This lecture was given on September 25, 2008. It is a basic overview of my interpretation of anarcho-capitalism. The topics addressed range from gay marriage and gun control to safety standards and healthcare to police services and military action.

While sitting in my four hour speech communication class over the winter semester, the instructor stressed the significance and power of euphemisms and asked students to give some examples. Unsurprisingly, such examples like “passed away” and “overweight” were tossed out and greeted with an affirming nod. With the chuckle of my fellow students, I suggested [...]

I realize that we’re usually the grumpiest club on campus (haha). So, I think the new year warrants a happy post. Reason has a great article about why life in America isn’t so bad. UNR Students for Liberty – http://www.unrforliberty.com

UNR PD Never Fail to Amuse
By: John Russell
The UNR Police Department apparently thought it would be a great idea to tape big white scary warning letters to the handlebars of each bike that was not chained up to the bike rack. Initially it seems like a good idea, but did they stop to think that the unchained bikes are no longer hidden [...]

Money: The Root of All…Good?
By: Barry Belmont
Ayn Rand was definitely spot on when it came to capitalism. This lengthy quote/article comes from Atlas Shrugged and extols the virtue of money. It’s very powerfully said, very succinct, and very worth reading. Please do enjoy. “So you think that money is the root of all evil?” said Francisco d’Anconia. “Have you ever asked [...]
