One really can't see the voluntaryism of anarcho-capitolism working, because it depends on human nature and the strength of culture to replace the total state.
Currently we live under what the late philosopher Sam Francis called a centralizing anarcho-tyranny.
There is no rule of law, because the men in black skirts interpret the law to their own satisfaction.
Laws, particularly the Constitution, exist to protect the people, not promote issues or enhance the stature of politicians.
We actually call politicians "law-makers," as if that were their job.
So we live in tyranny with laws that have no means of enforcing themselves.
The well-known philosopher and science fiction writer, Jerry Pournelle writes,
"We do not live by rule of law, because no one can possibly go a day without breaking one or another of the goofy laws that have been imposed on us over the years. No one even knows all the laws that apply to almost anything we do now. We live in a time of selective enforcement of law."
The managerial state replaces the whole of society and makes it all a part of the state. The state controls our schools and highways, what we eat, watch and listen to.
It has become our life.
Take Joe the Plumber. The Corporate Media sneers at him, because he has no plumber's license.
Why does a piece of paper make him a plumber, in their eyes? Because that piece of paper comes from the state, instead of from the local community which employs him.
The state is sacred to the Media, just as culture, religion and nationality used to be sacred to all Americans.
In order to win, we must escape the shackles of the centralizing, Internationalist state, by defunding it, deprogramming ourselves and assisting our fellow Americans in doing the same.
It will take years of patient toil to regain the sovereignty of the states, and the cut the empire of D.C. down, at the knees.
We cannot win straight out elections, even on a local level, because the government, party system and the media are all against us. But we can win on ballot initiatives like the Eminent Domain issue. State bureaucrats knew this and feared a win in November, which is why they were so eager to stifle the petition on a slight technicality.
There is currently an online petition to end the personal property tax, which we hope will soon be approved by the MO SOS office.
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/end-personal-property-tax-in-the-state-of-missouri/signatures.html
Running for minor offices, some of them non-political like the up-coming Cooperative Extension Council elections, will gain advantages for us, because these are elections which we can win.
We can win on taxes. We can win ending the party system and re-instituting the rule of law. We can win on stifling bureaucracy and re-building community and localist culture.
The American people, especially the younger generation, are tired of the two parties and their pretensions.
It will be a long, ugly knifefight, but we can at least achieve parity and some concrete results. Big Government's adherents have only limited stamina and have never faced a serious challenge before.
As members of the Campaign for Liberty, we should probably be considering our long term goals.
We cannot yield to nostalgia, and try to make things as they once were. Turning back the clock won't accomplish anything, because time always goes forward anyway.
Some practical goals, one might venture to suggest, are as follows.
1. Implementation of the genuinely free market Austrian System of Economics. The Free Market Theory of Economics and Banking championed by Ron Paul, has NEVER been tried before.
2. Ending the Political Party System
3. While one cannot see the practicality of eliminating the Constitution, one must note that many of the Found Father's feared that it was too weak a Document and time has proven them correct.
The Constitution has been relentlessly trampled upon, since 1800 and is in need of an over-hauling in order to strengthen it.
One would not suggest that the Constitution should be changed in event of another Constitutional Convention, but that its language should be made strengthened and made impermeable to attack.

University Extension and N.A.I.S.
An extract from a paper I recently wrote, on Cooperative Extension
N.A.I.S. is perhaps a minor facet of Agenda 21. We frequently hear the term, “Sustainable Agriculture” used in conjunction with it.
Which produces the interesting question, who determines and, or, what is “sustainable agriculture?”
Is this not a blatant attempt at control?
However, we might briefly consider the role of Cooperative Extension in furthering N.A.I.S.
Cooperative Extension, as an arm of the U.S.D.A. was in the forefront of the N.A.I.S. implementation effort.
There are a great number of people who are opposed to, or only grudgingly accept of, the National Animal ID System.
It is worthwhile convincing them that it is possible to stop N.A.I.S. by means of the Extension Council.
Formerly, Extension Councils were conditioned, by University “experts” to accept the National Animal I.D. system as a matter of course.

The Fire-Blunt Ad
Ad will be appearing in at least one newspaper in Barry County, this week.
This is the last week in which newspapers are willing to run negative political advertising.
Roy Blunt’s Vote is for Sale to the Highest Bidder.
Congressman Blunt betrayed his roots, wife and constituency.
In 2003, Rep. Blunt divorced his wife of 31 years to marry Altria lobbyist Abigail Perlman.
Rep. Blunt has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from Corporations like Phillip Morris and UPS to pass legislation harmful to the American People’s interests.
In 2002, Blunt quietly inserted a provision benefiting Altria-owned Philip Morris into the Homeland Security Act. The measure was pulled when his Republican colleagues discovered it.
Congressman Blunt tries to bailout his big business buddies with our tax dollars.
• In 2001 Blunt led the effort to secure a $15 billion airline bailout bill for the failing Airline Industry.
• Blunt shepherded a second airline bailout bill in 2003 worth billions.
Roy Blunt voted for the $700 billion Wall Street Bailout which would Include Foreign Banks and Wealthy Foreign Investors like George Soros.
700 billion dollars is as much money as the combined annual budgets of the Departments of Defense, Education and Health and Human Services. It amounts to $2,300 for every man, woman, and child in America.
The plan raises the national debt ceiling to $11.3 trillion. That is $11,300,000,000,000.

