teaches history and government at a college in Houston. He is passionate about life, liberty, and property and wants to help people learn about the ever-increasing growth and power of the coercive state.
In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Is it 2025 already?
Interesting article posted by antiwar.com. Read it and decide for yourself: is the American "empire" done? Who will own this century - China? Many interesting questions raised in this fascinating article you can read here.
It's unfortunate that the "death of the empire" will be mourned by the American people. We, the common citizenry, have been duped and sold out by a 186-year-old foreign policy that serves only to protect the interests of the most elite while shifting the burden of it on the rest of us. I celebrate the decrease of our global power, as it brings with it a necessary increase in diplomacy, more distributed global wealth and prosperity, the decrease of our military, and consequently more efficacy for the common person in our taxes.
