New Year's Revolutions

“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
—Barry Goldwater's speechwriter, Karl Hess

Happy New Year, everyone! What will you do this year to be more free? How will you undermine the public perception of political legitimacy? No need to answer if it would count as "self-incrimination" under government's illegitimate laws, of course.

Remember, the real revolution starts between your ears. That must be won before the revolution in the streets can succeed. If you still believe we can use the political means, you still have a war to win in your head. Trying to dictate how peaceful people may interact will always make you the bad guy.

Don't become that which you rightfully hate in your blind zeal to reform. Just resolve to not be an authoritarian busybody control freak, and you have taken a step in the right direction.
