Damn ... I am so glad that I came across your writings Jon ... they are sensitive, full of compassion, and a great counter balance to a lot of contemptuous content produced by self identifying "libertarians/individualists" and especially from cult Objectivists who see compassion as a "weakness" and any instance of altruism as a mortal sin deserving of a Randian Hell ...

As Murray Rothbard says, "Government is organized crime writ large"

The government is not your country, but it sure will lie and say it is, "Here's yer gun, Johnny!"

True men don't worry 'bout no cryin girls.
