~*Δραματική η κατάσταση με τα έσοδα Του Νεκτάριου Β. Νώτη ,.. nectarios.notis@capital.gr : Δέκα ημέρες πριν το τέλος Μαρτίου και ήδη τα στοιχεία για την πορεία των εσόδων είναι περαιτέρω ανησυχητικά. Τα μηνύματα, που φτάνουν στους επιτελείς της Καραγιώργη Σερβίας, μιλούν όχι απλά για υστέρηση, αλλά για διεύρυνση της μείωσης στο πρώτο δεκαπενθήμερο του μήνα, η οποία και ξεπερνά πλέον το 10%!Παρά το γεγονός ότι τα έσοδα από το φόρο προστιθέμενης αξίας παρουσιάζουν αύξηση, η ελεύθερη πτώση συνεχίζεται, λόγω:- της κατάρρευσης του συστήματος TAXIS, η οποία έχει οδηγήσει σε παρατάσεις επί παρατάσεων των προθεσμιών και σε σημαντικές καθυστερήσεις στην υποβολή φορολογικών δηλώσεων,- της καθυστέρησης στην αποστολή σχεδόν ενός εκατομμυρίου εκκαθαριστικών σημειωμάτων του ενιαίου τέλους ακινήτων του 2009 (!) και του φόρου ακίνητης περιουσίας του 2010, ενώ ήδη κλείνει και το πρώτο τρίμηνο του 2011,- της υπολειτουργίας των ελεγκτικών μηχανισμών, καθώς η μείωση των αποδοχών των εφοριακών τους έχει οδηγήσει στο να κατεβάσουν τα μολύβια,- του επιπλέον φόρτου εργασίας, με τον οποίο επιβαρύνθηκαν οι Δ.Ο.Υ. σε όλη τη χώρα για να διορθωθούν τα λάθη στην περαίωση και σε άλλες ρυθμίσεις (λάθη, που οφείλονται κατά κύριο λόγο στο TAXIS),- της διατήρησης της φοροδιαφυγής σε υψηλά επίπεδα, αφού – παρά τους διαρκείς ελέγχους και τη βεβαίωση προστίμων – η αύξηση του φορολογικού βάρους για τις επιχειρήσεις και τους ελεύθερους επαγγελματίες και η ασυνέπεια του Δημοσίου τους οδηγεί στο να επιδιώκουν περαιτέρω τη μη δήλωση των εισοδημάτων τους και τη μη απόδοση παρακρατούμενων φόρων,- της μη είσπραξης των προστίμων, που βεβαιώνονται, με τα επίσημα στοιχεία – διά στόματος Γιώργου Παπακωνσταντίνου – να δείχνουν ότι στα δημόσια ταμεία καταλήγει λιγότερο από το 10% των ποσών αυτών.Στη σύσκεψη, που πραγματοποιήθηκε χθες μεταξύ του υφυπουργού οικονομικών, Δημήτρη Κουσελά, του γενικού γραμματέα, Γιάννη Καπελέρη και των επικεφαλής των 30 μεγαλύτερων Δ.Ο.Υ., ζητήθηκε για ακόμα μια φορά- να γίνουν πιο εντατικοί οι έλεγχοι στην αγορά σε ό,τι αφορά την έκδοση αποδείξεων και την απόδοση του Φ.Π.Α.,- να στοχοποιηθούν όσοι είπαν «Όχι» στην περαίωση, και- να επιτευχθούν οι μηνιαίοι στόχοι, τους οποίους έθεσε ανά εφορία η ηγεσία του υπουργείου οικονομικών.Οι οδηγίες αυτές δεν δόθηκαν για πρώτη φορά. Το έργο το έχουμε ξαναδεί σε αντίστοιχες συσκέψεις, οι οποίες πραγματοποιούνται σε μηνιαία βάση, χωρίς όμως – όπως δείχνουν τα επίσημα στοιχεία – τα επιθυμητά αποτελέσματα. Η λύση για να ανακοπεί η ελεύθερη πτώση των εσόδων βρίσκεται στη ριζική, επί της ουσίας και άμεση αναδιάρθρωση και κινητοποίηση του μηχανισμού. Η ωρολογιακή βόμβα των εσόδων βρίσκεται πλέον (και) στα χέρια του νέου γενικού γραμματέα, Γιάννη Καπαλέρη, ο οποίος – προερχόμενος από τα σπλάχνα των εφοριακών – καλείται να δώσει άμεσα τις απαιτούμενες λύσεις και, κυρίως, να πείσει τους συναδέλφους του για την ορθότητα αυτών. -
~* Το γύρισαν στις χειρόγραφες δηλώσεις οι εφορίες Του Νεκτάριου Β. Νώτη Δεν έχουν τέλος τα προβλήματα των επιχειρήσεων στις σχέσεις τους με την εφορία. Πέραν της υψηλής φορολογικής επιβάρυνσης, την οποία δέχονται μέσω έκτακτων (;) εισφορών και άλλων μέτρων, πέραν του παγώματος και της σημαντικής καθυστέρησης στις επιστροφές Φ.Π.Α., έχουν να αντιμετωπίσουν και την κατάρρευση του συστήματος TAXIS, η οποία εκτοξεύει σημαντικά το κόστος λειτουργίας τους και να δημιουργεί σημαντικά προβλήματα στη διαχείριση της καθημερινότητάς τους.Όπως είναι γνωστό, οι επιχειρήσεις υποχρεούνται να υποβάλουν τις φορολογικές τους δηλώσεις ηλεκτρονικά. Οι πρώτες προθεσμίες αρχίζουν να λήγουν την 1η Απριλίου, δηλαδή σε λιγότερο από δέκα εργάσιμες ημέρες. Παρ΄ όλα αυτά, το TAXIS δεν έχει ακόμα ανοίξει για όσα νομικά πρόσωπα επιθυμούν, για συγκεκριμένους λόγους, να τακτοποιήσουν νωρίτερα τις υποχρεώσεις τους προς την εφορία.-
~* «Ακριδόπληκτος» κηρύχθηκε ο Νομός Αχαΐας Σμήνη ακρίδων πλήττουν την αγροτική παραγωγή στην Αχαΐα, με αποτέλεσμα ο αντιπεριφερειάρχης Γρηγόρης Αλεξόπουλος να εκδώσει απόφαση, με την οποία κηρύσσει «ακριδόπληκτο» τον νομό. Οι ακρίδες πλήττουν ιδιαιτέρα τις περιοχές της Αιγιαλείας, των Καλαβρύτων και του Ερυμάνθου, ενώ σοβαρά προβλήματα καταγράφονται και στη Δυτική Αχαΐα. Μάλιστα, οι ακρίδες έχουν κάνει την εμφάνισή τους ακόμα και στην πόλη της Πάτρας. Αυτήν την ώρα πραγματοποιείται σύσκεψη στην περιφερειακή ενότητα Αχαΐας, προκειμένου να αποφασισθούν τα μέτρα που θα ληφθούν.-
~* Μας «προσφέρουν»... δανεικά τα γλυπτά του Παρθενώνα Το Βρετανικό Μουσείο δεν πρόκειται να επιστρέψει τα γλυπτά του Παρθενώνα στην Ελλάδα, αλλά είναι πρόθυμο... να της τα δανείσει! Αυτό προκύπτει μετά τις δηλώσεις του διευθυντή του Νιλ Μαγκρέγκορ, σε συνέντευξή του στο ένθετο Spectrum της εφημερίδας «The Sydney Morning Herald».Στο δισέλιδο αφιέρωμα-συνέντευξη του διευθυντή του Βρετανικού Μουσείου, με αφορμή τη διάλεξη που πρόκειται να δώσει στο πλαίσιο της παρουσίασης του νέου του βιβλίου, ο κ. Μαγκρέγκορ αναφέρεται και στα γλυπτά του Παρθενώνα, επισημαίνοντας ότι «τα συγκεκριμένα αντικείμενα έχουν νόημα, μόνο όταν εκτίθενται στο σύνολό τους, ως αφηγητής όλης της ανθρώπινης ιστορίας», συνεπώς είναι «απαραίτητο να βρεθεί ο καλύτερος δυνατός τρόπος, ώστε όλος ο κόσμος να τα επισκεφθεί, εφόσον δεν μπορούν να ενσωματωθούν στον Παρθενώνα».Σημειώνει, επίσης, ότι, αν και το Βρετανικό Μουσείο έχει προτείνει τον δανεισμό τους με σειρά προτεραιότητας στην Ελλάδα, εντούτοις η ελληνική κυβέρνηση «αρνείται να τα δανειστεί».-
