July 5 was just so fit a date, wot?: INDEPENDENCE DAY II - THE DO-OVER: AND LET'S *KEEP* OUR REPUBLIC THIS TIME, 'KAY?
'Pun this happiest of re-births of liberty, I can't resist a typecast query in my usual vein: was Ben there (done that), given his dad's go-your-own-way we're-outta-here decentralist sensibility, delivered by any chance by SE-cession? And if Ben is one day blessed seriatim with fraternal solidarity in the family highchairs, will little Lysander Spooner Marcus and Max Stirner Marcus subordinate themselves unto Three Musketeers all-for-one solidarity, rendering the family hearth a No-Treason Zone, keeping the perfidious Ego in His Zone?
Speaking of perfidious - if anyone needs me, Albion stage all week - try the canned ham...
CONGRATULATIONS TO BRIAN AND NATALIE AND TO BENJAMIN. WE ARE ALL SO EXCITED TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE ALL NOW TOGETHER IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOMETIME VERY VERY SOON AND WE LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY, ALBEIT FROM THIS OTHER COUNTRY. WE HOPE THE CHANGING TABLE AND ACOUTREMENTS WORK AND IF YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE PRAY, DO TELL ME, I TRIED TO CALL BUT COULD NOT GET THROUGH. GIVE A NEW PHONE NUMBER, OK? LOVE AND KISSES AUNTIE ALISON, UNCLE GARY, AND COUSINS EMMA, JESSIE, AND SARI. HIGS AND KISSES.
B.K. Marcus is an amateur political economist with no formal education in the subject. He works from Charlottesville, Virginia, as an editorial consultant for the Ludwig von Mises Institute. He is no longer a house husband, nor a faculty spouse, but he is still a dilettante, and a layabout, at least in spirit.
"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."
Ludwig von Mises: "Plato was anxious to find a tyrant who would use his power for the realization of the Platonic ideal state. The question whether other people would like or dislike what he himself had in store for them never occurred to Plato." - The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science
In a just society, then, only voluntary forgiveness by creditors would let debtors off the hook; otherwise, bankruptcy laws are an unjust invasion of the property rights of creditors.

Congrats! And coincidentally, my birthday was yesterday, July 5. Although I am significantly older than Benjamin.
Congratulations!

Congratulations! This is so awesome. The culture just became a little less statist.
Congratulations!
I love the name, btw. Benjamin is a lot cooler than names like Karl (Hess), Murray, and Ludwig.
