Cussology 101 with Paul Terrell
Theocracy
PARENTS USE DISCRETION When my dad used to teach 6th grade, he decided to teach about the reasons for taboos and curse words from a Biblical view. Students and their parents continued to remember this lesson for years after, and it's not something I hear addressed by anyone else. We talk about which words aren't as taboo as they should be, vice versa, and why. voluntarytheocracy.org

Theocracy

Street Talk - Arguments Against Prison

I set up a table on the sidewalk to see who would be interested to discuss how the Bible forbids prison. I got two local university students to engage.
info_outlineOne update off the bat, the organization website is launched now voluntarytheocracy.org, so there is now an easier way to access show notes and helpful links. There is one for this show already which I hope you'll find handy with things we reference today.
There is a donation page also. I ask for $1/month. I have had several people ask to give one-time bitcoin donations before, but now there's a simple way to support. If you can't do a donation, please share an episode with someone who might find it helpful. I've gotten a couple reviews on iTunes so far. So thank you "slimzac" and "Joshua" for helping more people find the show.
Now, some of you know I have a background in media production. And I have gotten royalty checks and benefitted from a copyright "tradition" (I don't call it law) on multiple occasions, and I have family who have had their entire livelihoods supported by it. So how can I say in the title that "Copyrights Are Unlawful?"
Stephan Kinsella is my guest today. I found him through Tom Woods's podcast years back, and I've run in to his talks at Mises University online several times. He's a patent attorney who has helped me think through these issues practically relating to intellectual property and why it doesn't exist.
I believe there is a Bible verse I can point to as well in Exodus, but we'll get to that. We get in to some less-than-settled issues as well.
