Vidcast: Presumptive guilt
This Vidcast was inspired by my muse, Clover, whose every view seems to be based on the idea of presumptive guilt. This is an idea similar to "pre-crime" - if you...
Inspections
Government is nonsense and force - assembled in either order.
Those mandatory "safety" inspections most of us are forced to deal with every year, for instance.

Vidcast: Uncle Under The Hood
I wrote the other day about the disappearing V-8 (and also the disappearing six). This Vidcast gets into all of that:

Why should anyone be...
Rebalancing the Scales
We are peculiarly at the mercy of police. Which goes a long way toward explaining why police are increasingly merciless. After all, they can get away with it. Physically. Financially. Legally.

Scooter Clover
Actually, it's the Clover behind the scooter. The scooter can't help that it's slow. Its rider is given' 'er all she's got, cap'n!
