Raghvendra, who was present at the Bangalore event (below) sent in this link. I actually agree with 95 per cent of what Bhushan is saying. His description of crony capitalism prevailing in India is spot on. So that's a good start: that both I and he AGREE that the loot of the country has increased […]

Who said this: “the vote of the majority always binds all the rest”?
Obviously, one of the greatest enemies of liberty: Rousseau (Plato and Hegel come close, and Marx is merely a lackey of Hegel). What this interpretation of democracy does is to ENTIRELY DESTROY LIBERTY. It upturns the very purpose of the state through sleight of hand: But it is asked how a man can be both free […]
Anna Hazare supporters or ENEMIES OF LIBERTY?
An Anna Hazare group on facebook. just booted me out for posting some key messages for Arvind Kejriwal's benefit. No discussion, nothing. I just find myself out of the group! No free speech for these people! Totally anti-liberty. […]
