Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with from people , stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river.

Seeds of Liberty Podcast Ep 12: The War on Drugs is a War on the Individual

Please enjoy our recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Cynthia Wells, an anarchist from Texas who, among other things, runs the Single Anarchists and Voluntaryists Facebook group. Herein we discuss how Cynthia became an anarchist, how most people live their day-to-day lives in anarchy, the destructive nature of collectivism, religion as a consequence of geographical location, statheists, the training law enforcement goes through, the benefits of private security, planting seeds during traffic stops, the Church of Beardism, how laws against actual aggressive acts are redundant, the origins of the War on Drugs, the potential number of deaths caused by the War on Drugs vs. the drugs themselves, messing up the kumbaya rainbow, the insanity of suicide being illegal, how the War on Drugs is a war on people, and more!

The War on Drugs employs millions – politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military – that probably couldn’t find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners.
