MY 200 FAVORITE ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME

(Revised 2024 Edition)

To my way of thinking, a list of favorite albums changes over time. At any moment, there might be as many as 300 or 400 albums that are good enough to make a favorites list of 200. Where and how to cut is the question. I do a new list whenever the old one feels outdated to me. The criteria I use is pretty basic. I choose my favorite records to listen to, and those that get played more often are ranked higher. But my listening habits change from time to time, so when an album I love doesn't get played as often because I'm getting tired of it, it falls to a lower spot on the list, or disappears altogether. If I haven't played it in awhile, and it sound fresh to me, it goes back into regular rotation, and subsequently climbs higher on the list. I go through periods when I listen to one genre more than another, and that can also affect where the album lands on the list. Playability is the most important factor. That's why an album that has one great side that gets played all the time while the other side is ignored, won't rank as high as one that I enjoy playing from start to finish. And critics lists are things I often read, but completely ignore when it comes to doing my own. My list reflects my tastes, and my biases only.

This is my first revision since March of 2023. There are 28 new additions to the list this time marked with an asterisk. And, in case you're wondering, there were five artists that placed at least five albums on the list. They were The Rolling Stones (13), The Beatles (8), and The Beach Boys, Steely Dan, and Tom Petty each had five (though four of Petty's were with The Heartbreakers, and the fifth was a solo album). Here's my list, and I hope it encourages you to explore something you might not have heard, or to pull something out you may not have played in awhile.

    1. All Things Must Pass – George Harrison (1970)

    2. Revolver (UK) – The Beatles (1966)

Mere Appendix

TALES OF THE TMNT #54 JANUARY 2009 BY ANDREW BONIA, BOB LEFEVRE, MOSTAFA MOUSSA, L. JAMAL WALTON, STEVE LAVIGNE AND MICHAEL DOONEY

After an accident in the middle of a fight, Professor Honeycutt is injured and he quickly discovers he may not be Professor Honeycutt after all.

SCORE: 9

I am under the impression that this story shouldn’t have been paired with these artists. On one side, we have a very philosophical story about what makes us our own entities, and on the other side we have a more chaotic version of Dan Berger’s style.

At times, it was hard to figure out what I was looking at. And I feel that takes away from the issue.

Apart from that, it is always nice to have a Profesor Honeycutt story where he is clearly defined, sometimes I feel like he knows stuff he is not telling and we should know, but not in this issue.

Spoilers after the break...

The big dilemma here is pretty much what you defined as a mind-transfer. IN other words, Prof. Honeycutt thought he had a cut/paste when he may have just had a copy/paste, which would mean that Prof. Honeycutt is dead and he is just an android with all the memories of his master. Now, wouldn’t that make you the same person? if you have all the experiences and memories? It’s up to your interpretation. Technically, you are the same person... but not the same entity. That person died. This is a conversation humanity will need to have at some point if we are really planning on transferring all our knowledge into backups. Well, Hickman kind of already touched in this subject on his new X-Men books.

[mitjalovse]

Phil Collins had a solo career and a band to lead, though he didn't stop with his session work during the height of his fame, which is why we shouldn't be surprised to find him on Robert Plant's The Principle of Moments, another record where he tried to escape the shadow of his group. While he wasn't as successful with that as Collins, one has to admit he moved away from the sounds of the collective that made him. Sure, you can claim Led Zeppelin might have been like that, had they carried on during the 80's, but I would claim Mr. Plant's interests wouldn't be the same as those of his co-workers in the gathering. We already noticed he likes to go beyond the notion of what he should have done, so his 80's LPs shouldn't shock us.

Meanwhile, over the pop-up shortwave worldcaster of Honey and Sis recently:

[Essentially as another worldcasting marathon was winding down]

SIS, tired and showing it: Sheesh ... who couldn't use some coffee and, for that matter, breakfast?!

HONEY: And what a listener count we had, judging by all the e-mails we received with QSL's and all that schtick ...

[Meanwhile, the station's closedown music, Raymond Lefevre's treatment of "Soul Coaxing," starts playing]

SIS: And as you can tell by the music in the background, we're just about ready to call it another worldcast, so keep those contacts coming, especially as there might be some worthwhile worldcasting material in same!

HONEY: Admittedly, the only compensation likely ensuing for now will be some on-air acknowledgement and not much else; such is the way things are to the moment.

SIS: So, in the immortal signoff of Bob and Ray, "write if you get work--"

BOTH: "--and hang by your thumbs!"

After more than a year of large-scale fairs, festivals and events being a no-go because of the coronavirus pandemic, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s actually the sun, in case you’ve forgotten what it looks like.

There are things to go and do this summer all over Southern California, from family favorites like the OC Fair and Pageant of the Masters to music festivals such as Hard Summer and BeachLife. While many of the events happening will be modified, and in many cases with smaller audiences than before the pandemic, there are still ways to get out and celebrate.

There’s one big caveat here: If we learned anything in the last year, it’s that plans can change fast. Be sure to check refund and cancellation policies before plunking down your cryptocurrency. And you will need to stay on top of COVID-19 precautions, which are also a moving target. Your best bet? Checking with the events’ websites and social media pages for the latest updates and pricing. Be advised that tickets for many events are required to be purchased in advance.

And even though events are being scheduled well into the fall, we’re capping our list as events through the end of September for now.

La historia del Instituto Mises, por Mises Hispano.

[Preparado para la entrega en Hamburgo, Alemania, al recibir el Premio Roland Baader.]

Muchas gracias por el gran honor que me ha otorgado. El Premio Roland Baader lleva el nombre de un destacado campeón del libre mercado y discípulo de Ludwig von Mises. Como soy el fundador del Instituto Ludwig von Mises, no se sorprenderá al saber que yo también soy un discípulo de Mises. Estoy seguro de que los miembros de esta audiencia reverencian a Mises también y me gustaría señalar otra cosa que tenemos en común. El Instituto Mises tiene su sede en Alabama, un estado en el sur de Estados Unidos y estoy hablando con un público en Alemania. Mi amigo, el juez John Denson, a quien muchos de ustedes sabrá de sus libros sobre historia revisionista, ha dicho que tanto Alemania como el Sur fueron conquistados y luego ocupados por el ejército estadounidense.

Me gustaría comenzar diciéndole algo sobre cómo fundé el Instituto Mises en 1982 y lo que estamos tratando de lograr. Hace treinta y cinco años, cuando contemplaba la creación de un Instituto Ludwig von Mises, la Escuela Austriaca de Economía y su rama misesiana en particular, estaban en declive. La cantidad de economistas misesianos era tan pequeña que todos se conocían personalmente, y probablemente podrían haber encajado en la pequeña sala de estar de Mises. Este es un mundo que los jóvenes de hoy, que encuentran la economía austríaca en todo lugar, difícilmente pueden imaginar.

Quería hacer lo que pudiera para promover la Escuela Austriaca en general y la vida y obra de Mises en particular. Mises era un héroe tanto como erudito como hombre y era una lástima que ninguno de los dos aspectos de su vida estuviera siendo debidamente reconocido.

