The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. - H. L. Mencken
The purpose of this blog is threefold: First, I seek to clarify the obscure and misunderstood ideas about liberty and libertarianism. Secondly, I want to encourage people to educate themselves, and thus be confident in questioning the mainstream academic and political opinions that run deep in our culture. Thirdly, I want to use the blog as a means of addressing historical and current events. I believe that the only way to effectively challenge the status quo in academia and politics is through understanding, and understanding can only come from education.
