Text of the page (random words):
others i like them too anyway every day like clockwork count on it future of freedom foundation i don t ever miss jacob hornberger s blog which runs new posts daily unless he s traveling or something the general articles page has new content most days as well on an eclectic mix of subjects by an eclectic mix of authors back in the day fff s site kept a running list of where its house produced op eds had been published i adapted that idea to set up my own op ed operations first at the center for a stateless society and now at the garrison center kent s hooligan libertarian blog kent mcmanigal posts new thoroughly libertarian and usually thought provoking material every day he also writes a weekly column for the clovis new mexico news journal living freedom claire wolfe recently moved her blog away from backwoods home magazine where it ran for many years and by which she was presumably paid to blog to its own site and ran a fundraiser to keep it going thankfully the fundraiser succeeded i don t know what the hell i d do without it i ve been a claire fan for 20 years the price of liberty comment kibbitzers here at kn ppster know and love mamaliberty tpol is her blog when she posts there herself it s usually either fiction or commentaries on self defense good stuff in between nathan barton who i actually met once at a libertarian party convention posts daily commentaries on the news he falls somewhat to my socially conservative side but is always worth a read so he always gets one reason well duh on a good day there will be stuff by jd tuccille who s obviously gone much further than i have since we both worked at free market net back in the old days jesse walker elizabeth nolan brown scott shackford et al and while i like to poke at nick gillespie him too and others sometimes i love reason sometimes i love to hate reason either way i never miss a day so there you go thane i hope you re pleased with yourself you may have unleashed a listicle monster posted by thomas l knapp at 7 39 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday august 10 2016 cheap at twice the price christopher burg i read his blog every day and so should you writes anybody who isn t mathematically challenged knows that playing the powerball is an exercise in throwing money away the chances of winning are infinitesimal you d be better off putting the money for a ticket into buying a coffee at starbucks since you at least receive something for your money then he s on his way to something else but that s the part i wanted comment on and i ve blogged about it before my comment as written at his blog you do receive something for your money above and beyond the infinitesimal chance of winning you receive the pleasure of thinking about winning where will you build your dream house what places will you travel to that you never could before how much will the first really realistic sex robot cost and how many will you be able to afford the lottery s product is fantasy facilitation that chance of winning may be infinitesimal but it s a hook to hang dreams on slight extension i don t know how much it costs to go to a movie around the country but in my area a ticket is 12 50 and the food prices are equally outrageous you re talking at least 20 25 per person by the time it s all said and done i can buy a powerball ticket and serve popcorn and soda to my family of four while we talk about what we ll do if we get rich for five bucks or so taking them out to a movie or an amusement park or whatever would end up costing 20 times that maybe more i don t do it often but i do it occasionally usually when the jackpot is more than 200 million the bigger the jackpot the more dream for your dollar see posted by thomas l

both posted by thomas l knapp at 1 48 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels podcasts tuesday august 09 2016 frankly i m relieved note i am writing this post at about 6am on tuesday morning but don t plan to actually publish it until after the reform party announces the outcome of its presidential nomination process it would be rude to preempt them with hints as to what it is that i m led to believe they re going to announce tlk additional note well once again my assumption that anything would happen in a timely manner has been deflated my information is that the reform party chose its presidential vice presidential nominees late last night but so far as i can tell they still haven t gotten round to you know saying so tlk no not sour grapes genuine relief to explain why here s a brief exchange i had with red philips on facebook last night red phillips any word on the reform party nomination yet thomas l knapp nope it was supposed to be decided on july 29th then it was supposed to be decided by email ballot and announced at 5pm today then it was we ll try to have a decision by 9pm 9pm has come and gone keep in mind that this is nine delegates voting on a single issue even if it went to multiple ballots it s something nine seventh graders who d never had a civics class or seen a copy of robert s could have figured out in 60 90 minutes tops they ve taken ten days now in point of fact there still hasn t been an actual announcement 13 hours after the last projected date for one but i am told that in the middle of the night the reform party s nine delegates did finally manage after nearly two weeks to wrap up the process of taking a vote and choosing a presidential candidate and that that candidate was someone other than my running mate darcy richardson which presumably means the vice presidential candidate is someone other than me let me reiterate nearly two weeks for nine people to complete a simple process that the libertarian party managed to get through in a few hours a few weeks ago in orlando with more than 1 000 delegate s participating to the extent that i was interested in being the reform party s vice presidential nominee this year my interest was about helping the reform party rebuild itself organizationally my payoff for doing so would be learning that skill but i have to admit that job was probably beyond my abilities the level of dysfunction it takes for nine people to need two weeks to take a simple vote is probably just beyond my help or anyone else s note that i am not criticizing the content of the decision here from what i know of who was picked i understand the reasons even if i think they were given the wrong weight but making the decision was a process so simple that it should have been impossible to screw up very badly good luck to the