Primero me acerqué a la viuda de Mises, Margit, que era lo que Murray Rothbard llamaba “la industria de una sola mujer de Mises”. Después de la muerte de su marido, se aseguró de que sus trabajos se mantuvieran impresos y siguieran traduciéndose a otros idiomas. Ella aceptó participar y compartir su consejo, siempre y cuando me comprometiera a dedicar el resto de mi vida al Instituto. He mantenido esa promesa. Margit von Mises se convirtió en nuestra primera presidenta. Qué suerte tuvimos como su sucesor, el gran empresario libertario Burt Blumert, quien también fue un sabio consejero desde el principio.

Cuando le conté a Murray Rothbard sobre el instituto propuesto, él aplaudió con alegría. Dijo que haría lo que fuera necesario para apoyarlo. Se convirtió en nuestro vicepresidente académico e inspiración.

Ron Paul aceptó convertirse en nuestro distinguido consejero y también fue de gran ayuda para reunir nuestros fondos iniciales, así como también una inspiración.

Murray diría más tarde: “Sin la fundación del Instituto Mises, estoy convencido de que todo el programa misesiano se habría derrumbado”. Por supuesto, no podemos saber cómo hubieran resultado las cosas si hubiéramos tomado decisiones diferentes. Simplemente quería hacer lo que pudiera, con la ayuda de mis queridos amigos como Murray y Burt, para apoyar a la Escuela Austriaca durante tiempos muy oscuros y estaba dispuesto a dejar que las fichas cayeran donde pudieran.

Cuando recuerdo todo lo que hemos logrado en los últimos 35 años, apenas puedo creerlo. Naturalmente, promovimos y mantuvimos trabajos impresos de Mises, las obras ganadoras del Premio Nobel de F. A. Hayek y el catálogo indispensable de Murray Rothbard. Más allá de eso, hemos puesto a disposición del mundo, de forma gratuita, una enorme biblioteca de las obras más brillantes e importantes jamás escritas sobre economía austríaca y teoría libertaria.

En nuestro campus, la biblioteca y los archivos, basados ​​en las enormes colecciones de Freedom School de Bob LeFevre, son incomparables. Contamos con salas de conferencias, aulas, oficinas para estudiantes y profesores, alojamiento para estudiantes, una librería y mucho más, todo gracias a nuestros magníficos donantes.

Luego está la publicación completa del Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics (que publica el Instituto), su predecesora, la Review of Austrian Economics, el Murray Rothbard’s Journal of Libertarian Studies y las publicaciones que editó durante los días especialmente oscuros de la década de 1960 y 1970s. Agregue a eso muchos miles de artículos sobre cada tema bajo el sol y miles de horas de audio y video gratis de nuestros seminarios y otros eventos y tiene un programa de autoeducación que en un momento habría requerido el acceso a bibliotecas universitarias y una gran inversión de tiempo y dinero.

En el Instituto Mises, nuestro objetivo es presentar a los estudiantes el pensamiento de Mises y su gran alumno Murray Rothbard y me gustaría decir algo sobre cada uno de estos grandes héroes de la libertad.

Cuán afortunados somos de que no tenemos un criminal como Marx ni un monstruo, como Keynes a seguir, sino Ludwig von Mises, un héroe y también un genio.

Mises no solo era un deslumbrante economista y campeón de la libertad, sino que ningún comunista, nazi ni banquero central podía presionarlo para que hiciera algo incorrecto.

Nacido en 1871 en la ciudad de Lemberg, entonces parte del imperio austro-húngaro, se mudó con su familia a Viena cuando era joven. El padre de Mises era un alto ejecutivo en los ferrocarriles austrohúngaros.

Las escuelas de gramática y los gimnasios a los que asistió — las escuelas secundarias en nuestros términos — todavía tienen sus registros. Fue reconocido como extraordinario desde el principio.

Mises se destacó como estudiante en la Universidad de Viena, obteniendo un doctorado en economía y derecho. Escribió un libro sobre política de vivienda antes de encontrarse con los Principios de Menger y convertirse en economista austriaco.

Mises trabajó para jueces y ejerció como abogado antes de conseguir un trabajo como economista en la asociación profesional de vivienda. Mientras estuvo allí, demostró que los altos impuestos a las propiedades inmobiliarias estaban obstaculizando las nuevas construcciones, un problema serio en Viena. A través de sus documentos y conferencias, es decir, el poder puro de su mente, provocó un recorte en los impuestos, lo que llevó a una mayor inversión en la vivienda, exactamente como había predicho.

A Mises se le negó un puesto remunerado en la universidad, a pesar de publicar su asombrosa Teoría del Dinero y el Crédito. Antes de la fundación de la Fed, demostró que un banco central de ese tipo dañaría a las empresas y a las personas para ayudar al gobierno y sus compinches, y también provocaría el ciclo económico de auges artificiales seguidos de quiebras.

Mises fue un oficial del ejército durante la guerra, y tenemos el privilegio de tener sus medallas en el Instituto. Al principio, Mises fue asesor económico del personal general. Luego fue enviado al deber más peligroso en la guerra y casi lo mata. Guido Hülsmann, autor de la gran biografía de Mises, descubrió que el poder del análisis de libre mercado de Mises llevó a sus oponentes corruptos y estatistas con la esperanza de matarlo. Había mucho dinero en juego. Aún así, el herido Mises fue condecorado por su valentía bajo fuego y como un gran líder de hombres bajo un ataque brutal.

Después de la guerra, Mises se aseguró un puesto como asesor económico del gobierno para la Cámara de Comercio de Viena. Había sido bloqueado de un puesto en la universidad por poderosos socialistas, y en su lugar trabajó como un privatdozent (profesor privado) y más tarde un prestigioso en la universidad, ambos cargos no remunerados. Remunerado o no, lo usó para enseñar a los estudiantes y organizar su famoso seminario privado, que atrajo a los mejores intelectuales de toda Europa. Lo recordaron como la experiencia más intensa, rigurosa y divertida de sus vidas académicas.

Aunque trabajó en efecto con dos empleos a tiempo completo, Mises se lanzó a su trabajo como asesor económico para solicitar un estándar de oro totalmente canjeable. El banco central estaba furioso. Resultó que el sistema actual permitía a los funcionarios tener un fondo secreto secreto para ellos y periodistas económicos amigos. El vicepresidente del banco central incluso sugirió un soborno para Mises si tan solo él fuera más complaciente con el compromiso. Por supuesto, entonces y durante toda su vida, nunca lo haría.

El poder de la influencia de Mises como asesor económico se mostró de dos maneras más importantes. Austria amenazó con seguir a Alemania a la hiperinflación. Casi sin ayuda, su persuasión impidió una repetición en su país, si no de toda inflación, de la velocidad y profundidad de la catástrofe alemana.

Después de la guerra, un gobierno de coalición, en parte marxista, llegó al poder en Austria. Otto Bauer, un líder del partido socialdemócrata austríaco y ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, intentó introducir el bolchevismo en Austria, pero escuchó a su viejo amigo de la escuela Mises, algo que Bauer resintió amargamente en años posteriores.