~* Υπό κατάληψη το Δημαρχείο της Αθήνας Σε κατάληψη του Δημαρχείου στον Δήμο Αθηναίων προχώρησαν σήμερα οι συμβασιούχοι δημοτικοί υπάλληλοι, αντιδρώντας στην απόφαση του δημάρχου, Γιώργου Καμίνη, να μην αποσύρει από την ημερήσια διάταξη δημοτικού συμβουλίου το θέμα της πρόσληψης νέων εργαζομένων με οκτάμηνη σύμβαση.Ο κ. Καμίνης, από την πλευρά του, χαρακτήρισε «σκλαβοπάζαρο» τις συμβάσεις ορισμένου χρόνου. Παράλληλα, επεσήμανε ότι, όσο δεν έχει ξεκαθαριστεί το νομικό καθεστώς των εργαζομένων και εκκρεμούν δικαστικές αποφάσεις, δεν πρόκειται να προκηρύξει τις θέσεις. «Δεν είμαι απέναντί τους, αλλά δεν θέλω να χαϊδεύω αυτιά και να παρατείνω μία απαράδεκτη κατάσταση» υπογράμμισε ο δήμαρχος Αθηναίων.-
~*Κατέθεσε ο Νικόλας Πατέρας Λίγο μετά τις 10:00 πήγε στον αθλητικό εισαγγελέα Κωνσταντίνο Σιμιτζόγλου ο πρώην πρόεδρος του Παναθηναϊκού, Νικόλας Πατέρας, ο οποίος για περισσότερο από μία ώρα κατέθετε σχετικά με την πολύκροτη υπόθεση για τις κασέτες που έδωσε στη δημοσιότητα ο δικηγόρος Αλέξης Κούγιας.«Με κάλεσε ο κύριος εισαγγελέας για να με ρωτήσει αν γνωρίζω κάτι σχετικά με τις καταγγελίες. Αυτό που μπορώ να επαναλάβω είναι αυτό που έχω πει με τα δελτία Τύπου τις προηγούμενες ημέρες, πως ουδεμία σχέση έχω με τις κασέτες και για τις υποκλοπές που με κατηγορεί ο κύριος Μπέος. Είναι τουλάχιστον προσβλητικό για τη νοημοσύνη μας να συζητώ με τον κύριο Μπέο για πράγματα που είναι κατά της ομάδας μου και να τα έχω δεχτεί. Πιστεύω πως η δικαιοσύνη θα λύσει αυτό το θέμα και σύντομα θα έχουμε απαντήσεις. Αυτή η υπόθεση δεν βοηθά το προϊόν του ποδοσφαίρου», δήλωσε ο Νικόλας Πατέρας και συνέχισε: «Ο κ. Κούγιας λέει αλήθεια. Έφερε στο γραφείο μου τις κασέτες και του είπα ότι επειδή εγώ δεν είμαι νομικός ή εισαγγελέας, θα πρέπει να ενεργήσει ο ίδιος. Μου έφερε τις απομαγνητοφωνημένες συνομιλίες που βγήκαν και στη δημοσιότητα». Νωρίτερα, ενώπιον του κ. Σιμιτζόγλου είχε καταθέσει ως μάρτυρας και ο πρόεδρος της ΚΕΔ, Βασίλης Τεροβίτσας.Ο πρόεδρος της ΚΕΔ έμεινε για περίπου 40 με 45 λεπτά στο γραφείο του αθλητικού εισαγγελέα και κατά την αποχώρησή του τόνισε: «Η διαδικασία είναι μυστική». -

~** ANY GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION DETERIORATES AN EXISTING TREND While Republicans and Democrats battle in Wisconsin over a bill to reduce the collective bargaining power of state employee unions as a means of balancing their budget, Libertarian Party Chair Mark Hinkle points out that the problem lies with government control of activities it has no business running.Venitis Law of Intervention: Any government intervention deteriorates an existing trend. Laissez-faire is the only progressive policy.Hinkle notes Libertarians are neither pro-union nor anti-union. We believe that the right of association and freedom of contract allows any group of people to choose to bargain collectively rather than individually. Naturally, we oppose violence and threats of such, but unions per se can play a major role in a free society. The problem is that the battle between the Wisconsin state government and state employees isn't even remotely a free market.Government monopolizes many services that could and should be provided in the voluntary sector by profit-making or non-profit organizations. This also gives them a monopsony as virtually the only potential employer for workers in these fields. Once someone has trained to be a teacher or prison guard, they are essentially at the mercy of government for their employment in that field. Blaming them for wanting collective bargaining representation would be comparable to siding with the Polish government against the union Solidarity headed by Lech Walesa that freed Poland in 1989 from Soviet rule. The problem is with the employer: the government.Hinkle points out that far and away the largest part of the budget of the State of Wisconsin, once aid to local governments is allocated to underlying expenditures, is in the category of education. This is true of virtually all state and local governments, so it is the best example of how freedom can provide a solution. Unfortunately, government expenditures for education are driven by political considerations rather than the needs of the students. The result is outrageous costs that are not primarily for the most important ingredient in education, the teacher.Schools dumbdown children. It's ridiculous to jail children in schools for sixteen years! No wonder children revolt violently. Homeschooling is the education of children at home. Homeschooling is a legal option in many places for parents to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to publicly-provided schools. Parents cite numerous reasons as motivations to home school, including better academic test results, poor public school environment, improved character, and objections to what is taught locally in public school. It is also an alternative for families living in isolated rural locations or living temporarily abroad. Homeschooling is legal in many countries, especially Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.Venitis Law of Education: There is no direct relationship between education andschooling. You might be schooled but uneducated, and you might be educated butunschooled. Schools are concentration camps for the drones of society. Unschooling is much better than schooling. Internet is the best source ofknowledge and information, replacing schools, libraries, media, parliaments, andpostoffice.========================================================ADVERTISEMENTSSmart words are more effective than smart bombs!