reform party posted by thomas l knapp at 3 10 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels election 2016 elections reform party let me defend the johnson campaign you know i don t do that very often right a very nice summation of the story here at brand new hat tip warren redlich publisher of independent political report two months ago tampa fl based spark published on its online quarterly publication a conceptual speculative identity for 2016 libertarian party u s presidential nominee gary johnson in the short time since his campaign has adopted the concept without consent aka stolen the work from spark yes you read that right some guys publicly and without any solicitation from the campaign suggested that the campaign do x the campaign did x the guys now think they were stolen from or as spark ceo tony miller puts it at bay news 9 also h t warren i think there was some surprise that they hadn t contacted us first and said hey do you mind if we use this or hey we are going to use this i think they are probably using that thinking it was out there in the public domain for them to use and probably don t have a full understanding of what creative license is all about you just can t take somebody s work without permission or without potentially paying for it spark produced a cute little video accusing the johnson campaign of swiping their offering h t joe buchman also of ipr so would publicly crediting spark with making a useful suggestion have been the nice thing to do yes was not doing so a dick move well sort of but i can t really work up any tears for spark they could have waited for the campaign to come to them for a proposal before creating one unlikely unless there were previously existing ties between the company and the campaign but that s how it goes or they could privately have worked up the proposal on unsolicited spec and offered it to the campaign with some kind of pre disclosure agreement that if it was liked it would be bought and that if it was not bought it would not be used the campaign might not have agreed to look at it under those conditions but again that s how it goes instead they decided to loudly publicly shout hey gary johnson why don t you do this in a self promotional venue that is they were using the proposal to drum up business for themselves from potential clients other than the johnson campaign it was advertising by hypothetical demonstration here s how good we are see this is what we would be doing if we were doing this guy s campaign now they are bellyaching that he did what they publicly said he should do without their permission what the f k and keep in mind that it s about 99 likely that gary johnson never saw spark s offering or had any idea that his campaign consultants or staffers had decided to run with a very similar theme until spark started griping about it what he likely saw was the final product he s probably very surprised to learn that he s been paying good money to one company for work that another company had already done and published if i was gary i d probably be firing someone over this because i wouldn t want lazy dishonest assholes charging me for other people s work and setting me up for public embarrassment and i d probably be going ahead and publicly thanking spark for their freely publicly offered work because that s the nice thing to do and it would cost me nothing to do it but if i was spark i d consider a name change because after the shit they just pulled their name should be mud among potential clients posted by thomas l knapp at 8 23 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels election 2016 elections gary johnson libertarian party sunday august 07 2016 principled non voting the missing element i m listening to free talk live and i m listening live so i can t just link to the episode i ll try to remember to come back later and do that here and there was just some talk about voting not voting principled non voting and so forth one of the hosts mark is apparently a little sick of principled non voters belly aching about how voting is supporting the system etc he hates it not because he thinks it negatively affects the libertarian movement in terms of large numbers but because he thinks it s irrational and that the irrationality is infectious i kind of agree but probably not for the same reasons at least from what i m hearing so far the discussion doesn t seem to have come around to what i consider the main thing if all you do vis a vis voting is not vote it doesn t bother statists nor does it really negatively affect the state there s a certain amount of immunity there in the form of the claim perception that people who don t vote aren t voting because they re apathetic rather than because they have a problem with the system and that in turn buttresses the whole if you don t vote don t complain not voting is consent to abide by whatever the people who do vote decide consensus as a former and possibly future principled non voter i have to say i have always agreed with what mark seems to be getting at in order for not voting to be an effectual statement or to be or become the tactic of a movement the people who don t vote have to say why they re not voting and some non trivial portion of them have to agree at least roughly on why that is one of my past little projects you know me i start projects to see where they go and abandon them if the answer is nowhere was to try and get a campaign going through which non voters could as a group publicly say through a sort of public registry and communique system we re not voting because we don t consent to your system i called it voters didn t really go anywhere but i still think it was an interesting idea with potential iirc somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 of americans voted for barack obama for president in 2012 78 did not and a majority of that 78 didn t vote at all suppose that in addition to the 22 of americans who voted for obama 22 or more had joined together in publicly stating we neither want nor need a president thingie have your little ritual if you want to but keep it to yourselves somewhat different perceptual story there huh but absent that joining together around a message not voting really isn t any different than not checking the mailbox or not having mayonnaise on your ham sandwich or not watching game of thrones nobody notices that you didn t do it and nobody cares why posted by thomas l knapp at 8 08 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels elections voting the kn pp stir podcast episode
