In memory of Richard Rieben

The quest for liberty, for individual
sovereignty, and for human dignity has
degenerated into a hopeless, lost, idealistic,
foggy 'cause' in this philosophically compromised
culture. Authoritarianism is so intrinsic to this
context, that people have come to think that
liberty is compatible with authoritarianism,
corporation, hierarchy, and patriarchy - because
that is their visible, tangible reality. The U.S.
Constitution is in force today; it never was a
solution - not for individual liberty. In this
framework, any effort to liberate the individual
will be co-opted by the framework -politically,
socially, culturally, and morally.

If you want liberty, the only alternative is to
opt-out of the framework.

Done.

Let The Collective destroy itself in the New
World Disorder.

Fuck 'em.
