Blockrants

Blockrants is a study of government. The more you study it the more you understand it's true nature.

Government is a cancer. Government has one basic tool. It's tool is a hammer.

Without judges, jailers, armed employees wearing costumes, and, ultimately, bullets of every possible size and variation.... you would have ... no government. No hammer.

"When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail."

But that simple declaration explains more about what is going on in our world, right now, better than ten years of boring political science and economics courses in the best universities.

It seems to me that everyone approaches political questions from the point of view of some very fundamental beliefs or suppositions.

They rarely give up on their earliest impressions.

It is my theory, that if more people were to try to imagine what life might be like without the sledge hammer of the state hanging over their heads, many would find themselves radically transformed into true freedom lovers.

If that day comes it will represent a millenial change in the course of history.

Power to the people!
