Not the remixes, while they were cool, first one especially, but the loving idea you people try to indoctrinate goddamn schoolchildren with targeted advertising for the army.
loving christ. Don't you have some sort of ethics committee or some such rot to stop this kinda poo poo?

Pic is by Art Spiegelman, dude that made the Holocaust Mice Comic. It was made in '93.

I love how so many of them talk about economics in the same way that the fundamentalists talk about the Bible; they may not have read anything about it but some pleasant authority figure has told them exactly what to think about it!

You'll be surprised at how much Paulites read into the crank economics that the Mises Institute churns out, with such great articles as suggesting that bribery and blackmail are beneficial economic activities.

I honestly can't tell if this article is pro-libertarianism or anti-libertarianism, or if it's simply stating the "facts" of what core libertarian belief system means as far as free-market and self-ownership is concerned. Either way it did nothing but make me despise libertarianism even more than I already do, which is impressive.

Daily Kos just did a thing on it, it was an accidental mixup with a set of signs for school fields, which you do need a permit to use. The head of the deparment went out and took them down herself once she found out about it.

There's a difference between "reported to the police" and "filled out an anonymous survey in a study"

If DARPA would just design an over the shoulder/back of the helmet cam hooked up to some video goggles, soldiers could go for the full third-person shooter experience. They could even add achievements and player rankings to keep the soldiers interested.

Man I love how libertarians try to craft their own ~unique~ definition of capitalism that literally no non-libertarian scholar subscribes to. Who knew that just about every historian, economist, and social scientist has no idea what they're talking about when they refer to "capitalism?" Clearly we should be taking more queues from daily Mises readers and fewer from people who actually write books.

Who's responsible for this hilariously awful website, anyway?