Noche tras noche, Mises persuadió a Bauer y a su esposa, igualmente marxista, de que el bolchevismo significaría inanición masiva. Bauer estaba convencido.

Todo este tiempo, Mises también estaba tratando de hacer su trabajo académico. Y lo hizo, mientras también prestaba toda su atención a su trabajo diario. En lo que normalmente sería su tiempo libre, por ejemplo, escribió primero su artículo histórico mundial y luego su libro sobre el Socialismo. Justo después del establecimiento del bolchevismo en Rusia, demostró que sin una propiedad privada en los medios de producción, el socialismo sería un desastre caótico y generador de pobreza. Ninguna junta de planificación podría sustituir la propiedad y el mercado. Trágicamente para el mundo, pasaron décadas antes de que los socialistas admitieran, después de su muerte, “Mises tenía razón”.

Pero el mal del estatismo también creció desde otra dirección y Mises fue el primero en ver lo que estaba reservado para Austria con los nacionalsocialistas. Muchos colegas le atribuyeron haber salvado sus vidas, porque se fueron a tiempo. En 1934, Mises consiguió la primera y única cátedra remunerada de su vida, en la Escuela Internacional de Posgrado de Ginebra. Fue un momento feliz para Mises, que dio clases de francés sin acento y escribió en alemán. Pero en 1940, se estaba poniendo muy incómodo en Suiza.

Ya en 1938, los nazis invasores habían saqueado su departamento de Viena y le habían robado su biblioteca y sus documentos. Mises y su esposa Margit, luego primer presidente del Instituto Mises, decidieron ir a Estados Unidos.

Cruzaron Francia apenas al frente de las tropas alemanas que avanzaban y llegaron a Portugal neutral y un barco a Nueva York. Una vez aquí, en una comunidad académica que ofrecía cátedras a todos los marxistas y keynesianos europeos, no había nada para el “Neandertal”, “reaccionario” y el “hombre de las cavernas” Mises. El clima intelectual del New Deal fue amargamente hostil. Incluso cuando el libertario Volker Fund ofreció pagar el sueldo completo de su universidad, Mises fue rechazado por defender la libertad y el capitalismo.

Finalmente, el empresario Lawrence Fertig, más tarde benefactor del Instituto Mises, pudo persuadir a NYU, donde estaba en la junta, para permitirle a Mises ser un “profesor visitante” no remunerado y permanente. Aún así, los decanos keynesianos le dieron las peores oficinas y horas de clase, y trataron de persuadir a los estudiantes a no tomar sus cursos.

Sin embargo, a pesar de que en un nuevo país con casi sesenta años, de cuyo idioma tenía solo conocimientos de lectura y escritura, Mises estaba invicto. Reinició su seminario semanal, atrayendo a participantes como Henry Hazlitt, Ayn Rand y Murray Rothbard. Importantes líderes empresariales, periodistas y financieros auditaron sus clases. Esto condujo a otros profesores, dijo Robert Nozick, a llenarse de envidia.

Pero Mises, sin comprometer nunca sus principios, simplemente siguió adelante, sin quejas, sin preocupaciones y sin obstáculos. Y fue en la década de 1940 cuando Mises completó su monumental tratado La Acción Humana, en el que reconstruyó todo el análisis económico sobre una sólida base individualista.

Cualquiera de los libros que he mencionado y él escribió muchos más, sería un logro único y significativo para toda la vida. Fue uno de los mejores momentos de mi vida cenar con Mises y su esposa mientras trabajaba como asistente editorial. Tenía ochenta y seis años y era magnífico. Puedo testificar que Rothbard tenía razón: estaba detrás de las nubes de gloria de una civilización perdida y mejor: antes de la Primera Guerra Mundial en Viena. En apariencia, habla, vestimenta, porte y modales, fue un gran caballero europeo.

Debido a que Mises fue intransigente en cuestiones de principios, algunos de sus críticos lo han denunciado como “detestable”. Pudo haber tenido razón, pero como lo confirmaron Rothbard, Hazlitt, Hayek, Fertig, Leonard Read y tantos otros, fue amable, divertido y generoso, sin importar lo que le pusieran por delante. Él fue especialmente bueno con los estudiantes. O a un niño de veintitrés años que ayuda a volver a publicar algunos de sus libros, así como a publicar un nuevo documento.

Uno de los principios más fuertes de Roland Baader era la importancia del dinero sano, y esto lo aprendió de Mises. En su gran ensayo “Reconstrucción Monetaria”, Mises desafió a los pseudoeconomistas de su época y pidió un retorno a un estándar de oro completo. No necesitamos expandir la oferta monetaria a medida que crece la economía. Por el contrario, hacerlo promueve la inflación y la inestabilidad económica.

En estos días de corrección política, es importante darse cuenta de que Mises se opuso a la izquierda lunática que busca eliminar las instituciones en las que descansa nuestra civilización.

En su clásico socialismo, atacó al movimiento feminista radical: “Si el feminismo busca ajustar la posición legal de la mujer a la del hombre, en la medida en que busca ofrecerle libertad legal y económica para desarrollarse y actuar de acuerdo con sus inclinaciones, deseos y circunstancias económicas: hasta ahora no es más que una rama del gran movimiento liberal, que aboga por la evolución pacífica y libre. Cuando, yendo más allá de esto, ataca las instituciones de la vida social con la impresión de que podrá eliminar las barreras naturales, es un hijo espiritual del socialismo. Porque es una característica del socialismo descubrir en las instituciones sociales el origen de hechos inalterables de la naturaleza, y esforzarse, reformando estas instituciones, para reformar la naturaleza.”

Para Mises, el impulso feminista de abolir la familia descansaba en una concepción errónea del lugar que ocupan las mujeres en la sociedad: “El concepto erróneo al que se expone el principio de igualdad ante la ley en el campo de las relaciones sociales generales se encuentra en el campo especial de las relaciones entre esos sexos. Del mismo modo que el movimiento pseudodemocrático se esfuerza por eliminar las desigualdades naturales y socialmente condicionadas, igual que quiere hacer que los fuertes sean iguales a los débiles, los talentosos a los desprovistos de talento y los sanos a los enfermos, así el ala radical del el movimiento de mujeres busca hacer que las mujeres sean iguales a los hombres. Aunque no pueden ir tan lejos como para trasladar la mitad de la carga de la maternidad a los hombres, todavía les gustaría abolir el matrimonio y la vida familiar para que las mujeres puedan tener al menos toda esa libertad que parece compatible con la maternidad. Sin restricciones por el marido y los hijos, la mujer debe moverse libremente, actuar libremente y vivir para sí misma y para el desarrollo de su personalidad.”

