"The law perverted! The law—and, in its wake, all the collective forces of the nation. The law, I say, not only diverted from its proper direction, but made to pursue one entirely contrary! The law becomes the tool of every kind of avarice, instead of being its check! The law guilty of that very inequity which it was its mission to punish! Truly, this is a serious fact, if it exists, and one to which I feel bound to call the attention of my fellow-citizens." —Frédéric Bastiat

A few of you may be interested in this. I’m currently listening to it right now and its pretty good quality.

So they’re like a Project Gutenberg for audio books? Cool, didn’t realize that was out there.

Yes, and there are a lot of really great works there now (such as this one) that promote conservatism.

Back in the day, 1998-2000, randomly selecting a paragraph or two from The Law would engender excellent & lengthy discussion threads...
IMHO, an audio version of The Law could not capture its impact...
Sort of like the difference between actual sex and masturbation...

To each his own.
I just recently finished listening to it and I thought it was pretty good. I think the new availability of an additional option is a benefit and not a curse to us. It can also open up new avenues for educating, in reversal to what the statists would prefer.
