"The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.” – Thomas Sowell

"The State is an institution run by gangs of murderers, plunderers and thieves, surrounded by willing executioners, propagandists, sycophants, crooks, liars, clowns, charlatans, dupes and useful idiots—an institution that dirties and taints everything it touches.” - Hans Hoppe

"Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience." - Adam Smith

Nothing that requires the labor of others is a basic human right.

I keep a stiff upper lip and shoot from the hip. - AC/DC

Love that book. It taught me a lot about writing. Definitely worth the price even when it isn't on sale.
Don't rush me.

I have the first edition in print. Found it in a college town at a thrift store. Back then, I think I paid something like 50 cents. :) It's a good, basic book. I might just get one of these used print ones.
I write various flavors of speculative fiction. This is my main pen name.

My edition is the first edition too. I used the sale to grab me an ebook version of the second edition. :D
Don't rush me.