~** GIVE ANARCHY A CHANCE During the last two centuries there were proposed and tested by the "system" various ideologies on how people to live together and be happy. Communism, socialism, facism, democracy, etc. However, although anarchy was there it has not been tested yet, and as I understand this is what you propose to do. I personally do not trust any paternalistic ideology including anarchy because they fit to the description of F. Niche who considers ideology a donkey that people follow to find their happiness. I have a quite different view which is summarized in my work concerning education and if you are interesting you may find it in the following links:http://www.env.aegean.gr/labs/Remote_sensing/EnglishBlock/publications/Hatzopoulos-Hsss-Us.pdfhttp://www.webmazine.org/issues/bull237/documents/rightWrong.pdfAccording to my views if there are individuals who care about people and quality in life they have to look deeply inside the human mind and try to free it from the intellectual rape which is persistently and methodically applied by the system. With other words they have to help people develop a healthy mind which is obtained by the effort of the logic to keep balancing desire and anger (Plato The Republic). To achieve this healthy mind state it is important to understand the destructive mechanisms used by the system to disturb this balance through the intellectual rape process as follows: (a) wildification mechanisms to increase the anger, (b) marketing mechanisms to increase the desire and (c) excessive faith and mutual support mechanisms to neutralize the mind. ======================================================Professor Ioannis (John) N.

Only kleptocrats and looters do better in democracy. Wars, terror, massacres, and misery are instigated by governments, not people. Anarchy is an ideal limit; the closer a system is to anarchy, the better it is. We should all strive for anarchy now. Henry David Thoreau(1817–1862) was an important early influence in individualist anarchist thought in the United States and Europe. Thoreau was an American author, poet, naturalist, and tax resister. Celebrated economist Murray Rothbard(1926 – 1995) constructed the theory of individualist anarchism and proved it's the best possible political system on Earth. Greece, the cradle of democracy, has become the cradle of kleptocracy. Since democracy has deteriorated to kleptocracy, especially in Greece, citizens now consider anarchy. Murray Rothbard defines the state as that institution which possesses one of the following properties: it acquires its income by the physical coercion known as taxation; and it asserts and usually obtains a coerced monopoly of the provision of defense service over a given territorial area. Anarchist society is one where there is no legal possibility for coercive aggression against the person or property of an individual. Anarchists oppose the state because it has its very being in such aggression, namely, the expropriation of private property through taxation, the coercive exclusion of other providers of defense service from its territory, and all of the other depredations and coercions that are built upon these twin foci of invasions of individual rights. The Rothbardian definition of the state is not arbitrary, for these two characteristics have been possessed by what is generally acknowledged to be states throughout recorded history. The state, by its use of physical coercion, has arrogated to itself a compulsory monopoly of defense services over its territorial jurisdiction. But it is certainly conceptually possible for such services to be supplied by private, non-state institutions, and indeed such services have historically been supplied by other organizations than the state. To be opposed to the state is then not necessarily to be opposed to services that have often been linked with it; to be opposed to the state does not necessarily imply that we must be opposed to police protection, courts, arbitration, the minting of money, postal service, or roads and highways. Some anarchists have indeed been opposed to police and to all physical coercion in defense of person and property, but this is not inherent in and is fundamentally irrelevant to the anarchist position, which is precisely marked by opposition to all physical coercion invasive of, or aggressing against, person and property. The crucial role of taxation may be seen in the fact that the state is the only institution or organization in society which regularly and systematically acquires its income through the use of physical coercion. All other individuals or organizations acquire their income voluntarily, either through the voluntary sale of goods and services to consumers on the market, or through voluntary gifts or donations by members or other donors. If I cease or refrain from purchasing Wheaties on the market, the Wheaties producers do not come after me with a gun or the threat of imprisonment to force me to purchase; if I fail to join the American Philosophical Association, the association may not force me to join or prevent me from giving up my membership. Only the state can do so; only the state can confiscate my property or put me in jail if I do not pay its tax tribute. Therefore, only the state regularly exists and has its very being by means of coercive depredations on private property. Neither is it legitimate to challenge this sort of analysis by claiming that in some other sense, the purchase of Wheaties or membership in the APA is in some way coercive. Anyone who is still unhappy with this use of the term coercion can simply eliminate the word from this discussion and substitute for it physical violence or the threat thereof, with the only loss being in literary style rather than in the substance of the argument. What anarchism proposes to do, then, is to abolish the state, that is, to abolish the regularized institution of aggressive coercion. It need hardly be added that the state habitually builds upon its coercive source of income by adding a host of other aggressions upon society, ranging from economic controls to the prohibition of pornography to the compelling of religious observance to the mass murder of civilians in organized warfare. In short, the state claims and exercises a monopoly of crime over its territorial area. The second criticism Rothbard would like to defuse is the common charge that anarchists assume that all people are good and that without the state no crime would be committed. In short, that anarchism assumes that with the abolition of the state a New Anarchist Man will emerge, cooperative, humane, and benevolent, so that no problem of crime will then plague the