Voice from the Commonwealth Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

"Your blog is bullshit"- anonymous angry French reader.
The North Korean woman whose two year old daughter stood watching as Chinese soldiers arrested her and her mother wrote of her escape.
"Rumor was that there was plenty to eat in China, but we could not stay in one place more than an hour because the Chinese authorities were chasing us," Lee wrote. After her husband fell seriously ill from a rat bite, Lee was faced a desperate decision: In order to raise money she had to agree to sell the baby to a Chinese peasant family for $200 or go to work in a tea house that was a front for a brothel. Although she had just given birth, she chose the latter. "If the North Korean people could eat, dress, live like people in other countries, we would not have to sell our baby or our body,"
Maybe Jimmy Carter and the others who like to tell us that totalitarian dictators like Castro, Saddam, Mugabe, Kim, Khameini and murderers like them are benevolent leaders who are dedicated to bringing top quality education and health care to their people, should explain how they can say that these things when the people living in these places tell us the exact opposite. Do they knowingly front for these killers or are they so ignorant that they honestly believe the propoganda and paid shills who give them the happy faces of these hateful dictators?
