L.A. Liberty

A Libertarian in Leftywood

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you in trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.

Mark Twain (via greenstate, via ageofreason)

Remember when greenstate (fka stfuteabaggers) was beside herself when I posted an Emma Goldman quote? And later, when she quoted Emma Goldman, I tried to explain how the risk that precedes progress is inexorably tied with the potential for gain/loss? And how her husband, joinakibbutz (who finds the non-aggression principle “quite aggressive”), objected to a libertarian’s quoting of Nietzche because - as he put it - “nietzsche is on our side”?

Well, I will take this quote she has posted of the great classical liberal (of which libertarianism is the modern form) Mark Twain, as tacit agreement with my previously-linked response that wisdom need not only be found in those with whom you always agree with. I suppose you could say that what they knew for sure just wasn’t so.

So I’m glad we can agree on that…