society. Rothbard confesses that he does not understand the basis for this charge. Whatever other schools of anarchism profess – and Rothbard does not believe that they are open to the charge – he certainly does not adopt this view. Rothbard assumes with most observers that mankind is a mixture of good and evil, of cooperative and criminal tendencies. In Rothbard's view, the anarchist society is one which maximizes the tendencies for the good and the cooperative, while it minimizes both the opportunity and the moral legitimacy of the evil and the criminal. If the anarchist view is correct and the state is indeed the great legalized and socially legitimated channel for all manner of antisocial crime – theft, oppression, mass murder – on a massive scale, then surely the abolition of such an engine of crime can do nothing but favor the good in man and discourage the bad. In a profound sense, no social system, whether anarchist or statist, can work at all unless most people are good in the sense that they are not all hell-bent upon assaulting and robbing their neighbors. If everyone were so disposed, no amount of protection, whether state or private, could succeed in staving off chaos. Furthermore, the more that people are disposed to be peaceful and not aggress against their neighbors, the more successfully any social system will work, and the fewer resources will need to be devoted to police protection. The anarchist view holds that, given the nature of man, given the degree of goodness or badness at any point in time, anarchism will maximize the opportunities for the good and minimize the channels for the bad. The rest depends on the values held by the individual members of society. The only further point that needs to be made is that by eliminating the living example and the social legitimacy of the massive legalized crime of the state, anarchism will to a large extent promote peaceful values in the minds of the public. Many people think the state is vitally necessary to provide police protection, the judicial resolution of disputes and enforcement of contracts, and the creation of the law itself that is to be enforced. Rothbard's contention is that all of these admittedly necessary services of protection can be satisfactorily and efficiently supplied by private persons and institutions on the free market. One important caveat: new proposals such as anarchism are almost always gauged against the implicit assumption that the present, or statist system works to perfection. Any lacunae or difficulties with the picture of the anarchist society are considered net liabilities, and enough to dismiss anarchism out of hand. It is, in short, implicitly assumed that the state is doing its self-assumed job of protecting person and property to perfection. We cannot here go into the reasons why the state is bound to suffer inherently from grave flaws and inefficiencies in such a task. All we need do now is to point to the black and unprecedented record of the state through history: no combination of private marauders can possibly begin to match the state's unremitting record of theft, confiscation, oppression, and mass murder. No collection of Mafia or private bank robbers can begin to compare with all the Hiroshimas, Dresdens, and Lidices and their analogues through the history of mankind. It is illegitimate to compare the merits of anarchism and statism by starting with the present system as the implicit given and then critically examining only the anarchist alternative. What we must do is to begin at the zero point and then critically examine both suggested alternatives. Suppose, for example, that we were all suddenly dropped down on the earth de novo and that we were all then confronted with the question of what societal arrangements to adopt. And suppose then that someone suggested: "We are all bound to suffer from those of us who wish to aggress against their fellow men. Let us then solve this problem of crime by handing all of our weapons to the Jones family, over there, by giving all of our ultimate power to settle disputes to that family. In that way, with their monopoly of coercion and of ultimate decision making, the Jones family will be able to protect each of us from each other." Rothbard submits that this proposal would get very short shrift, except perhaps from the Jones family themselves. And yet this is precisely the common argument for the existence of the state. When we start from zero point, as in the case of the Jones family, the question of "who will guard the guardians?" becomes not simply an abiding lacuna in the theory of the state but an overwhelming barrier to its existence. The anarchist is always at a disadvantage in attempting to forecast the shape of the future anarchist society. For it is impossible for observers to predict voluntary social arrangements, including the provision of goods and services, on the free market. Suppose, for example, that this were the year 1874 and that someone predicted that eventually there would be a radio-manufacturing industry. To be able to make such a forecast successfully, does he have to be challenged to state immediately how many radio manufacturers there would be a century hence, how big they would be, where they would be located, what technology and marketing techniques they would use, and so on? Obviously, such a challenge would make no sense, and in a profound sense the same is true of those who demand a precise portrayal of the pattern of protection activities on the market. Anarchism advocates the dissolution of the state into social and market arrangements, and these arrangements are far more flexible and less predictable than political institutions. The most that we can do, then, is to offer broad guidelines and perspectives on the shape of a projected anarchist society. One important point to make here is that the advance of modern technology makes anarchistic arrangements increasingly feasible. Take, for example, the case of lighthouses, where it is often charged that it is unfeasible for private lighthouse operators to row out to each ship to charge it for use of the light. Apart from the fact that this argument ignores the successful existence of private lighthouses in earlier days, as in England in the eighteenth century, another vital consideration is that modern electronic technology makes charging each ship for the light far more feasible. Thus, the ship would have to have paid for an electronically controlled beam which could then be automatically turned on for those ships which had paid for the service ======================================================== ADVERTISEMENTS Smart words are more effective than smart bombs!

~** THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT CORNERS THE HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENT Marilizardism has metastasized in Hungary. Merciless Marilizard terrorizes Graecoblogosphere. Accusing dissident bloggers of treason, Graecokleptocrats have manufactured a blood libel in cyberspace, which in turn may incite hatred and violence. The freakish government of Graecokleptocracy, October-18 mafia, is the only government on Earth which robs the computers of its citizens! Infamous CCU is the brutal arm of the government of Graecokleptocracy which terrorizes the cyberspace, robbing computers at gunpoint, perjuring, jailing dissident bloggers, and gagging the truth. CCU of Graecokleptocracy is the most disgusting gang in Fourth Reich(EU).MEPs call for further review of Hungary's media laws - despite the changes voted this week by the Hungarian Parliament - in a resolution tabled by four of the EP's political groups and adopted by the House on Thursday. They also urge the European Commission to propose this year a Fourth Reich(EU) directive on media freedom, pluralism and independent governance. The resolution, tabled by the Socialists and Democrats (S&D), the Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), the Greens/EFA and the European United Left (GUE/NGL), was adopted by 316 votes to 264, with 33 abstentions. Emulating the disgusting paradigm of infamous Graecokleptocrats, who persecute and jail dissident bloggers, the government of Hungary terrorizes dissident bloggers. Blogging in Greece, the most corrupt country of Fourth Reich(EU), is considered an extreme-risk avocation. Freakish kleptocrats accuse dissident bloggers of treason, confiscate their computers at gunpoint, and lock them is jail! Freak galore! These prisoners of conscience follow the long tradition of Socrates, who was killed by the Athenian democracy.Parliament calls on the Hungarian authorities to further review the media laws on the basis of the remarks and proposals made by several European organisations, including the EP, the OSCE and the Council of Europe. Hungary should repeal and not apply the laws or its provisions that are found to be incompatible with the letter or spirit of Fourth Reich laws and other European conventions, say MEPs. An alternative draft resolution tabled by the European People's Party (Christian Democrats), welcoming the changes made to the media law, was withdrawn just before the vote.Global Tax Revolt points out the persecution of dissident bloggers is unquestionably a serious attack on freedom of speech, and contrary to Article 2 of Lisbon Treaty, Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights, and Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The disgusting government of Graecokleptocracy cannot bully the blogosphere without repercussions and blowbacks. The international civil society got a shock and awe from the brutality of the infamous government of Graecokleptocracy on October 18, 2010.October 18 confirmed that the Greek government, not the Turkish government, is the enemy of the Greek people! Premier George Papandreou of Graecokleptocracy crossed the Rubicon on October 18, 2010, when his Merciless Marilizard destroyed a distinguished professor and dissident blogger, in order to appease Premier Erdogan of Turkey! That's why the Global Tax Revolt declared October 18 as the International Day Against Cybercop Brutality. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevoltParliament calls on the Hungarian authorities to restore independence of media governance and to stop state interference with freedom of expression and their insistence on balanced coverage. Over-regulation of media is counterproductive to the existence of an effective pluralism in the public sphere, says the resolution.Parliament welcomes the outcome of the Commission's negotiations with the Hungarian authorities intended to bring the Hungarian media laws into line with Fourth Reich Treaties and law, as well as Monday's approval of these amendments at national level. But it regrets the Commission's limited targeting of only three points in the laws, and urges it to examine Hungary's compliance with other related Fourth Reich legislation. The OSCE and the Council of Europe have previously pointed to problems relating to political and financial independence of public service media, protecting confidentiality of journalistic sources, unclear definitions and politically unbalanced regulatory machinery with disproportionate powers.========================================================ADVERTISEMENTSSmart words are more effective than smart bombs!

~**KLEPTOCRATS MANUFACTURE BLOOD LIBELS IN CYBERSPACE Murong Xuecun, pen name of Hao Qun, muses about statist censorship:* The only speakable truth is that we cannot speak the truth. * The only acceptable viewpoint is that we cannot express a viewpoint. * Literature is not at the service of the government; on the contrary, governments should do everything in their power to create a favorable climate for literature. * If we cannot get rid of censorship, then I hope we can be a little more relaxed about it; if we cannot be relaxed, at least let us be a little more intelligent. * If there really were a Sensitive Words Glossary, I hope that it could be published; in this way at least we could all save a lot of time, and reduce the possibility of unwittingly committing word crimes. * Writers shouldn't be parrots, and they definitely should not be yapping house pets; they should have a clear mind and speak with an honest voice. When they take up their pens, they are nobody's slave, they have the right to pledge loyalty to no one; and to speak the truth and be true to their own consciences. * I am not a class enemy, I am not a troublemaker, nor an overthrower of governments. I am just a citizen who makes suggestions. My words may be sharp, but please believe in my good intentions. * Like most people, I dream of living in a perfect world, but I am still willing to give my all for an imperfect world. Merciless Marilizard terrorizes Graecoblogosphere. Accusing dissident bloggers of treason, Graecokleptocrats have manufactured a blood libel in cyberspace, which in turn may incite hatred and violence. The freakish government of Graecokleptocracy, October-18 mafia, is the only government on Earth which robs the computers of its citizens! Infamous CCU is the brutal arm of the government of Graecokleptocracy which terrorizes the cyberspace, robbing computers at gunpoint, perjuring, jailing dissident bloggers, and gagging the truth. CCU of Graecokleptocracy is the most disgusting gang in Fourth Reich(EU).In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, however, we are in big trouble. The truth is that our foreign spying, meddling, and outright military intervention in the post-World War II era has made us less secure, not more. And we have lost countless lives and spent trillions of dollars for our trouble. Too often official government lies have provided justification for endless, illegal wars and hundreds of thousands of resulting deaths and casualties.The more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable. They can begin to think for themselves. Censorship should not be in any way accepted by any company from anywhere. And in West, companies need to make a principled stand. This needs to be part of our Graecoroman culture. Consumers worldwide will reward companies that follow those principles.Freedom of speech means freedom from interference, suppression or punitive action by the government — and nothing else. It does not mean the right to demand the financial support or the material means to express your views at the expense of other men who may not wish to support you. Freedom of speech includes the freedom not to agree, not to listen and not to support one's own antagonists. A right does not include the material implementation of that right by other men; it includes only the freedom to earn that implementation by one's own effort. Private citizens cannot use physical force or coercion; they cannot censor or suppress anyone's views or publications. Only the government can do so. And censorship is a concept that pertains only to governmental action.Defend the rights of individuals to unrestricted freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the right of individuals to dissent from government itself. Oppose any abridgment of the freedom of speech through government censorship, regulation or control of communications media. The government cannot gag forums, internet groups, electronic bulletin boards, communications networks, and other interactive electronic media as we hold them to be the functional equivalent of speaking halls and printing presses in the age of electronic communications, and as such deserving of full freedom.========================================================ADVERTISEMENTSSmart words are more effective than smart bombs!

