Let the crazy man rant and slowly, carefully make your way out of the room. Don't make any sudden motions and be ready to fend off an attack. When you have cleared the room, close the door, turn the key and push the bolt shut. Then notify the someone on the staff.

It's not that Pierce is wrong about everything. It's that his rant throws together so many different things in such a cockamamie mess, that it's hard to know where to begin, or how to respond.

The Rockwellite is defined by being against a lot of things. Maybe he's right in being against some of them, most of them, or all of them. It's not clear that it adds up to a coherent philosophy, policy or approach. And throwing everything that one's against up on the page isn't any recipe for a coherent article, either. A crazy man can do some harm to good causes. As with so many Rockwell articles, this one has exactly the opposite effect to what the author probably intended.

Don't bother. It's an inchoate mess of unrelated screeds put together by someone who obviously thinks we give a damn.

Lew Rockwell-type motto:

"I doubt...therefore I might be."

Why don't they save all that stuff for their own site and stop wasting bandwidth here. I've read better commentary from the cartoon inserts that used to come with "Fleer's Double-Bubble Gum".
