"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.