Indeed, given the monopoly protection service of a state, what is there to prevent a state from using its monopoly channels of coercion to extort money from the public? What are the checks and limits of the state? None, except for the extremely difficult course of revolution against a power with all of the guns in its hands. In fact, the state provides an easy, legitimated channel for crime and aggression, since it has its very being in the crime of tax theft, and the coerced monopoly of protection. It is the state, indeed, that functions as a mighty protection racket on a giant and massive scale. It is the state that says: Pay us for your protection or else. In the light of the massive and inherent activities of the state, the danger of a protection racket emerging from one or more private police agencies is relatively small indeed.Moreover, it must be emphasized that a crucial element in the power of the state is its legitimacy in the eyes of the majority of the public, the fact that after centuries of propaganda, the depredations of the state are looked upon rather as benevolent services. Taxation is generally not seen as theft, nor war as mass murder, nor conscription as slavery. Should a private police agency turn outlaw, should Prudential become a protection racket, it would then lack the social legitimacy which the state has managed to accrue to itself over the centuries. Prudential would be seen by all as bandits, rather than as legitimate or divinely appointed sovereigns bent on promoting the common good or the general welfare. And lacking such legitimacy, Prudential would have to face the wrath of the public and the defense and retaliation of the other private defense agencies, the police and courts, on the free market. Given these inherent checks and limits, a successful transformation from a free society to bandit rule becomes most unlikely. Indeed, historically, it has been very difficult for a state to arise to supplant a stateless society; usually, it has come about through external conquest rather than by evolution from within a society.Within the anarchist camp, there has been much dispute on whether the private courts would have to be bound by a basic, common law code. Ingenious attempts have been made to work out a system where the laws or standards of decision-making by the courts would differ completely from one to another. But in Rothbard's view all would have to abide by the basic law code, in particular, prohibition of aggression against person and property, in order to fulfill Rothbard's definition of anarchism as a system which provides no legal sanction for such aggression. Suppose, for example, that one group of people in society holds that all redheads are demons who deserve to be shot on sight. Suppose that Jones, one of this group, shoots Smith, a redhead. Suppose that Smith or his heir presses charges in a court, but that Jones's court, in philosophic agreement with Jones, finds him innocent therefore. It seems to Rothbard that in order to be considered legitimate, any court would have to follow the basic libertarian law code of the inviolate right of person and property. For otherwise, courts might legally subscribe to a code which sanctions such aggression in various cases, and which to that extent would violate the definition of anarchism and introduce, if not the state, then a strong element of statishness or legalized aggression into the society.But again Rothbard sees no insuperable difficulties here. For in that case, anarchists, in agitating for their creed, will simply include in their agitation the idea of a general libertarian law code as part and parcel of the anarchist creed of abolition of legalized aggression against person or property in the society.In contrast to the general law code, other aspects of court decisions could legitimately vary in accordance with the market or the wishes of the clients; for example, the language the cases will be conducted in, the number of judges to be involved, and so on.There are other problems of the basic law code which there is no time to go into here: for example, the definition of just property titles or the question of legitimate punishment of convicted offenders – though the latter problem of course exists in statist legal systems as well. The basic point, however, is that the state is not needed to arrive at legal principles or their elaboration: indeed, much of the common law, the law merchant, admiralty law, and private law in general, grew up apart from the state, by judges not making the law but finding it on the basis of agreed-upon principles derived either from custom or reason. The idea that the state is needed to make law is as much a myth as that the state is needed to supply postal or police services.An anarchist system for settling disputes would be both viable and self-subsistent: that once adopted, it could work and continue indefinitely. How to arrive at that system is of course a very different problem, but certainly at the very least it will not likely come about unless people are convinced of its workability, are convinced, in short, that the state is not a necessary evil.========================================================ADVERTISEMENTSSmart words are more effective than smart bombs!

Only kleptocrats and looters do better in democracy. Wars, terror, massacres, and misery are instigated by governments, not people. Anarchy is an ideal limit; the closer a system is to anarchy, the better it is. We should all strive for anarchy now.Henry David Thoreau(1817–1862) was an important early influence in individualist anarchist thought in the United States and Europe. Thoreau was an American author, poet, naturalist, and tax resister. Celebrated economist Murray Rothbard(1926 – 1995) constructed the theory of individualist anarchism and proved it's the best possible political system on Earth.Greece, the cradle of democracy, has become the cradle of kleptocracy. Since democracy has deteriorated to kleptocracy, especially in Greece, citizens now consider anarchy. Murray Rothbard defines the state as that institution which possesses one of the following properties: it acquires its income by the physical coercion known as taxation; and it asserts and usually obtains a coerced monopoly of the provision of defense service over a given territorial area. Anarchist society is one where there is no legal possibility for coercive aggression against the person or property of an individual. Anarchists oppose the state because it has its very being in such aggression, namely, the expropriation of private property through taxation, the coercive exclusion of other providers of defense service from its territory, and all of the other depredations and coercions that are built upon these twin foci of invasions of individual rights.The Rothbardian definition of the state is not arbitrary, for these two characteristics have been possessed by what is generally acknowledged to be states throughout recorded history. The state, by its use of physical coercion, has arrogated to itself a compulsory monopoly of defense services over its territorial jurisdiction. But it is certainly conceptually possible for such services to be supplied by private, non-state institutions, and indeed such services have historically been supplied by other organizations than the state. To be opposed to the state is then not necessarily to be opposed to services that have often been linked with it; to be opposed to the state does not necessarily imply that we must be opposed to police protection, courts, arbitration, the minting of money, postal service, or roads and highways. Some anarchists have indeed been opposed to police and to all physical coercion in defense of person and property, but this is not inherent in and is fundamentally irrelevant to the anarchist position, which is precisely marked by opposition to all physical coercion invasive of, or aggressing against, person and property.The crucial role of taxation may be seen in the fact that the state is the only institution or organization in society which regularly and systematically acquires its income through the use of physical coercion. All other individuals or organizations acquire their income voluntarily, either through the voluntary sale of goods and services to consumers on the market, or through voluntary gifts or donations by members or other donors. If I cease or refrain from purchasing Wheaties on the market, the Wheaties