Not responsible for damages...really?
I found myself closely behind a dump truck the other day when I changed lanes. The dump truck had a written warning, "Stay back 200 ft; not responsible for damages." Really? Is the dump truck company really not liable for the damages that their trucks cause to other people's property? There is no valid contract between me and the dump track company in which I've agreed not to hold them liabable for damages to my property. Here is an example to illustrate the absurdity of the dump truck warning. Let's replace the dump truck with a SUV with children inside. The warning on the back of the SUV is the same. The children throw rocks out of the rear windows. The rocks hit my car and shatter my windshield. Do I have a valid claim against the owners of the SUV, or does their warning eliminate their liability for the damages that their kids inflicted on my car? Of course the SUV owner's are liable for the damages; the dump truck company is liable for the damages they cause (regardless of what the warning says).

The Prisoner 2009
American movie classics (AMC) TV channel will reimagine the 1960's TV series "the Prisoner" on November 15th, 2009. See http://www.amctv.com/originals/the-prisoner/ for details. You can even view the original TV series at the link above. The Prisoner is easily one of the most libertarian shows I've ever seen. And you still have time to view all of the original episodes before the new miniseries debuts.

My favorite liberty oriented websites
www.lewrockwell.com - libertarian and voluntarist columns, blogs, and podcast
www.freetalklive.com - international radio show and podcast emminating from Keene, New Hampshire. The callers determine the topics. The hosts converse with liberty oriented viewpoints.
www.libertyconspiracy.com - Join the cabal plotting for freedom; 'cause its not envouge.
www.garynorth.com - I subscribe to the paid members section because Gary North is my favorite LewRockwell.com columnist.
www.mises.org - This site is for someone who wants to learn about the hardcore underpinnings of freedom. I love it. The quantity of outstanding liberty works available for free is amazing.
www.kitco.com - A portal into the world of sound money (i.e. gold and silver). Great columns and analysis of the precious metal markets.
That's all for now.
