Tuesday night I excited to get out of work and start my weekend. It was a long weekend with thanksgiving coming up. I took the Wednesday before thanksgiving off to clean house in preporation for Thursday, be with family visiting from out of town and to go to the protests at airports on the 24th. I was really excited about the protests on the 24th. To be honest, I was also a bit nervous. I was going to be walking into an area covered with government agents and employees. Tons of authoritarians and little policemen strutting around wielding their ‘authority’. This kind of thing always makes me uncomfortable. I contacted Cisse Spragins to see if I could catch a ride to the protest with her. She and her husband live right up the street and they are friends of ours. Cisse is the founder and president of Rockwell Labs and the chair of the Missouri Libertarian Party. Oddly enough Rockwell Labs is not named after Lew Rockwell who I know they are big fans of, the company was named before she was introduced to Lew Rockwell. I asked her a few weeks ago when my wife and I visited them a few weeks ago.

I got there around 9:30 and talked to Sean for a while. Sean O’Toole, (her husband) is always a great guy to talk to because like me he tends to dislike the state and whenever he is around he will be talking some kind of shit about the government. Myself, I often just keep quite about my anti-state rhetoric around others. Not Sean. Just about every time I see the guy he has something to say that often highlights the failure of the state. I know it has to irritate some statists, but to me it’s wonderful to hear someone just ranting against the state so much. I can listen to anti-government rhetoric all day. Sean is the Libertarian Executive committee delegate for the fifth district here in Kansas City.
