For my friends and readers in Texas- November 3 is election day.  Before you head out to the polls I ask you to remember this: Voting is just another manifestation of "might makes right". 

Instead of directly having a warlord killing off his rivals (the standard excuse against self-responsible, non-coercive living- "anarchy"), with voting there is another layer of camouflage to hide the reality.  You have a mob voting on who the warlords, collectively referred to as "government", will kill next; whose rights will be violated, whose choices will be criminalized, whose value as a human will be marginalized simply because they are in the minority. 

If you think you really can defend your freedom by voting I will not try to dissuade you.  Just don't be too disappointed when it doesn't happen the way you want.

If you do choose to vote, please use the rest of the day actually increasing your own freedom by doing things that matter to you.  Don't hurt any innocent people, but other than that, the sky is the limit.  Ignore those "authorities" who would try to order you around for their own benefit.  Have fun.
