From the Mises blog (archived comments below): Slate’s Metcalf on Libertarianism and Nozick JUNE 22, 2011 by STEPHAN KINSELLA Slate’s Culture Gabfest is one of my favorites, even though the main host, Stephen Metcalf, on occasion lets his noxious, smug statism leak out. Witness his recent essay about libertarians and Robert Nozick. It’s already been roundly thrashed–see Will Wilkinson, The […]

Two favorite (and oft used) quotes by Spooner, both from No Treason No. VI: The Constitution of No Authority, the first, regarding the Constitution and its supporters: there is not the slightest probability that the Constitution has a single bona fide supporter in the country.

I came across this quote in Leonard Nelson’s System of Ethics (so it’s probably translated from German, as Nelson’s book is): As though to test his youthful vigor, divinity thrust man into conflict with Nature, which contests him every step of the way and at the outset largely has the better of him.
