Thinking about leaving Misplaced Pages due to lack of respect for rules of referencing information. When people can call up anything on a web page or blog as a reference and refuse to obey the referencing rules what is the point? This is why Misplaced Pages is such an unreliable source of information. I'm tempted to just let it rot. Operation Spooner 06:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

"This right of the people, therefore, to resist usurpation, on the part of the government, is a strictly constitutional right. And the exercise of the right is neither rebellion against the constitution, nor revolution – it is a maintenance of the constitution itself, by keeping the government within the constitution. It is also a defence of the natural rights of the people, against robbers and trespassers, who attempt to set up their own personal authority and power." - Lysander Spooner
"The purpose of the Constitution is to restrain government, not to restrain the people." - Ron Paul
"America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long." - Ron Paul
"Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference." - Ron Paul
I support Ron Paul and will vote for him in his bid to be the President of the United States and restrain government power to its constitutional limits.
"Ron Paul is the Thomas Jefferson of our time." - Judge Andrew Napolitano
"It is as if Thomas Jefferson had come back to lead us again. We must support this great man and his movement for freedom, peace and prosperity." - Burton Blumert
"As long as the president limits himself to tearing down illegitimate power, he can be acting in accord not only with minarchism, but also with free market anarchism. Yes, there are very few people I would trust with such awesome responsibilities. Ron Paul is one of them." - Walter Block
Paul a philosophical anarchist? See picture of free-market anarchist Murray Rothbard on his office wall:
An amazing FERVENT BOISTEROUS SPEECH in support of Ron Paul by the Reverend John Killian at the Alabama Straw Poll on August 18 (Which Paul won, btw. Looks like the Mises Institute found an appropriate home): http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZZTpYTQLz6c
MUST SEE FOX NEWS INTERVIEW: Ron Paul mentions Lysander Spooner twice, and endorses peaceful refusal to pay income tax (video): http://youtube.com/watch?v=1ZnzGredcIs
Larry Kudlow of CNBC supports Ron Paul: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qocjt-58o6I
A good Ron Paul video that sums up his traditional American anti-authoritarian perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X96l2o6GGYw
My Heroes: Lysander Spooner (hence my name), Ron Paul, Thomas Jefferson, and others
"Government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?" Ronald Reagan First Inaugural Address (which he wrote himself)
