QUOTE: I have an old issue of Raygun with an interview between Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine) and Billy Bragg (who talks a lot of sense about socialism), and everytime I'm at home, I read it. It contains the most pithy summary of libertarianism I've ever read, which I sometimes reference in conversations about politics. I thought I'd put it up here for everyone to enjoy:
"It's very strange that a country like this that was born in revolution, the only thing that seems to have survived from the revolution is this ass-about libertarian tradition which is kind of like, 'I don't care what you do, you can have sex with your children as long as I don't have to pay any tax!' "
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