Para comprender la línea argumental de Mises, debemos tener en cuenta un punto clave. Ignorar este punto es la mayor falla de todos los izquierdistas. La igualdad legal no elimina las diferencias biológicas. Por lo tanto, no se sigue del hecho de que las mujeres no ganen tanto como los hombres, o que no ocupen tantos puestos de poder, que sean víctimas de discriminación “4.4 Pero la diferencia entre el carácter sexual y el destino sexual no puede más se decretó lejos que otras desigualdades de la humanidad. No es el matrimonio lo que mantiene a la mujer internamente libre, sino el hecho de que su carácter sexual exige rendirse a un hombre y que su amor por el marido y los hijos consume sus mejores energías. No existe una ley humana que impida que la mujer que busca la felicidad en una carrera renuncie al amor y al matrimonio. Pero aquellos que no renuncian a ellos no tienen la fuerza suficiente para dominar la vida como un hombre puede dominarla. Es el hecho de que el sexo posee toda su personalidad, y no los hechos del matrimonio y la familia, lo que encadena a la mujer. Al “abolir” el matrimonio, uno no haría a la mujer más libre y más feliz; uno simplemente tomaría de ella el contenido esencial de su vida, y no se podría ofrecer nada para reemplazarlo.”

Homenajes a Murray N. Rothbard a menudo se incluyen con una lista de sus logros. Esto se debe a que fue tan increíblemente prolífico que parece haber muchos estudiosos con ese nombre.

Tan pronto como lo describa como economista, recuerda que escribió unos diez grandes volúmenes sobre la historia. Pero descríbalo como un historiador y de repente recuerdas que hizo grandes contribuciones a la filosofía política. Pero tan pronto como comienzas a hablar de su libertarismo, recuerdas nuevamente que escribió vastas cantidades de teoría económica técnica.

Es lo mismo con los lugares en los que eligió escribir. Si nos fijamos en su lista de publicaciones académicas, que es amplia y extensa, puede olvidarse fácilmente de que escribió constantemente y durante 50 años en periódicos populares de todo tipo, comentando sobre política, películas, cultura, deportes y cualquier otra cosa en el popular escena.

El problema empeora cuando considera las partes principales de su legado. Permítanme enumerar solo algunos:

Fue el economista que proporcionó un puente de Mises a la escuela austriaca moderna, a través de su influencia personal, artículos, y especialmente a través de Hombre, Economía y Estado, que apareció en 1963;

Desarrolló el sistema misesiano en las áreas de la economía del bienestar, la teoría de la producción, la banca, la teoría del monopolio, y lo vinculó todo con una teoría de los derechos naturales que se basaba en el pensamiento medieval e ilustrado;

Fue el pionero de la teoría libertaria que finalmente vinculó el principio de los derechos de propiedad a un principio coherente de no agresión de la política;

Fue el teórico contra la guerra que insistió en que la causa de la paz es inseparable del sueño de la prosperidad;

Rescató de la oscuridad a la escuela estadounidense de dinero duro del siglo XIX y tejió sus contribuciones en la teoría bancaria moderna;

Demostró los orígenes libertarios de la Revolución Americana con el relato más extenso que se haya hecho sobre los impuestos y la prominencia de la teoría libertaria durante el Período Colonial;

Explicó la agitación ideológica que afligió a la derecha estadounidense después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, mostrando la clara diferencia entre la Vieja Derecha y la Nueva basada en la actitud hacia la guerra.

Esto, por supuesto, solo araña la superficie, pero si continuara así, utilizaría demasiadas palabras y tomaría demasiado tiempo, cuando lo que realmente me gustaría discutir son los métodos de Rothbard como investigador, escritor y estudioso. También me gustaría llamar la atención sobre su heroísmo.

Un amigo cuenta la historia de un momento en que estuvo dando vueltas por el apartamento de Rothbard un verano. La conferencia que se acercaba ese fin de semana fue mencionada, y Rothbard se había olvidado de eso. Rothbard corrió a la máquina de escribir y comenzó a escribir. Las palabras fluyeron de él como si todo el papel ya hubiera sido escrito en su cabeza.

El resultado fue un documento de 60 páginas sobre historia y teoría monetaria, completo con bibliografía y notas a pie de página. La escena me fue recordada de la misma manera que los milagros se describen en los Evangelios. Su mandíbula estaba en el piso con asombro.

La anécdota es inspiradora pero también intimidante para aquellos que trabajan tan duro para lograr una pequeña fracción de este nivel de productividad. Podríamos mirar lo que hizo y desanimarnos de que nunca podríamos igualar su productividad en un sector pequeñ y mucho menos asumir todos sus intereses en tantas áreas de la vida.

El primer paso de Rothbard hacia la escritura fue aprender tanto como fuera posible. Él nunca dejó de dar este paso durante toda su vida. Nunca hubo un momento en que se despertara sintiendo que sabía todo lo que necesitaba saber. No importa cuánto escribió, siempre tuvo cuidado de leer aún más.

Si sigues su modelo, no lo considerarás una tarea ardua, sino un viaje emocionante. Un viaje por el mundo de las ideas es más emocionante y estimulante que la excursión más grandiosa a las siete maravillas del mundo, más audaz y aventurera que la caza salvaje, y mucho más trascendental que cualquier disparo lunar.

Hay otro respeto en el que todos podemos emular a Murray. Él fue valiente al decir la verdad. Nunca dejó que el miedo a los colegas, el miedo a la profesión, el miedo a los editores o las culturas políticas, se interpusiera en su deseo de decir lo que era verdad. Es por eso que recurrió a la tradición austriaca a pesar de que la mayoría de los economistas en ese momento lo consideraban un paradigma muerto. Esta es la razón por la que abrazó la libertad y trabajó para apuntalar su lógica teórica y práctica, en un momento en que el resto del mundo académico iba por el otro camino.

Esta valentía, valentía y heroísmo se aplicaron incluso en su análisis político. Era un opositor abierto de la acumulación y de la militarización nucleares de los EEUU durante la guerra fría. Su opinión al respecto le costó muchos puntos de publicación. Le costó amigos. Le costó partidarios financieros. Lastimó sus perspectivas de progreso profesional. Una sorprendente cantidad de sus artículos fueron escritos para publicaciones muy pequeñas, simplemente porque los más grandes eran cautivos de intereses especiales.

Pero el tiempo finalmente revelaría que tomó el camino correcto. Cuarenta años de escritura a favor de la Guerra Fría en la derecha fueron irrelevantes por los acontecimientos. El trabajo de Rothbard durante estos años ha resistido la prueba del tiempo. Él es visto como uno de los profetas solitarios del colapso del socialismo en Rusia y Europa del Este.

Las elecciones que hizo en la vida no fueron diseñadas para avanzar en su carrera. Fueron hechos para avanzar la libertad y la verdad. Durante muchos años, las publicaciones fueron cerradas para él. Él no enseñó en una institución de prestigio. Su ingreso era pequeño. Solo muy tarde en la vida comenzó a obtener su merecido como pensador y maestro. Pero él nunca se quejó. Estaba agradecido por todas y cada una de las oportunidades que surgieron para escribir y enseñar. Su legado ahora es una parte viva del mundo de las ideas. Las personas que intentaron excluirlo y escribirlo de la historia son en su mayoría olvidados.

