Knapp http://c4ss.org/content/905 Humans are volitional creatures that choose to do good or bad things, based on their values Are free staters angels of liberty? Cutting the parasite of government down to a minimal size doesn't extinguish its tyranny The unjust power to tax inherently creates unaccountability and irresponsibility The ability to participate in government doesn't lesson the inherent tyranny of government People use a selective filter when viewing the nature of the American government, due mainly to "public schools" Democracies sacrifice the smallest minority, the individual, to the "agendas" of the collective American "law enforcers" are no different than Hitler's SS if individuals accosted by them resist their aggression The Ominous Parallels: A Brilliant Study of America Today - and the 'ominous parallels' with the chaos of pre-Hitler Germany by Leonard Peikoff http://www.peikoff.com/lr/home.htm Dealing With Friends and Family Who Don’t Get It by Paul Rosenberg http://www.fr33agents.com/573/dealing-with-friends-and-family-who-dont-get-it/ Stefan Molyneux and Larken Rose on The Peter Mac Show http://www.petermacshow.com/show-archive.html?start=24 The two potent defense mechanisms of denial and rationalization prevent people from realizing political truths Kids are expected to sacrifice their rational faculty to various mythologies Extremely disrespectful parental behavior such as spanking or other types of punishment also reflects low self-esteem Fear of disobeying perceived legitimate "authority" leads to mass political compliance Parents can empathize with children's needs via self-esteem-building exercises The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden http://www.nathanielbranden.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_23&products_id=35 The Secret of Childhood by Maria Montessori http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=8977399 Between Parent and Child - The Bestselling Classic That Revolutionized Parent-Child Communication by Haim Ginott http://tinyurl.com/598j76 Pseudo self-esteem tied to politics and political "leaders" fosters denial of self-responsibility and perpetuation of the statist status quo Being ruled and being "part of the system" is a precarious mental house of cards Having an opinion that contradicts rationality and individual rights, i.e., statism, isn't morally acceptable Threats of initiatory force (clear and present dangers) warrant self-defensive measures Militarism avoids widespread domestic governmental tyranny; it distracts people from the real enemy of their freedoms It your relationship isn't based on respect, it's merely a pretense at a relationship, and harmful to your life and well-being Try to find the rationality in people who are resistant to freedom, but don't tolerate being verbally attacked for advocating freedom See the promotion of statism as a self-esteem issue Unconditional love denies responsibility, accountability, and rational judgment BRETT'S PODCAST AND NEW WEBSITE: http://schoolsucks.podomatic.com and http://edu-lu-tion.com DANIEL'S SITE (with the latest updates): http://warisimmoral.com MHD interview with Daniel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfdPsAaWrjI http://motorhomediaries.com/war-is-immoral/ bumper music "Help Save the Youth of America" by Billy Bragg http://www.billybragg.co.uk/releases/albums/talking_taxman/talking8.html
