New Private Post: Life Changes Again!

I am, therefore I must think...
The purpose of this blog is similar to many blogs out there: to spread ideas. Particularly my ideas. I consider myself a rational, active minded person. I love the discussion of ideas but if you use any logical fallacies, prepare to be called out on them. I am interested in individual liberty and the philosophies involved with liberty. I refuse to label myself as this type of philosopher or that, because I think broad labels lead to dogmatism and regression of ideas. Respect begets respect, so keep that in mind when commenting.
Please feel free to browse through my public posts to get a feel for who I am and what I think. If you are not a member, I have just recently made it so you can comment on my public posts, however the comment will first need to be approved by me, so please be patient.

Everyday Anarchy
May 5th, 2008, 3:46 pm
When I was an Objectivist, I had an ambivalent relationship with anarchy. When reading Rand I was never comfortable with the idea of a government, especially when John Galt himself said, “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will not live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” I didn’t see a reason why any man or group of men should have power over anyone else. However, when I thought of anarchy I thought of gang warfare, no better than the way our governments work now. Then I thought of my own life, and thought about the lack of unchosen relationships, the lack of violence, the lack of any sort of real control in my own life and wondered why that couldn’t work on a world-wide scale.
I ask you to at least read the first chapter, and if you like what you read, keep going! It’s free and short, so there are no excuses!
You can find the PDF and Audio here.
Let me know what you think! And thank you Stefan Molyneux for releasing this book for free.