Al igual que Mises, y también Roland Baader, Rothbard apoyó el sonido del dinero. Se opuso a la banca de reserva fraccionaria y favoreció el patrón oro. Su trabajo con Ron Paul y la Gold Commission en 1982 fue un punto culminante en la lucha por la libertad. Murray fue el autor principal del Informe de Minorías de la Comisión, “El caso del oro”. Todavía puedo escuchar su voz, como solía decirme “¡El dólar es una unidad de peso, maldición!”

Al igual que Mises, Rothbard no tenía ningún uso para la izquierda lunática. Desafió a los llamados “libertarios de izquierda” sobre un tema que será de especial interés para un público alemán, la inmigración. Poco antes de su muerte, Murray Rothbard publicó un artículo titulado “Naciones por consentimiento: Descomponer al Estado de la nación”. Había empezado a reconsiderar la suposición de que el libertarismo nos había comprometido a abrir las fronteras.

Señaló, por ejemplo, la gran cantidad de rusos étnicos a los que Stalin asentó en Estonia. Esto no se hizo para que los bálticos pudieran disfrutar los frutos de la diversidad. Nunca lo es. Fue hecho en un intento por destruir una cultura existente, y en el proceso para hacer a un pueblo más dócil y menos propenso a causar problemas para el imperio soviético.

Murray se preguntó: ¿el libertarismo me exige apoyar esto, y mucho menos celebrarlo? ¿O podría haber más en la cuestión de la inmigración después de todo?

Y aquí Murray planteó el problema tal como yo lo hice: en una sociedad de propiedad privada, las personas tendrían que ser invitadas a cualquier propiedad que hayan viajado o establecido.

Si cada pedazo de tierra en un país fuera propiedad de alguna persona, grupo o corporación, esto significaría que ninguna persona podría ingresar a menos que se le invite a entrar y se le permita alquilar o comprar una propiedad. Un país totalmente privatizado estaría tan cerrado como lo deseen los propietarios particulares. Parece claro, entonces, que el régimen de fronteras abiertas que existe de facto en los EE. UU. y Europa occidental realmente equivale a una apertura obligatoria por parte del estado central, el estado a cargo de todas las calles y áreas públicas y no refleja realmente los deseos de los propietarios.

En la situación actual, por otro lado, los inmigrantes tienen acceso a vías públicas, transporte público, edificios públicos, etc. Combine esto con otras restricciones del Estado de los derechos de propiedad privada, y el resultado son cambios demográficos artificiales que no ocurrirían en un mercado libre. Los propietarios se ven obligados a asociarse y hacer negocios con personas que de otro modo podrían evitar.

Roland Baader, al igual que Mises y Rothbard, enfatizó la importancia de los fundamentos morales de la sociedad. Describió los Diez Mandamientos como la “constitución de la sociedad”. Puede estar seguro de que no habría querido tener nada que ver con los libertinos y los degenerados que hoy se hacen pasar por “libertarios de izquierda”.

Me gustaría concluir con algunas reflexiones sobre los peligros del libertarismo que debemos enfrentar. Algunos libertarios nos han dicho en los últimos meses que sí, sí, el libertarismo es acerca de la no agresión y la propiedad privada y todo eso pero que es realmente parte de un proyecto más grande que se opone a todas las formas de opresión, ya sea impuestas por el Estado o no. Esto tiene dos implicaciones para el grueso libertario. Primero, oponerse al Estado no es suficiente; un verdadero libertario debe oponerse a varias otras formas de opresión, aunque ninguna de ellas involucre agresión física. En segundo lugar, el libertarismo debe ser respaldado porque la reducción o abolición del estado generará los otros tipos de resultados que muchos gruesos libertarios respaldan: firmas más pequeñas, más cooperativas de trabajadores, más igualdad económica, etc.

Evaluemos estas implicaciones de a una por vez.

Afirmar que no es suficiente para el libertario oponerse a la agresión es caer en la trampa que destruyó el liberalismo clásico la primera vez y transformarlo en liberalismo moderno. ¿Cómo, después de todo, el liberalismo clásico de los siglos XVIII y XIX se convirtió en el liberalismo obsesionado con el Estado de los siglos XX y XXI? ¿Cómo se volvió pervertida la alguna vez venerable palabra liberalismo? Precisamente por el grosor. Claro, los liberales del siglo XX dijeron que nosotros favorecemos la libertad, pero dado que la mera libertad negativa, es decir, las restricciones al Estado, no parece producir un resultado suficientemente igualitario, necesitamos más que eso. Además de las restricciones sobre alguna actividad estatal, necesitamos la expansión de otras formas de actividad estatal.

Después de todo, los nuevos liberales dijeron que la opresión estatal no es la única forma de opresión en el mundo. Hay pobreza, lo que limita la capacidad de las personas para tomar decisiones de vida. Hay propiedades privadas, cuyas restricciones limitan la capacidad de las personas para expresarse. Hay discriminación, que limita las oportunidades de las personas. Hay insultos, lo que hace que las personas se sientan mal. Centrarse completamente en el estado es perder estas formas muy reales de daño, dijeron los nuevos liberales.

¿Suena familiar? ¿No es esto precisamente lo que muchos gruesos libertarios están diciendo ahora? Atacar el estado no es suficiente, escuchamos. Debemos atacar al “patriarcado”, a la jerarquía, a la desigualdad, etc. Los libertarios gruesos pueden estar en desacuerdo entre ellos sobre qué compromisos adicionales implica el libertarismo, pero todos están de acuerdo en que el libertarismo no se puede dedicar simplemente a erradicar el inicio de la fuerza física.

Si algunos libertarios desean esperar o trabajar para una sociedad que se ajuste a sus preferencias ideológicas, por supuesto que son libres de hacerlo. Pero es malo para ellos, especialmente dada su insistencia en una gran carpa dentro del libertarismo, imponer a otros libertarios cualquier giro idiosincrásico que hayan colocado sobre nuestra venerable tradición, para implicar que las personas que no comparten estas otras ideologías no pueden ser verdaderos libertarios, o sugerir que sería “altamente improbable” que cualquier persona que no los tenga pueda ser realmente un libertario. Que estas son las mismas personas que se quejan de “intolerancia” es solo la ironía más deslumbrante.

Por lo tanto, el peligro de un libertarismo denso no es simplemente que vastos sectores de la población estadounidense no cumplirán con sus requisitos de ingreso, y no se mantendrán cada diez minutos con lo que MSNBC nos informa que es aceptable creer y decir. El peligro es que el grueso libertarismo importará sus otras preocupaciones, que por su propia admisión no implican el inicio de la fuerza física, en el libertarismo en sí mismo, transformándolo así en algo bastante diferente del sistema moral y social directo y elegante que hemos estado defendiendo por generaciones.

