177. Book Review | Plato’s Republic
Plato, one of the best known Greek philosophers, was a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle. He's notable not only for his tremendous insight into philosophy, but his style as well.

QUOTE: George Carlin
This is a warning to everyone in the liberty movement. People who are conservative and don't want to see the system thrown away and replaced with a libertarian utopia are said to be driving too slow, while Anarchists and Volentaryists seem to be driving too fast. The thing is, both groups have the same goals for the most part and are headed the same direction.