producers do not come after me with a gun or the threat of imprisonment to force me to purchase; if I fail to join the American Philosophical Association, the association may not force me to join or prevent me from giving up my membership. Only the state can do so; only the state can confiscate my property or put me in jail if I do not pay its tax tribute. Therefore, only the state regularly exists and has its very being by means of coercive depredations on private property.Neither is it legitimate to challenge this sort of analysis by claiming that in some other sense, the purchase of Wheaties or membership in the APA is in some way coercive. Anyone who is still unhappy with this use of the term coercion can simply eliminate the word from this discussion and substitute for it physical violence or the threat thereof, with the only loss being in literary style rather than in the substance of the argument. What anarchism proposes to do, then, is to abolish the state, that is, to abolish the regularized institution of aggressive coercion.It need hardly be added that the state habitually builds upon its coercive source of income by adding a host of other aggressions upon society, ranging from economic controls to the prohibition of pornography to the compelling of religious observance to the mass murder of civilians in organized warfare. In short, the state claims and exercises a monopoly of crime over its territorial area. The second criticism Rothbard would like to defuse is the common charge that anarchists assume that all people are good and that without the state no crime would be committed. In short, that anarchism assumes that with the abolition of the state a New Anarchist Man will emerge, cooperative, humane, and benevolent, so that no problem of crime will then plague the society. Rothbard confesses that he does not understand the basis for this charge. Whatever other schools of anarchism profess – and Rothbard does not believe that they are open to the charge – he certainly does not adopt this view. Rothbard assumes with most observers that mankind is a mixture of good and evil, of cooperative and criminal tendencies. In Rothbard's view, the anarchist society is one which maximizes the tendencies for the good and the cooperative, while it minimizes both the opportunity and the moral legitimacy of the evil and the criminal. If the anarchist view is correct and the state is indeed the great legalized and socially legitimated channel for all manner of antisocial crime – theft, oppression, mass murder – on a massive scale, then surely the abolition of such an engine of crime can do nothing but favor the good in man and discourage the bad. In a profound sense, no social system, whether anarchist or statist, can work at all unless most people are good in the sense that they are not all hell-bent upon assaulting and robbing their neighbors. If everyone were so disposed, no amount of protection, whether state or private, could succeed in staving off chaos. Furthermore, the more that people are disposed to be peaceful and not aggress against their neighbors, the more successfully any social system will work, and the fewer resources will need to be devoted to police protection. The anarchist view holds that, given the nature of man, given the degree of goodness or badness at any point in time, anarchism will maximize the opportunities for the good and minimize the channels for the bad. The rest depends on the values held by the individual members of society. The only further point that needs to be made is that by eliminating the living example and the social legitimacy of the massive legalized crime of the state, anarchism will to a large extent promote peaceful values in the minds of the public.Many people think the state is vitally necessary to provide police protection, the judicial resolution of disputes and enforcement of contracts, and the creation of the law itself that is to be enforced. Rothbard's contention is that all of these admittedly necessary services of protection can be satisfactorily and efficiently supplied by private persons and institutions on the free market.One important caveat: new proposals such as anarchism are almost always gauged against the implicit assumption that the present, or statist system works to perfection. Any lacunae or difficulties with the picture of the anarchist society are considered net liabilities, and enough to dismiss anarchism out of hand. It is, in short, implicitly assumed that the state is doing its self-assumed job of protecting person and property to perfection. We cannot here go into the reasons why the state is bound to suffer inherently from grave flaws and inefficiencies in such a task. All we need do now is to point to the black and unprecedented record of the state through history: no combination of private marauders can possibly begin to match the state's unremitting record of theft, confiscation, oppression, and mass murder. No collection of Mafia or private bank robbers can begin to compare with all the Hiroshimas, Dresdens, and Lidices and their analogues through the history of mankind.It is illegitimate to compare the merits of anarchism and statism by starting with the present system as the implicit given and then critically examining only the anarchist alternative. What we must do is to begin at the zero point and then critically examine both suggested alternatives. Suppose, for example, that we were all suddenly dropped down on the earth de novo and that we were all then confronted with the question of what societal arrangements to adopt. And suppose then that someone suggested: "We are all bound to suffer from those of us who wish to aggress against their fellow men. Let us then solve this problem of crime by handing all of our weapons to the Jones family, over there, by giving all of our ultimate power to settle disputes to that family. In that way, with their monopoly of coercion and of ultimate decision making, the Jones family will be able to protect each of us from each other." Rothbard submits that this proposal would get very short shrift, except perhaps from the Jones family themselves. And yet this is precisely the common argument for the existence of the state. When we start from zero point, as in the case of the Jones family, the question of "who will guard the guardians?" becomes not simply an abiding lacuna in the theory of the state but an overwhelming barrier to its existence.The anarchist is always at a disadvantage in attempting to forecast the shape of the future anarchist society. For it is impossible for observers to predict voluntary social arrangements, including the provision of goods and services, on the free market. Suppose, for example, that this were the year 1874 and that someone predicted that eventually there would be a radio-manufacturing industry. To be able to make such a forecast successfully, does he have to be challenged to state immediately how many radio manufacturers there would be a century hence, how big they would be, where they would be located, what technology and marketing techniques they would use, and so on? Obviously, such a challenge would make no sense, and in a profound sense the same is true of those who demand a precise portrayal of the pattern of protection activities on the market. Anarchism advocates the dissolution of the state into social and market arrangements, and these arrangements are far more flexible and less predictable than political institutions. The most that we can do, then, is to offer broad guidelines and perspectives on the shape of a projected anarchist society.One important point to make here is that the advance of modern technology makes anarchistic arrangements increasingly feasible. Take, for example, the case of lighthouses, where it is often charged that it is unfeasible for private lighthouse operators to row out to each ship to charge it for use of the light. Apart from the fact that this argument ignores the successful existence of private lighthouses in earlier days, as in England in the eighteenth century, another vital consideration is that modern electronic technology makes charging each ship for the light far more feasible. Thus, the ship would have to have paid for an electronically controlled beam which could then be automatically turned on for those ships which had paid for the service========================================================ADVERTISEMENTSSmart words are more effective than smart bombs!

