Jefferson’s Judicial Blunders
Here’s an article a friend sent me on Jefferson, as I seemed to be on a “Jefferson kick.” I haven’t read it all yet so I can’t state my opinion, but you should check it out.

War is Murder
A fascinating article from LewRockwell.com on the nature of war in these modern times and the brutality of American foreign policy.
An Abolition of Overtime Taxes is Overdue, Part 2
The reason I say none at all instead of merely a lower rate on overtime earnings is that a man can get by on 40 hours, (as is implied by the setting up and periodical increases in the minimum wage laws) and that it is only in pursuit of bettering oneself and his family, in pursuit of the American Dream that a man will work more than 40 hours. Thus if a man can sustain himself on 40 hours a week, it should follow that the government will also be able to sustain itself on the revenue it expropriates from…
An Abolition of Overtime Taxes is Overdue, Part 1
* Lest you think I am abandoning my site to other writers, this week happens to be extremely busy, between teaching, school and doing a garage sale, so I hope to get back to writing every day, but in the meantime you can read these interesting posts by a friend. I can not write on this matter without including the preface that I am opposed to all taxation in general, and the income tax in particular. That the government, to say nothing of the centralized federal government has anything to do whatsoever in regards to the transactions and trades of…
Libertarianism and Christianity?
Here’s a great article by Prof. Hulsmann over at LewRockwell.com on the 4 positions Libertarians take towards Christianity and religion in general. I appreciated Prof. Hulsmann’s style of speaking down at Mises U, he became one of my favorite professors by the end of the week. And now to read this article is fascinating. There’s something about his style of writing. I can’t quite say it is like Rothbard’s in its clarity and “down-to-earth-ness.” But on the other hand, it is much easier than Mises. It is interesting because Prof. Hulsmann has a way of fitting so much into a…
What the Tea Party Needs to Hear, Part 2
And now we are left with three topics that, were it not for Lincoln, we might not have to discuss, taxation, the military, and the federal reserve. If prostitution is the oldest profession known to the world, taxation is without a doubt the second oldest. Taxation is the extortion of money through the threat, or actual use of violence. when it is done by a gang, or by a common criminal, it is known as theft, or extortion, but when it is done by the most powerful gang in the land, and the strongest criminals it is called taxation. Go….
What the Tea Party Needs to Hear, Part 1*
It seems rather strange to have someone else posting on www.savannahliston.com, but there are two reasons, 1) Savannah Liston doesn’t always have the time to write posts and 2) sometimes (well, a lot of times) other people can say things better than Savannah Liston does, so why not let them have a go at it? The author of this post is Andrew Hayes. I’m stealing his bio from his FB profile…Andrew Hayes is married and presumably happily married to someone who will remain unnamed until the aforesaid chooses otherwise. He appears to live in Oklahoma, but I can’t be sure…
Something to Read
Still very busy, after today I will be less so…I hope…but in the meantime, you can read this article from LewRockwell.com about why everyone mainstream hates the Rothbardian School.

While I usually try to write something original for you…the beginning of this week is proving to be quite crammed. And I mean crammed. It is a new experience to be teaching two classes. I’m used to a speech or two but preparing for two classes each week…that’s a little different. I’ve probably said this before, but I’m teaching two classes, preparing for two speeches, trying to keep up with this site, work on my Intro to Economics Workshop, do Spanish, and a myriad of other things. In light of that, today I’m going to give you some random links…
Did You Get a License To Grow Those Tomatoes?
Mac Slavo writes about the massive egg recall and the excuse it is giving the government to increase control of our food supply. The title of this blog post reminded me of the importance of being consistent in my beliefs. “Did you get a license to grow those tomatoes?” is where the rubber hits the road, so to speak. For you see, I do not like tomatoes. Not at all. They are tolerable in the canned tomato soup…probably because there isn’t much tomato to speak of in such liquid. But raw and in chunks…no, no, I cannot ingest it. So…