Ahora, para la segunda implicación, esa oposición al estado debería ser favorecida porque arrojará resultados igualitarios. (Por supuesto, la abolición del estado necesariamente aumentará el nivel de igualitarismo desde el punto de vista del estatus, la desigualdad de estatus entre los funcionarios del estado, por un lado, que hoy pueden llevar a cabo todo tipo de atrocidades morales con la legitimidad de el estado para apoyarlos, y la gente común, que está restringida por las reglas morales tradicionales contra el robo y la agresión, por el otro, ya no existirá cuando el estado desaparezca.) Pero, ¿y si no lo hace? La afirmación de que las empresas tenderán a ser más pequeñas en el mercado libre, y que la política del gobierno fomenta la grandeza en los negocios, es una afirmación demasiado amplia sobre un fenómeno demasiado complejo. ¿Qué pasa si la ausencia del estado no produce ningún cambio en el tamaño de la empresa, en la relación empleador-empleado o en la desigualdad de riqueza?

En ese punto, la pregunta sería: ¿a qué principio están los libertarios más comprometidos, la no agresión o el igualitarismo? ¿Qué pasaría si tuvieran que elegir?

Del mismo modo, el odio de algunos liberales clásicos por la Iglesia los motivó a confiscar la propiedad de la Iglesia e imponer restricciones de diversa índole sobre la actividad de la Iglesia. Cuando se llegó a una elección entre su creencia en la libertad y su odio personal hacia la Iglesia, su odio personal ganó el día, y su supuesta oposición de principios a la violencia se suspendió temporalmente.

Cómo las personas llegan al libertarismo también es inmaterial. Hay varias escuelas de pensamiento que culminan en el principio de no agresión. Una vez allí, podemos, por supuesto, debatir qué constituye precisamente la agresión en casos particulares, y otras preguntas fundamentales dentro del marco general de la inadmisibilidad de la agresión. Pero si la escuela de pensamiento a la que perteneces te lleva solo en parte hacia la no agresión, no es el caso que hayas descubierto una nueva o mejor forma de libertarismo. Tal caso solo significaría que usted es en parte un libertario, no un tipo diferente de libertario.

Ya sea que se afirme que las leyes de autodefensa son “racistas”, que Bitcoin es “racista”, o que los libertarios deben despojarse del “privilegio blanco”, todos los cuales han sido promovidos por libertarios que afirman haber superado nuestra supuesta fijación con el principio de no agresión: las diversas formas de un amplio libertarianismo confunden la enseñanza central de lo que creemos. Ninguna de estas preocupaciones tiene la más mínima relación con el libertarismo.

Todas estas afirmaciones adicionales son una distracción del principio central: si te opones a la iniciación de la fuerza física, eres un libertario. No tengo dudas de que Roland Baader habría estado de acuerdo. Avancemos para avanzar en los principios que aprendió de Mises, en contra de sus detractores, ya sean “libertarios” o no.

I don’t care where the President comes from. Day one, I opened an investigation on a fraudulent government Hawaii document, period, on a birth certificate, so if you can say Cruz has fake documents, okay. – Joe Arpaio • I don’t have any simple things.

It could be cold.” I’m inventing scenarios where I could wear it. – Shaun White • I don’t like to spend money when I’m traveling. I like to go places like Hawaii and not spend money. I splurge on time. – Jonny Weston • I don’t look down on tourism. I live in Hawaii where we have 7 million visitors a year. If they weren’t there, there would be no economy. So I understand why a tourist economy is necessary. – Paul Theroux • I ended up in the Army Air Corps in the Pacific, operating out of Ayuka field in Hawaii. – Louis Zamperini • I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell – but then I can never bring myself to sell them. – Trey Parker • I grew up in a musical family; the majority of my growing up was done in Hawaii. It’s what we do.

I think with anything new you’re going to get more enjoyment out of it if it comes to you quickly, and the uke facilitates that. – Eddie Vedder • I had done ‘Die Hard’ and it was somebody’s franchise. I actually just got done with the ‘Hawaii Five-O’ pilot and I was developing some things of my own. So ‘Total Recall’ one of those projects that I read wanting more not to like it. – Len Wiseman • I had never been to Hawaii, and now I say that my body is from L.A. but my heart is from Hawaii, because I’m in love with it and it’s home on every level, from a spiritual, soulful place. – Shailene Woodley • I hate painting with a broad brush, but I think the birther thing, at its root, is racist. The guy was born in Hawaii. A black guy is president. It’s cool. Get over it. Just deal with it. There’s nothing you could show these birther people that would shut them up. – Henry Rollins • I have never been afraid to tackle tough or controversial issues, but I have always done it with the intent to do what I was elected to do, and that is represent the interests of my constituents, the working people of Hawaii. I feel that we are facing some of the most difficult issues in recent history with regard to food security, a widening income gap, and the rapidly increasing rise of the cost of living in our State. I know that the office of Lieutenant Governor can do more to address these issues. – Clayton Hee • I have to say, though, that somebody pointed out to me on YouTube that Conan O’Brien was being interviewed, and he was talking about how, oddly enough, he went to see that movie [South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut ] in Hawaii with his girlfriend or wife or whoever, and he didn’t even realize his character was in it. But there he was, and he said, “This voice comes out of me, and I’m thinking, ‘That’s not me! Who is that? That doesn’t even sound like me!’ – Brent Spiner • I just got back from Hawaii on Saturday, and it’s so depressing how quickly all the stresses and the stressful energy of L.A. comes bombarding back. Everyone’s in a rush, you’re annoying everyone, get out of their way, everyone’s most important than you are, has got somewhere more important to be – very draining town. But I still love it in many ways. I wouldn’t leave California. I think it’s a fantastic state, if you can’t be in Hawaii all the time. – Natalie Maines • I know I can serve Hawaii and our country well in the U.S. Senate, know we can mount a solid statewide campaign, know we have a good chance of prevailing. – Ed Case • I know that some of those plans [of the North Korea] could very well lead to a missile that might reach Hawaii, if not the West Coast. We do have to try to get the countries in the region to work with us to do everything we can to confine, and constrain them. – Hillary Clinton • I love Hawaii. I really enjoy surfing in Oahu, and Waianae is such a great area. And Maui – I like Maui a lot, too. – Troy Polamalu • I mean, Hawaii is beautiful, but the world is full of beautiful places. – Robert Kiyosaki • I remember watching Swan Lake and everybody looking exactly the same, but being able to relate because they were the only company I had ever seen even on video that had Asian dancers. The Asian community in Hawaii is actually almost as dominant as the Caucasian community. I thought “I can relate to that company because they look like people that I see every day.” They weren’t all little stick-thin Russian ballerinas. – Joan Chen • I see life everywhere I look. I get the energy off the water. Hawaii really, when I am there, it feels like how we are supposed to live and how it’s supposed to be: slower, just appreciating our surroundings. I love the people there and the aloha, the history. They’re really rooted in something. – Natalie Maines • I shined off high school band, marching, jazz studies. At the time I was too cool for school, I had this professional gig and I was going home taking a shower and heading to downtown Hawaii, Waikiki. – Eric Hernandez • I still consider myself a little, fat kid from Hawaii. – Robert Kiyosaki • I take golf trips with my brother or with friends. We usually go to Pebble or Bandon Dunes. One year we went to Hawaii. – Greg Maddux • I think I learned years ago when I went to Hawaii that you don’t bring puka shells back. You’ve got to be careful of your vacation purchases. – Joshua Homme • I think I was a mermaid and I used to swim the shores or Hawaii and used to pop up and see coconuts and pineapples everywhere. – Ella Henderson • I think somebody like Wes [Anderson] has a very good sense of style and is original. I think my sense of style got a little bit better after I was exposed to you guys at Valentino. Because I’m just in Hawaii and Malibu; it’s just kind of T-shirts and surfing-type stuff. – Owen Wilson • I think that being isolated from the Hollywood world of premieres and red carpet events was probably good for me because I could ease into those at will and by my own choice. But in other aspects, when it comes to fanfare, Hawaii is nuts and in L.A. they’re all so jaded. They don’t care. – Evangeline Lilly • I think there’s a really great amount of potential for Hawaii to become an example of what’s possible with renewable energy because there are so many renewable resources here: energy, solar energy, and wind energy. There’s so much potential here. – Jack Johnson • I thought my book was done, then we went to Hawaii and the whole last chapter happened. – Mariel Hemingway • I truly believe the brightest days lie ahead for the Great State of Hawaii. – Linda Lingle • I volunteered to deploy to Iraq.

