NO ID Episode 42 - The People's Tree
So you think you’re liberty-minded? But you haven’t followed the self-ownership argument all the way to its logical conclusion? Neither, apparently, has anybody else. This week we deconstruct the media's coverage of the Spokane wildfire responses, the River-Keeper's environmental activism, "Dr" Fauxchi's home state, the mythology of benevolent government, public education, taxation, bureaucracy, and the curious ways government institutions manage "protect" us from...problems they seem to create.
