Liberty Conspiracy 5-16-12 The Right to Self Defense and Arms, Philosophy and Practice

Summary: Welcome back! We're glad you're part of the conspiracy! In this program, we explore the right to self-ownership and its associated principle, the right to self-defense. We start with a contemporary story about a man who saved many lives by wielding a firearm against assailants, and then delve into the earliest philosophical acknowledgement of the right to self-ownership and self defense. From there, we look at the history of guns in the US, Australia and the UK, and then look at the practical outcomes of allowing more firearms in certain areas. We also look at the mythology that cops are your best protection, and debunk it with PLEASURE! Enjoy the chat, and pass the word! Also, enjoy the music, featuring a great many cuts by WIRE, including, "On Returning", "Reuters", "The Agfers of Kodak", "I Am the Fly", "Raft Ants", "Want to Ex You" (a new version of "1,2 XU"), "All Fours", "Drill" (live, with Einsturzende Neubaten doing "Vox Populi" - Live in Berlin, 2011), The Prodigy "Piranha", and Inland Sea "Words are Circles"! Look 'em up! Big thanks to Conspirator Tim Humphries for turning us on to Inland Sea. We hope you'll buy some of their music! Look for their music! -- Be Seeing You!
