You can easily tell public property: the public is barred. It’s unowned, but the state is the squatter, and it makes the rules. The left doesn’t understand this, but libertarians ought to. Why meet on enemy territory, where you have to get a permit to assemble or even to speak? At last weekend’s antiwar rally in our nation’s capital, Looter City, peaceful, unarmed people were viciously harassed and violently arrested for dissing the little god in the white house. The demonstrators were surrounded at all times by heavily armed, paramilitary cops, who kept their weapons pointed in the direction of the crowd. How much better to meet, teach, learn, organize, and plan on private property? If you want a mass demo, rent a convention center or a farmer’s field or other private land. You say this won’t get you press coverage? The state media will always pretend you do not exist, unless they are demonizing you. We can and must ignore and circumvent them. A good first step: stay out of DC. With the exception of Ron Paul’s office, the place is a sinkhole for peace, freedom, private property, and everything worthwhile. |