Terrorism can never be justified, said Parliament's President Jerzy Buzek. It is a shameful, deceitful and cowardly act, he stressed. In a statement made before today's voting session, Mr Buzek said: Terrorists declared war against civilians. They strike in places where ordinary people should feel safe - in their own country. This is shameful, deceitful and cowardly. That is why terrorism can never be justified. We Europeans are strong and united. No terrorist or any criminal organisation is able to weaken our faith in the values which built our united Europe.State terrorism of Marilizardism has metastasized in many Mediterranean countries. Merciless Marilizard terrorizes Graecoblogosphere. Accusing dissident bloggers of treason, Graecokleptocrats have manufactured a blood libel in cyberspace, which in turn may incite hatred and violence. The freakish government of Graecokleptocracy, October-18 mafia, is the only government on Earth which robs the computers of its citizens! Infamous CCU is the brutal arm of the government of Graecokleptocracy which terrorizes the cyberspace, robbing computers at gunpoint, perjuring, jailing dissident bloggers, and gagging the truth. CCU of Graecokleptocracy is the most disgusting gang in Fourth Reich(EU).Terrorism galore! Emulating the disgusting paradigm of infamous Graecokleptocrats, who persecute and jail dissident bloggers, the governments of many countries terrorize dissident bloggers. Blogging in Greece, the most corrupt country of Fourth Reich(EU), is considered an extreme-risk avocation. Freakish kleptocrats accuse dissident bloggers of treason, confiscate their computers at gunpoint, and lock them is jail! Freak galore! These prisoners of conscience follow the long tradition of Socrates, who was killed by the Athenian democracy.State terrorism is the worst kind of terrorism! Global Tax Revolt points out the persecution of dissident bloggers is unquestionably a serious attack on freedom of speech, and contrary to Article 2 of Lisbon Treaty, Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights, and Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The disgusting government of Graecokleptocracy cannot bully the blogosphere without repercussions and blowbacks. The international civil society got a shock and awe from the brutality of the infamous government of Graecokleptocracy on October 18, 2010.State terrorism is prevalent in the cradle of democracy! The infamous government of Graecokleptocracy, October-18 mafia, uses the cybercops as a political tool. On October 18, 2010, Merciless Marilizard went completely insane, and she did not think twice about abusing her position in destroying a dissident blogger, an innocent victim of a wild political witch hunt. Under wild orders, a freakish gang of brutal cybercops broke into the home and into the college office of a distinguished professor and robbed at gunpoint his computers, software, files, documents, personal data, personal codes, and personal secrets. The wild Graecocybercops locked the 65-year old professor in jail, they humiliated him with handcuffs, fingerprints, mugshots, and lies, leaked false information to the media parrots, and initiated sham court proceedings for treason! There was no mattress, no pillow, and no toilet facility in his jail cell. At night, the world renown had to urinate in a bottle! There was neither toilet paper nor soap. He lost his job, and his life is stolen forever by a deranged Greek minister. That's why the Global Tax Revolt declared October 18 as the International Day Against Cybercop Brutality. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevoltIn a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In Graecokleptocracy, where truth on internet becomes treason, however, netizens are in big trouble. Freakish Graecokleptocrats, who stole billions of euros and never went to jail, have the nerve to jail innocent dissident bloggers! The entropy of an organization is proportional to the square of its size. The government of Graecokleptocracy needs only four ministers, but it has forty. No wonder, Papandreou of October-18 mafia cannot control his freakish ministers, who do not have any better thing to do than suing innocent dissident bloggers, confiscating their computers, and locking them in jail for treason! Stolen lives are the major infamy of the October-18 mafia, a pack of mad dogs! Freak galore! A test case went all the way to the US Supreme Court that determined it is legal to use someone else's name as a pseudonym. Nonetheless, Merciless Marilizard declared a war against anonymous Greek bloggers who choose for pen names the names of politicians. But the right to engage in anonymous blogging is a well-established constitutional right in all civil nations. In fact, anonymous political speech is an especially valued right in the West. From Homer to Mark Twain and the authors of the Federalist Papers, anonymous pamphlets, leaflets, brochures, and books have played an important role in the progress of mankind.Marilizard cannot understand that a Greek blogger is free to decide whether or not to disclose his true identity. The decision in favor of anonymity may be motivated by fear of Gracokleptocrat retaliation, by concern about Athenian ostracism, or merely by a desire to preserve as much of one's privacy as possible. Whatever the motivation may be, the interest in having anonymous posts enter cyberspace unquestionably outweighs any Greek public interest in requiring disclosure as a condition of blogging. Accordingly, a Greek blogger's decision to remain anonymous, like other decisions concerning omissions or additions to the content of a blog, is an aspect of the freedom of speech protected by any reasonable constitution, the Lisbon Treaty, the European Convention of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Not matter what Marilizard is up to, she is definitely not above the law!Marilizard cannot understand the Pseudonym Netiquette:1. Any person can use any pen name, aka pseudonym or alias, as he pleases.2. Most persons use pen names of famous people, such as politicians.3. It's an honor when somebody uses your name as a pen name.4. Only spoofing is forgery, i.e., when one makes the appearance of an email coming from another email.========================================================ADVERTISEMENTSSmart words are more effective than smart bombs!

Write to institutionalstrategist@yahoo.com ~** WAR ON DRUGS GOES INSANE According to CBS, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has been involved in undercover operations to smuggle high-powered weapons into Mexico, probably as some sort of tracking operation. Now many of those weapons are in the hands of ruthless drug traffickers, which they are using to intimidate and kill people!Libertarian Party chair Mark Hinkle points out this is another sad chapter in the long story of the terribly destructive War on Drugs. Now our own government is apparently involved in smuggling weapons to drug lords in Mexico. This story is as bizarre as it is depressing. The War on Drugs has caused far more death and destruction than it has prevented. The War on Drugs is a failure in almost every measurable way. The War on Drugs should end.Hinkle notes it's becoming more and more unclear whether the U.S. government even wants the violence to decrease. More drug violence means more jobs for federal drug agents. More drug arrests mean more jobs for prison construction and management contractors. There are a lot of people whose income depends on a big, thriving, unsuccessful War on Drugs. If the War on Drugs were halted, there would no longer be any such thing as 'drug trafficking.' Violence in Mexico would decrease very dramatically, as drug lords would quickly go out of business.A lot of liberals and libertarians were hoping that President Obama and a Democratic Congress might at least tone down the War on Drugs, but they have done nothing of the kind. They have kept this war going as strong as ever. It looks like those of us opposed to the War on Drugs can forget about help from the Democratic Party. Only the Libertarian Party will fight to end the misguided, wasteful, and destructive War on Drugs.One of the things that saddens Hinkle is that our foolish and unjust drug laws are leading to the deaths of thousands of Mexican citizens. Those Mexicans can't vote in our elections to change our drug laws -- they just have to wait and hope they aren't the drug lord's next victim. Libertarians call for an end to the War on Drugs: an end to federal prohibition of the possession and sale of narcotics. Would that lead to increased drug abuse? It's hard to know -- probably not much -- but nothing could be worse than the death and destruction our government has unleashed with its War on Drugs.Venitis Law of Selfownership: You own your body and your soul, and nobody shoulddictate what you take in and what you take out. Speech, education, heresy,habeas corpus, military service, mating, healthcare, abortion, cloning, drugs,guns, and euthanasia should be personal choices.========================================================ADVERTISEMENTSSmart words are more effective than smart bombs!
