A libertarian perspective by NeoWayland

NeoWayland is a pagan philosopher, libertarian, & part-time trouble maker. Keeping vigil, he shares beacons of individual freedom & responsibility while watching for threats to LIBERTY. There's more to life than just black & white.

Government is not your friend

Invoking extremes just makes things worse. Government usually creates more problems to solve the problems it already created.
