliani, private security can be purchased that has the full authority of the law. There are still a few details that separate this arrangement from truly voluntarist protection organizations. The officer is indemnified by the taxpayer, not the customer or the customer's insurance. They do have the ability to arrest, though, so it's close.

Occupy Wall Street is an Important Movement That .......

http://www.nextppl.com

"Today there is a feeling of deep poison running through the ideological veins of this nation. The ghettos of cable news have shown us, by 24-hour assault, what becomes of discourse when the conscientious majority becomes its target. Now is the time to reign in this malevolent power. For in the future, blunt intimidation will become its preferred faculty, and Americans will be forced to stand against tanks in the same way a man, tired and wanting for rest, stood against Chinese tanks in 1989."