I’m kind of liking it over there. – Josh Holloway • I wanted to go back on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ I did it. One of my favorite shows is ‘Hawaii Five-0.’ I went on, guest starred. I wanted to be in a film, did ‘Tasmanian Devils’ in Vancouver. Wanted to host a show, boom, did it. – Apolo Ohno • I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii – Steve Case • I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa. – Jason Momoa • I was in Jersey when the whole World Trade Center thing happened and I felt powerless. So, I went to Hawaii and did a surf movie. It’s kind of fluffy. – Michelle Rodriguez • I was introduced to skateboarding through my father. He was a surfer back in the 50’s & 60’s in Hawaii, where my parents grew up. They later moved to California and I was born. Skateboarding was the thing for surfers here in California in the 60’s and my Dad immediately made me a homemade board. – Christian Hosoi • I was just asking Chad [Myers], how can you get a volcano in Iceland? Isn’t it too- when you think of a volcano, you think of Hawaii and long words like that. You don’t think of Iceland.You think it’s too cold to have a volcano there. – Rick Sanchez • I was over there in Hawaii. I was there on the big island. The ‘Big Island’ – that name cracks me up. First of all, it’s not that big, so I’m pretty sure a guy came up with that name. – Carol Leifer • I was raised all over. Kansas, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky, by the time I was 11. – Jeri Ryan • I would love to rent a little cottage or cabin in Colorado and learn to ski or snowboard. And on the warmer side, I also want to rent a house in Hawaii and learn to surf! – Karlie Kloss • I wrote ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ on my first trip to Hawaii. I took a taxi to the hotel and when I woke up the next morning, I threw back the curtains and saw these beautiful green mountains in the distance. Then, I looked down and there was a parking lot as far as the eye could see, and it broke my heart this blight on paradise. That’s when I sat down and wrote the song. – Joni Mitchell • I`ve always thought of him [Barack Obama] and from conversations know him to be a guy who takes the long view, who doesn`t get too high, doesn`t get too low and seizes the opportunities when they`re there and knows how to ride the wave. I ascribe that to Hawaii. He`s a body surfer, so he knows how to get on the wave. He knows just the right time. – Howard Fineman • I’d left Hawaii twice in my life, so I’d been on an island my whole life. I had no clue. I didn’t know how to live in a city. – Maggie Q • I’d love to be [one of MacGyver’s buddies]. I’d watch that one and just think, wow, what a life. Living in Hawaii, driving around in someone’s Ferrari, and solving mysteries. – Rhys Darby • I’d love to go somewhere warm, somewhere near the beach and somewhere with a cool culture. It could be Hawaii, Cuba, South America – anywhere that has a cool culture and a beautiful climate. – Steve Nash • If a nation’s security is only as strong as its weakest link, then America may be in serious trouble. Hawaii may be our weakest link and could have a serious impact on our nation’s immigration policy. – Joe Arpaio • If there’s a Disney animated feature based in Hawaii, I knew I had to be part of it.

There was no question the role was mine. – Tia Carrere • If we quit Vietnam, tomorrow we’ll be fighting in Hawaii, and next week we’ll have to fight in San Francisco. – Lyndon B. Johnson • If you don’t have at least a working knowledge of the Hawaiian language… you can’t chant well. You cannot… receive the images of poetry paints for you. It’s like having peas and no pod. – Keali’i Reichel • If you want to surf, move to Hawaii. If you like to shop, move to New York. If you like acting and Hollywood, move to California. But if you like college football, move to Texas. – Ricky Williams • I’m a surfer at heart. Both my parents moved to Hawaii in the 1970s, where they met and became Christians. Then they taught me and my two brothers how to love the Lord – and how to surf! – Bethany Hamilton • I’m not sure it’s possible to stay in Hawaii. It’s kind of impractical. – Terry O’Quinn • I’m of Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese descent, and was raised on Hawaii. – Tia Carrere • I’m quadracontinental. I’ve got a life in London, New York, L.A. and Hawaii. – Rebecca Mader • I’m still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am – not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads. – Kiana Tom • Imagine, if you will, you’re sitting at my desk in Hawaii. You have access to the entire world, as far as you can see it. Last several days, content of internet communications. Every email that’s sent. Every website that’s visited by every individual. Every text message that somebody sends on their phone. Every phone call they make. – Edward Snowden • In Hawaii they say, “aloha.” That’s a nice one, It means both “hello” and “good-bye” Which just goes to show, if you spend enough time in the sun you don’t know whether you’re coming or going. – George Carlin • In Hawaii, if you’re invited to dinner, it’s assumed that the children are invited as well. On the islands, no one treats children like they’re not part of the conversation. People talk to children as people and include them in adventures and conversations. – Gabrielle Reece • In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley. – Bruno Mars • In Hawaii, the environment is fabulous. In Malibu, the people are fabulous. Our family unity is tight, and we have the Pacific Ocean outside our door in both places, so there is consistency. – Laird Hamilton • In Hawaii, there are 50-year-old grandfathers, because they got married so early. – Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa • In Hawaii, they’re happy to hear that you’re filming a show. They love it that people actually come and make use of their beautiful landscapes. – Rachelle Lefevre • In Hawaii, we go to this wonderful place, all families. My wife and I go directly from breakfast to a beach chair where we read all day. My daughter goes from water to pool to running around with friends she meets, some of whom are regulars there. – Stephen Collins • In Hawaii, we greet friends, loved ones or strangers with Aloha, which means love. Aloha is the key word to the universal spirit of real hospitality, which makes Hawaii renowned as the world’s center of understanding and fellowship. Try meeting or leaving people with Aloha. You’ll be surprised by their reaction. I believe it and it is my creed. Aloha to you. – Duke Kahanamoku • In Hawaii, we have something called Ho’oponopono, where people come together to resolve crises and restore peace and balance. – Duane Chapman • In my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers that perished twenty years ago. – Mark Twain • In the case of Five-O, I believe it was a combination of many ingredients – timing, chemistry, Hawaii. – James MacArthur • Indian-styled garments are very popular in the U.S., especially in areas near the beach, like Hawaii and Los Angeles. – Maggie Grace • Insiders say Obama’s pretty comfortable around actors.

