The Death of a Blog

I'm moving on to greener pastures. Visit me at  ballotandcross.com My views have changed a lot since I began this blog.  I started out as kind of a socialist.  I am now an anarcho-capitalist. My views—on war, the environment, and our responsibility for the poor, local food—have changed little.  I am proud of many of the posts on this blog.  But it's time to separate from the past and begin anew. I hope those of you who've enjoyed this blog will move forward with me. Thanks, C-L-W

Reaping what you sow

This post was so well written, that I wanted to share it in full: The Bloody Cruelty of Empires Posted by Lew Rockwell on April 13, 2011 06:58 PM When the Romans, in a series of wars, destroyed the great commercial civilization of Phoenician Carthage (Libya), they burned it to the ground and forced their new slaves to sow salt in the fields, to poison them, or so we are told. Today, the Americans (or, rather, their Nato running dogs) are doing something far worse: they are using depleted uranium ammunition, as they did in Iraq and so many other places, to poison the land and the people and the unborn. The number of malformed babies and miscarriages will be horrific. Here’s what they did to the people of Falujah for daring to resist the invading and foreign contractors. Say, isn’t it the pro-life Christianists who do this and cheer it on? (Thanks to Luis Almeida)

Security

Your tax dollars at work, paying for a TSA agent to molest little girls (click for video). Don't you feel safer?

Dismissing Ron Paul

I am no longer a Democrat because I am anti-war. I am not a Republican, because I am anti-mercantilist. There is only one free-market, anti-war candidate that I know: Ron Paul. There are a bunch of losers aiming for the GOP ticket for president. Many magazines, newspapers, and shows seem to conveniently omit Ron Paul, even though he won the 2011 CPAC poll. Author Tom Woods here defends the misrepresented Paul:

War is bad for the economy

Government propagandists have successfully convinced many that war is good.

Obama has made neocons of us all

Ed Schultz claims to be a liberal, but he sounds like a neocon to me. Obama has been criticized for trying to compromise between parties, but it looks like he's unified them under one party, the War Party.

Mormons doing good

There are a lot of Mormons out there who make me sad . But there's wheat among the tares. Jonna, a convert from Finland, is coming out with a new album that looks great. See her website . I also watched an interview with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of the broadway musical "The Book of Mormon." At first this made me nervous, I thought it was more negative propaganda against the church. But they say it's more of a celebration of Mormonism. And I'm happy that they approach my religion with the same skepticism and mockery as they would any other. That's fair.
