In a libertarian society who decides the validity of geographical property claims?

davknight comments on Feb 28, 2019:

Towards the end of the Revolutionary War, many people were staking out 'tomahawk claims' on wilderness land in southwest Pennsylvania.( A tomahawk claim was where you just cut notches in trees, to mark out your boundary lines). This was fairly common up and down the frontier line. But this particular land was "owned" by absentee landowners farther east. About five years after the war ended, the absentee landowners attempted to kick all the 'squatters' off the land. Many landowners' representatives ended up being tarred, feathered, and run out to the nearest county line on a rail Then President,George Washington had Alexander Hamilton raise a body of 5,000 Federal troops and State Militia to 'restore order'. This became known as the 'Whiskey Rebellion'. But what is generally not known is that it had nothing to do with taxes on Whiskey-making. Rather, it was a case of wealthy land speculators moving in, and evicting settlers from land they had already improved upon, by building cabins, and putting in crops. (Many of these settlers incidentally, were Continental Army veterans). Tomahawk claimants in Kentucky and Tennessee were luckier. They were much farther removed from the reaches of the Federal government. So, if you're gonna mark out a tomahawk claim of your own, you might consider some uninhabited island somewhere, and go completely off the grid!

How many of you have had Shingles?

davknight comments on Feb 26, 2019:

'Shingles' refers to 'fugitive' chicken pox virus, that hides out in your spinal column, not to re-emerge until you are middle-aged. This is why it tends to radiate outwards from the spinal column. Scratch it, and the pus beneath the scabs spreads further on your body, like the arms, the hands, the head and face. Anybody who had chicken pox as a kid is a prime candidate for shingles when they get older.

davknight comments on Feb 26, 2019:

Girls learn how to walk before boys, talk before boys, and mature before boys. So they tend to be attracted to 'older men', rather than boys the same age or younger. Boys discover that girls younger than they are , are attracted to them. So, their first sexual experiences tend to be with younger girls. It all has to do with the female maturing faster than the male. It's all biology! Nothing new here. But I wonder how much money they wasted on this study?

Or a Neanderthal male doing that to a Homo Sapiens Sapiens female.

At one point, when observing pedestrians on the street, I could "see" through their flesh, and body fat, and "see" their skeletons walking down the street!

davknight comments on Feb 20, 2019:

I think what you mean is, religion can play a 'functionalist' role in society, by erecting moral boundaries, e.g., "Thou shalt not do mean stuff". Sociologists refer to that as 'functionalism', which is where a feature of a given culture provides a useful role. But many things, other than religion, can perform a useful purpose. For example, once upon a time in America, every small town had a brothel, or two. And when a farm boy turned 13, his pappy took him to a 'sportin parlor', to learn about the birds n bees. This prepared him for his wedding night, years later. Unfortunately, a town cannot remain half-Methodist, and half-sinfulness n damnation. And as the towns grew, the brothels got closed down.

And people in all countries are conditioned from childhood to view the State as a parental figure, e.g. the 'Fatherland', the 'Mother Land',etc. And any external criticism of 'Mommy' tends to bring out a hostile reaction.

Keep in mind everything in orbit travels at 18,000 miles per hour. The bigger problem is how to get rid of it. One design, still on the drawing board, is for an orbiting 'vacuum cleaner', that will 'collect' it. But that's still tears away from being tested.

All I remember is saying "I'm hungry!", and after the doctors got done marveling over my 're-awakening', the nurse brought me a bowl of tomato soup, a tuna sandwich, and a carton of milk. I haven't been out on the ice since. And when I still lived in Michigan, on very cold winter days, I'd get this craving for tomato soup, and a tuna sandwich!
