The White PillBox
It’s easy to be Black Pilled…to believe evil will win. My goal is to show how liberty can win (indeed, is winning), in the real world. And not centuries from now, either. Because there are White Pills out there, and lots of them. Powerful, realistic reasons to have hope. The enemies of liberty want nothing more than for us to get discouraged. Sorry, not on my watch.

Click here for the video link on YouTube …and here is Part 2 on YouTube The libertarian movement has always been more or less dominated by pragmatism.
