Thank you so much to those of you who reached out to me about it. It means a lot to me when I hear from people who take what I say to heart and implement those things in their own lives. That is one of the main reasons I do this show. I mentioned last week a quote from Gandhi, who said, "If one takes care of the means, the end will take care of itself." This is a very important aspect of voluntaryism, in my opinion, and this quote really helped me to understand that the way I work towards freedom is just as important, if not more important, than the ends that I seek. This is, of course, one reason I consider myself a post-political libertarian. I said I would dive into this quote in a few weeks on this show, but the more I thought about that quote last week, the more I realized it was important enough that I go ahead and start that conversation as soon as possible, especially after all the feedback I received from last week's show.     WHAT'S IN THE NEWS  In crooked cops news, former Biscayne Park Police Chief Raimundo Atesiano is accused of arresting black men for burglaries to boost the department's image. In secession news, the California Supreme Court blocked a measure that would divide the state in three from appearing on the November ballot.  In some good news for news, it is being reported that Judge Andrew Napolitano's Freedom Watch show will return to Fox News!  In some quick twitter news, Ross Ulbricht, the alleged Dread Pirate Roberts from the Silk Road, is now on Twitter! Apparently, someone is transcribing messages from him directly to Twitter, and his mother, Lyn, has confirmed to me that these are indeed real tweet direct from the real Ross Ulbricht.  And, speaking of Ross, there is a Change.org petition for clemency for him that is up right now. There are over 30,000 signers as of this writing, and it is continuing to rapidly increase. if you have a spare couple of minutes, I highly encourage you to go and sign this petition. In more crooked cop news, two police officers in an Atlanta suburb are on administrative leave after their chief watched body camera video that appears to show them joking about using a coin flip app to determine whether a driver would be arrested for reckless driving.  In Wikileaks news, Ecuador will imminently withdraw asylum for Julian Assange and hand him over to the U.K.    ANCAP APPS  This Ancap App product is a really cool one that helps you to spread the gospel of cryptocurrency to the muggles.  This new product is called CryptoTip, and it is a printable cryptocurrency tip that you can give to anyone you want, whether your server at a restaurant, taxi driver, hair stylist, cashier, family, friends, or co-workers.
