Anarchist Audit:

Here's a little lesson in economics and Intellectual Property as Customs seizes 3,000 fake Gibson guitars at Florida and California Ports.

Trump faces intellectual property rights claim by Gibson Guitars against his 45 Guitar. I can't support them in the idea that they can claim a shape. As long as the people making the guitars don't claim that they are Gibson guitars there isn't a real problem. This is a problem directly related to economic protectionism, using the state to stifle competition as well as a direct result of state interventions into the market with tariffs and product and resource controls.

Irresponsible hypocrite Hollywood twat gets one right, but he and his Hollywood friends are at least partially to blame, and the headline could just as easily read: Alec Baldwin to Blame for Americans who "Know little or nothing about the world".

The State, no I don't care what 'color' it is, keeps coming for the guns. Blue And Red States Alike Are Looking For Any And Every Excuse as an End-A-Round to disarm the population in order to keep robbing it.

If we get to it, I thought it may be a bit of fun to see what the 16 Signs That Indicate Someone Has Lived A Hard Life are.

Anarchy in Quotations

"Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing things historians usually record; while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks of the river." - Will and Ariel Durant
