At this year's FreedomFest -- which for the first time is being held in South Dakota -- I'll be the judge in a
mock trial on the lockdowns.
(In case you're thinking it's impossible for me to be an impartial judge when I've defended the anti-lockdown position for a solid year, I'll note that the position of judge is purely honorary and for fun. It's the audience who decides the winner of the mock trial.)
Here's a detail from last week that put a smile on my face.
My good friend Mark Skousen, who organizes FreedomFest and whom I am in no way making fun of here, wrote to ask if I could pose in an old graduation gown and with a gavel for a promotional photo and send it to him.
I realized: he either thinks I just happen to have a gavel lying around, or I'm expected to buy my own gavel.
Well, sure enough, you can buy a gavel on Amazon.
After the gavel arrived and I sent Mark the picture, he wrote to remind me: please bring the gavel to FreedomFest.
So for all you future potential judges of FreedomFest mock trials, be it known that it's BYOG.
Let this serve as a reminder to you: don't expect anyone to hand you anything. Not even a gavel when you're a mock judge.
You are going to have to do this yourself.
We find ourselves facing more ethical dilemmas each day when it comes to our workplaces, and of course we now know that no matter how much we plan, those plans can be thrown into disarray at the hands of an out-of-control state and an ignorant, fearful mob.
We have to make up our minds once and for all: are we going to be blown to and fro by winds we cannot control, or are we going to be the captain of this ship?
The guy at the link below has the Tom Woods Seal of Approval, and is one of a handful of people I myself learned (and still learn) from.
He isn't a millionaire, but he's an ethical businessman who pulled in 500K from his computer last year.
He'll take you under the hood and show you how it's done.
