Did anyone ever notice this?

Dr. Enemy of the State & Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State

Was Rothbard secretly an NSA agent who helped Will Smith escape a corrupt government cover up?

Haha.. Big Smile

Ron Paul is for self-government when compared to the Constitution. He's an anarcho-capitalist. Proof.

I think most people who see my black Enemy of the State T-shirt are, if they think about it, asking who that character was in that Will Smith film.

I've been asked all kinds of bizarre questions about my Rothbard t-shirt such as, "wtf are you doing wearing a Henry Kissinger silhouette" and “Are you a Marxist.” Goes without saying it's my favorite shirt.

LOL! Please, tell more. Any interesting arguments you have gotten in to?

Fascinating. It's also one of the few movies I can tolerate w/ Will Smith in it, as well.

I've wondered for quite some time if there was some sort of a correlation between the two or if it was simply just an odd coincidence. I felt like asking this question on the forums here, but I felt like it would damage my credibility and draw plenty of Hmm from the community here. But, someone asked it and got a positive reception!

 

You have some cajones for wearing that shirt in public, I have one myself, but I'm a bit scared to bring it on to campus. May get reported by some left-wing liberal zealot. I'm just known as the rabid, frothing at the mouth Ron Paul supporter on campus. I'm not even sure if there's anyone else on campus that's even remotely familiar with RP's positions(I haven't seen much if any backing for Ron Paul here.The youth like him over here, but no one discusses anything remotely libertarian).

 

It's all "Hope, Change, Obama" or "Hey, Let's Support Romney the Fascist!"

Most of the responses I get regarding the shirt come from a false understanding of what anarchy means.  For example a girl in my political science class asked me if I had ever been shot, stabbed, raped, murdered, beaten up, or physically violated in anyway.  I responded by saying , "No" and she said, "well the government must not be doing a bad job after all."

One of my favorite responses was from a girl in my Introduction to College class.  She looked down at my shirt for a few seconds in bewilderment and then looked back up at me with a confused look on her face and said, "What exactly do you have against North Carolina."

I've never gotten into any agruments because of the shirt but many people do seem to be geniunly interested in it and what it stands for.  It has been an excellent tool for getting the world out about anarcho-capitalism.  I can't wait to pick up the Albert Jay Nock tee next tackle another whole set of issues.