A very timely, professionally produced video:

The Face of the Next Generation
Lyrics
This is my daughter, this is the face of the next generation
She will be left to pay all of the debts of this once great nation
She won't have everything I had and more
The money's been spent on bailouts, graft and war
Oh the crises are coming at a frightening speed
The dollar's collapsing and the banks all need
Another five trillion to balance their books on the back
Of the next generation
This is my daughter, born in the land of the free
She'll never know the way this country was meant to be
One place in the world where your life belonged to you
Not a king, not a pope, not the state did you need kneel down to
Oh the crises are coming at a frightening speed
The dollar's collapsing and the banks all need
Another five trillion to balance their books on the back
Of the next generation
Our country's dying from this fascist cancer
More regulation is their only answer
But freedom from Washington's the only chance for the next generation
The constitution was the one thing due me
McCain and Obama are you listening to me
A slave of the state is the way you view me
And the next generation
This is my daughter, this is the face of the next generation

What We Eat & Who We Are
Posted by Caleb Stegall on October 18, 2008
"A few weeks ago I attended a meeting of Kansas secessionists. The participants were rowdy, complaining of economic gigantism squashing them flat and bureaucratic thugs hounding their every move. They were all sick and tired of worker-ant existence in the hive-mind of American groupthink and they wanted out. Despite the quintessentially political nature of the gathering, politics proper never came up. Conservative and liberal meant nothing in that room, and party affiliation even less.
Kansas patriots fomenting disunion? No, though there are a few of those kicking around these parts. These were local farmers organizing a farmer’s market. I had offered the parking lot of my law firm for their use, and was mostly just an observer of the scene. The locals probably couldn’t tell you the first thing about the politics of secession, but the Spirit of ’76 showed up in force. Damned were the federal busy-bodies who tell local farmers what they can and can’t sell; condemned were the centralized agents of agri-business who want ID chips implanted in livestock; mocked were the credentialed witch-doctors from the department of agriculture who own the brand “organic.”
All that was left undone was a patriotic march to the local Enormo-Mart to dump the limp and faded out-of-season tomatoes imported from South America into the local pond (which isn’t quite Boston Harbor, but it would have served). And while there was no Declaration, it was clear that these small growers wanted out—out of forced participation in the economic union of cheap mass production, central planning, credit money, and the ignorant consumerism they despised."

.
I called offices of Congress Blunt and Senator Bond, today, introduced myself as a member in good standing of the Republican Party and a member of the Barry County Republican Central Committee. I requested that they vote again the Wall Street Bailout.
(Representative Roy Blunt's office number is 417-889-1800 (R-MO)
Senator Kit Bond 202-224-5721 (R-MO))
But of course, I was wasting my breath.
This year, we might help Travis Maddox Bail Blunt Out of Office.

Roy Blunt thinks(?) you want another new bailout!
From this article:
Hoyer, Blunt hopeful of progress on rescue bill
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081001/ap_on_bi_ge/financial_meltdown
(excerpt...)
Has a bailout REALLY become "more appealing" to you now?
NOW is the time to make clear where you stand... NO BAILOUT OF ANY KIND.
Email "Representative" Roy Blunt by clicking here:
www.blunt.house.gov/Contact.aspx
FYI: Here's a copy of my message to good ol' Roy Boy:
The AP just released an article saying that you were "...particularly heartened by indications the legislation has become more appealing to constituents back home."
You and I know that isn't true - far from it. Especially now that the shock is over, and the stock market rebounded (all as expected), people are AGAINST any sort of bailout - no matter if you cloak in terms of "rescue" or hide it in other bills.
Listen to your constituents and represent them as your oath demands. NO BAILOUTS of ANY kind. Corporations that make bad decisions must be allowed to fail - no matter what the temporary hardship. That is capitalism. Bailouts are nothing but a combination of a socialist/facist nightmare, and are as un-American as the Kremlin and the Red Star. You should know that.
Hoyer, Blunt hopeful of progress on rescue bill
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081001/ap_on_bi_ge/financial_meltdown
(excerpt...)
"WASHINGTON - Two House leaders said Wednesday headway is being made toward getting the $700 billion financial industry rescue bill through Congress, thanks partly to a provision increasing insurance for people's deposits. President Bush planned to call lawmakers asking for their support ahead of a crucial Senate vote Wednesday night."
...
"House Republican Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri agreed that prospects for passage have improved, and he said he was particularly heartened by indications the legislation has become more appealing to constituents back home."(emphasis mine)
Has a bailout REALLY become "more appealing" to you now?
No, I didn't think so!
