  • They Are Losing
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on February 21, 2022 at 4:15 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Constant lies and distortions from the mainstream media. Authoritarian acts from governments everywhere. More and more repression in most countries. For some, this may seem like they're winning, but they're not.

  • Adolf Hitler Was Definitively a Socialist
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on February 15, 2022 at 8:49 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Ignoramuses like to paint Hitler as a right-wing anti-socialist fascist. He was a left-wing anti-capitalist socialist and fascist, without a doubt. And a disgusting murderous racist to boot. Enjoy.

  • Carl Watner, Rest in Peace (1948-2020)
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on December 10, 2020 at 4:35 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Carl Watner, founding member of The Voluntaryist academic journal/newsletter (along with Wendy McElroy and George H. Smith, in 1982) passed away yesterday after a long fight with cancer.

  • Walter Williams, Rest in Peace (1936-2020)
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on December 2, 2020 at 4:34 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Dr. Walter Williams passed away last night, December 1st, 2020. I've mentioned him a plethora of times, along with Dr. Thomas Sowell, as the two springboards that got me into economics, liberty, and ultimately voluntaryism, peaceful parenting, and radical unschooling. Dr. Williams was the first, however, to get me thinking about economics and liberty. He will hold a special place in my heart, and I'm honored to have sat at his feet and learned so much from […]

  • Salt Lake City Corporation vs. Skyler J. Collins
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on August 22, 2019 at 3:25 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Back in April of this year, SLC Corp. made the allegation against me that I have violated their code, specifically the bit about prohibiting short term rentals (Airbnb, HomeAway) in my neck of the woods. Since then, I have defended myself on the grounds that they lack evidence that their code applies to me, giving them jurisdiction.

  • Why Flexible Disaster Pricing is Necessary
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on September 6, 2017 at 5:34 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). This lady is able and willing to purchase so much water because the price is being held down by government. What happens when the next person arrives, in arguably more desperate need than her for water, and its all gone?

  • “You Shouldn’t Ever Need Proof to Believe a Rape Victim”
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on July 28, 2017 at 10:15 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). I agree with the title of this post, written by "Nicole" on Facebook. I don't know Nicole, but she's a font of wisdom. I'm thinking we should go further.

  • Did Free Markets Create Government?
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on July 27, 2017 at 8:39 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). At first thought this claim might seem true: Governments were created by the free market. I mean, if governments exist, and they didn't before, then the free market must have created them, right?

  • Chafing Against the Law
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on July 26, 2017 at 11:10 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). This singular pursuit has been my solitary area of participation in the political process. I've given Libertas my hard earned money in the past because of the success I have seen from their efforts. Unfortunately, the parasites and predators that are government actors have continued to push back against these successes, unsurprisingly.

  • Life, Eating Animals, and Ethics
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on July 25, 2017 at 9:38 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Do I value society with animals that I find delicious? No. Of course not. I value their taste and the nutrition that they provide. That's it. And I obviously don't value the hordes of insects I slaughter on a daily basis with my car. Who does?

  • Alternative Markets Saved Me a Boatload
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on July 23, 2017 at 4:05 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). I'm sitting here in the Salt Lake City airport about to board a flight to Phoenix to join a startup poised to disrupt the foreign/crypto exchange and savings markets.

  • Life is Shit and Rainbows
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on July 17, 2017 at 5:33 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Maybe for some people, it's mostly shit, and for others it's mostly rainbows. But I defy anyone to show me a person whose life did not contain both, however brief it may have been.

  • Consent Should Be Obvious
    by Skyler J. Collins (Editor) on July 8, 2017 at 10:52 pm

    Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). The standard for consent should be a high level of obviousness. For example, this daredevil was gored nearly to death by bulls and has stated explicitly that he plans to partake in the experience again.
