    That's it?

    You should have kept it a mystery.

    Cool, I didn't realize you had so many co-authors. But I think you struck a low blow with this one:

    “Histoy Is Not Geography: A Critique of Jared Diamond,” forthcoming from Imprint Academics, volume of papers from 2006 Michael Oakeshott Association Conference.

    Diamond overreaches at times, I grant you, but I seriously doubt he claimed that geography was his toy.

    A scholarly journal, Dr. Murray? And that's all you have to offer?

    Hey, I know of people who have published far more than me, but I'm pretty happy with what I've put out in about 5 years of scholarly work. If you have just this one publication, what in the world would prompt you to ask me if "that's it"?

    Dr. Murray, put up or shut up!

    For what it's worth, I thought Dr. T was making a joke. It may not have been very funny, but then neither was I when I called Stephan an "ass" on the other thread.

    And anyway, a book review doesn't count. You're supposed to keep those clearly marked on your CV because other people will laugh at you if you try to pass off a book review as a publication in the journal listed.

    Final point (for now): And what's really funny, is Dr. T. proving he's a bigger scholar than Gene, by saying he is working on a review of...Gene's book.

    I'm not mocking you in this paragraph, Dr. T. Are you really a doctor, and of what? I can't remember if I already asked you this on the "Gene's a loser" thread...

    The page is so wonderful that I want to write something about myself.
    I get a lot of rohan crone and the rohan gold is very important for anyone who wants to play the net game. Most of the rohan online croneis the access to the net game. If you have the rohan online gold, you can make good use of the rohan moneyto enjoy yourself in the game.

In ancapistan, if you have no property, you have no rights

By -
Ancaps often declare, "All rights are property rights." I was thinking about this the other day, in the context of running into libertarians online who insisted that libertarianism supports "the freedom of movement," and realized that this principle actually entails that people without property have no rights at all, let alone any right to "freedom of movement." Of course, immediately, any ancap readers still left here are going to say, "Wait a second! Everyone owns his own body! And so everyone at least has the right to not have his body interfered with." Well, that is true... except that in ancapistan, one has no right to any place to put that body, except if one owns property, or has the permission of at least one property owner to place that body on her land. So, if one is landless and penniless, one had sure better hope that there are kindly disposed property owners aligned in a corridor from wherever one happens to be to wherever the...

St. Paul and I Agree...

Taxation is not theft: "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves." -- Romans 13 The key idea implicit here, and the one that turned me on the subject of whether or not taxation is theft, is that "every soul" owes obedience to the "governing authorities." Now, if that is a debt I truly owe , then, when those authorities levy the taxes they need to do the job of governing, I owe them those taxes, and attempts to collect them certainly do not constitute acts of theft. And obviously it doesn't matter at all, from this point of view, whether or not I "signed" any sort of "social contract." (In fact, the history of political thought since the Reformation can be read as an attempt to find a secular rep...

Libertarianism and Violence, II

By -
I decided to move some discussion from this post up to the top level here. Specifically, Watoosh wrote: "Well, if violence is defined as initiation of force (which, of course, presupposes certain property rights), then I think Rockwell is correct..." Well, if we define cats as elephants, then many people keep elephants in their house. More seriously, firstly, violence is not usually defined that way. It's defined as, you know, violence, so that, say, someone may respond violently or non-violently to someone who aggresses against them. Otherwise, it would make no sense to say, for instance, "He punched me, but I did not stoop to violence in response." And, secondly, the libertarian usage of "initiation of force" is very offbeat. If I wander onto someone's meadow, most people would not say I had "initiated force" -- I mean, sure, I used "force" against the earth to push off walking, but that's not force directed against...
