L.A. Liberty

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…
