"[...] the campground smells like freedom, which turns out to be a whole lot of bacon."

As pointed out in email:


Last weekend, a group of libertarians and anarchists gathered in the woods of northern New Hampshire for the annual Porcupine Freedom Festival, aka PorcFest.

I went up for breakfast.


The audio download.

Beer, bacon, and spent cordite.

Ah, freedom wafting on the breeze!

I listened to that.

They miss the important part.

Libertarians are against safety regulations. They claim that if a business isn't safe, then the Free Market will have people stop doing business there. And, apparently, that if you aren't satisfied, then you still have a gun [and ignore that Big Business can afford more guns, and shooters, than you can]. They are ignoring completely the lessons learned in the 18th & 19th centuries.

I know 29 guys who would offer a different opinion, if they were still alive today.
