” I’ve gone 2 years without advocating a single drop of state intervention. ”
…so you’ve not voted in any government election during the last 2 years ?
I’m not sure voting is advocating for state intervention anymore than driving on public roads, paying taxes, working a government job or a private job that benefits from government policies (which is most jobs).
You could make the case that many vote with the hope of reducing or eliminating intervention.
Just to be safe, I haven’t even voted in American Idol!
I most certainly will not advocate state intervention as long as my pension more than covers the bills.

Keep coming back. It (freedom) gets better and better without the the intoxicating State. I have long argued that statism is a sickness, a type of addiction similar to alcoholism, drug addiction and compulsive gambling. I refer to the dope or substance to which the user becomes addicted as OPM, which sounds like opium, is equally addicting, stands for “other people’s money–forcibly plundered.”
I need to buy the free-market anarchist flag they sell. So, so beautiful!
