New Poll Finds 86 Percent Of Americans Don’t Want To Have A Country Anymore [2006]

“Among the 86 percent of poll respondents who were in favor of discontinuing the nation, the most frequently cited reasons were a lack of significant results from the current democratic process (36 percent), dissatisfaction with customer service (28 percent), and exhaustion (22 percent).  Of those who were against maintaining an American nation, 77 percent said they believe that having a country is ‘counter to the best interests of Americans.’ Twelve percent said ‘the time and effort citizens spend on the country could be better spent elsewhere,’ and 8 percent said they just didn’t care.”

Poll shows huge support for Rand Paul’s filibuster stance on drone attacks

“When Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) filibustered for nearly 13 hours two weeks ago, he had the American people on his side.  A new Gallup poll shows a huge majority of Americans — 79 percent — supported Paul’s position that drone strikes should not be used on American soil against Americans suspected of terrorism. Just 13 percent say it would be okay.  Americans also don’t support drone strikes against any suspected terrorist on American soil (25 percent support, 66 percent oppose) or against U.S. citizens suspected of terrorism abroad (41 percent support, 52 percent support).”

Ben Swann Is Optimistic About the Internet Reformation

Ben Swann Is Optimistic About the Internet Reformation

“There IS something going on … and every day we are introduced to new people who realize it.  Ben Swann, for instance – an anchor from Cincinnati. We had never heard of Ben Swann but he just won a Twitter ‘Shorty’ award for journalism – which is kind of a mainstream accomplishment.  In this video, Swann provides us with a good verbalization of what we call the Internet Reformation. It’s an eloquent statement and one we agree with, at least partially.  We’re glad he won his award and we’re glad he’s speaking out optimistically about freedom’s progress in the US.”

Imagining a Legal Basis for Obama’s Overseas Assassinations

thelrcblog-50016

“Thanks to someone who has reservations about Obama’s murders and leaked it, we have a copy of a secret legal opinion that is supposed to lay out the conditions under which such presidentially-directed murders are legal. This heretofore secret document imagines a legal basis for Obama’s overseas assassinations. Imagine is not quite the right word. It fantasizes such a basis. It makes it up by stringing together words that are supposed to make a plausible case. On inspection, however, this case collapses. It is rather like setting a wall on what is supposed to be concrete, but actually is pudding.”

In China, Widening Discontent Among the Communist Party Faithful

“Barely two months into their jobs, the Communist Party’s new leaders are being confronted by the challenges posed by a constituency that has generally been one of the party’s most ardent supporters: the middle-class and well-off Chinese who have benefited from a three-decade economic boom.  Ordinary Chinese buy into a grand bargain: the party guarantees economic growth, and in exchange the people do not question the way the party rules. Now, many whose lives improved under the boom are reneging on their end of the deal, and in ways more vocal than ever before. Their ranks include billionaires and students, movie stars and homemakers.”

Illegal Drugs: The great experiment

“Decriminalising consumption does nothing to break the grip of gangsters over the drug business. For that to happen, production and distribution also need to be legalised. That is why the experiment under way in the United States is so important. Colorado and Washington now have the chance to create a legal but regulated market in marijuana, similar to those for tobacco or alcohol.  One immediate consequence is that the United States will be in breach of the UN Convention. Good. It should now join Latin American governments in an effort to reform that outdated document to allow signatories room to experiment. Imposing a failed policy on everybody benefits nobody.”

Seasteading: Striking at the Root of Bad Government

“We know it is possible to live on the ocean; we know there are ways to make money there, and our mission is to drive down the costs of seasteading to transform the ocean from potential frontier into real frontier and eventually into just another option with some serious advantages. This will lead to experimentation and innovation in governance and force existing States to improve or wither away for a lack of residents. The challenges are large but the potential payoffs are much, much larger. By transforming the political problem of bad governance into a hard but achievable technological problem, which humans have a knack for solving, we make success possible.”