Either one is already in the kingdom. – Ed Silvoso • It doesn’t matter to me where Barack Obama goes. If he wants to go to Hawaii because it’s his home state, fine! Hunky-dory. Plastic banana, good-time rock ‘n’ roller dittos. – Rush Limbaugh • It is really so nice here-country-busy-busy with so many different kinds of things-… I must say I feel far away in another world here-… always we go to a new place…the people have a kind of gentleness that isn’t usual on the mainland. – Georgia O’Keeffe • It’s easier to be healthy in Hawaii than it is, almost anywhere else I’ve lived. You spend a lot of time outside, in the ocean and on the beach. – Terry O’Quinn • It’s good to visit Hawaii if you’re seeking power. You don’t really need to live here. Just to come over for a week is enough. Switzerland is another spot like this. It’s very similar. These are the two clearest spots, Switzerland and Hawaii. – Frederick Lenz • I’ve always been under the impression that it would be such a bummer to be in a peaceful place like Hawaii or the tropics and be stressed about catching waves. – Shaun White • I’ve been surfing for a couple years, in the offseason in California and in Hawaii. I’m not very good, but it’s just something that to be out there in the water, no cell phone, no music… very few sports are as pure as that. – Troy Polamalu • I’ve enjoyed the accommodations offered by police departments from Florida to Hawaii. Any time I saw a badge, something in me would snap. – Grace Slick • Jason Lee is the most famous actor from Hawaii I can think of. – Tia Carrere • Life is very nice in Hawaii. I rent a place that has its own cottage so when my friends and family come to visit, they have somewhere nice to stay. – Jorge Garcia • Make good the good in you…and you will slowly steal into the Hawaiian heart, which is all of softness, and gentleness, and sweetness. – Jack London • Many believe that Hillary Clinton was channeling President Obama during her recent speech in New York City. She focused on equality, justice, and how hard it was for her growing up as a young black man in Hawaii. – Jimmy Fallon • Many exhibits from this aquarium use Hawaii’s abundant natural daylight. This allows Waikiki to display only live coral, which creates beautiful exhibits. It’s also a world leader in the propagation of live coral. The aquarium features some unusual and rarely seen species, including the chambered nautilus and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal. – John Grant • Most of my ukulele heroes were traditional players from Hawaii, like Eddie Kamae and Ohta-san. There may not be uke stars in popular culture, but there are certainly pop stars that play uke – George Harrison, Eddie Vedder, Taylor Swift, Train, and Paul McCartney. – Jake Shimabukuro • Most of the time, I’m working in places I’m not familiar with. Sometimes it’s Slovakia, and sometimes it’s Hawaii. Not to bash on Slovakia, but I really did enjoy Hawaii. – George Clooney • Most people are walking around the city like corpses; they aren’t alive enough to notice the trash. They come from other places and they see it as a big garbage dump. Do you want to live and work in a garbage dump? I don’t. That’s partly because I grew up in the most pristine environment possible – Hawaii, where it is sacrilege to leave your garbage on the ground. – Bette Midler • My boyfriend, who I love to death – he’s only 17 so he’s the youngest guy I’ve ever dated – he just moved here from Hawaii to be with me and I met him when I was 10. Anyway, in Hawaii they have such a different mentality and different priorities. – Nikki Reed • My father is Chinese, Spanish, and Filipino; my mother is half-Irish and half-Japanese; Greek last name; born in Hawaii, raised in Germany. – Mark Dacascos • My father moved to Hawaii from Brooklyn and my mother came there as a child from the Philippines. They met at a show where my dad was playing percussion. My mom was a hula dancer. – Bruno Mars • My husband is from Hawaii and his father who was also born in Hawaii was a teenager when Pearl Harbor happened, right before church and he ran up and got on the roof of his grandfather’s house and watched the planes go over. – Sigourney Weaver • My kids have never known me not working on The Bachelor. But they’ve lived in Paris and Italy and been to Hawaii and Bora-Bora with me, and it’s incredible to me that they’ve had these experiences. – Chris Harrison • Not very many companies go through Hawaii on their way to anywhere. San Francisco Ballet was the only company I remember, and Bolshoi, coming through Hawaii when I was younger. – Joan Chen • Nothing is more often misdiagnosed than our homesickness for Heaven. We think that what we want is sex, drugs, alcohol, a new job, a raise, a doctorate, a spouse, a large-screen television, a new car, a cabin in the woods, a condo in Hawaii. What we really want is the person we were made for, Jesus, and the place we were made for, Heaven. Nothing less can satisfy us. – Randy Alcorn • One volcano in Hawaii, one volcano in Indonesia, produces enough gases in the atmosphere, which include those natural elements that are in the Earth’s crust, that, uh, kind of make all the, you know, the science that we have about what we produce, moot. – Jim Gibbons • Over the years, I’ve traveled to many places for inspiration and research, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Carolina, California, and Hawaii. – Jennifer Chiaverini • President Obama and his family are spending the holidays in Hawaii, and while they’re gone, they got a fence jumper to house sit. Tomorrow, he will be in Hawaii playing golf with Raul Castro and the Pope. – David Letterman • President Obama has decided that he wants his presidential library to be in Chicago, not Hawaii. Today Hawaii’s governor said, ‘Great, who’s going to want to come to Hawaii now?’ – Conan O’Brien • Running gives me a clearer perspective on the world, and it makes me feel special. I’ve never been a traditional tourist. I’ve always seen the world by running, and that has allowed me to view things in a different way. Places look different in the early-morning hours, when the streets are deserted. – Grete Waitz • Should hostilities once break out between Japan and the United States, it is not enough that we take Guam and the Philippines, nor even Hawaii and San Francisco. To make victory certain, we would have to march into Washington and dictate the terms of peace in the White House. I wonder if our politicians, among whom armchair arguments about war are being glibly bandied about in the name of state politics, have confidence as to the final outcome and are prepared to make the necessary sacrifices. – Isoroku Yamamoto • Since my mom is the President of Ballet Hawaii, I’m always in touch with stuff going on. – Joan Chen • Six years ago, I completed the premier episode of Hawaii Five-O, and Jack Lord and I immediately realized that we had a good series, that this was a success such as we’d never hoped for! – James MacArthur • So it was a really pleasant surprise when [Independence Day] turned out to be a successful film. I don’t know if you’ve heard that they’re going to be re-releasing it next Fourth of July in 3-D. I’ve actually only seen it once, and it was in Hawaii, in a little theater in Oahu shortly after it was released. But Roland Emmerich is a really smart guy, and he makes really fun movies to watch. – Brent Spiner • Some people say Hawaii is spoiled, but I don’t think so. It’s modern. It’s a part of today’s world. – James MacArthur • Somehow, the love of the islands, like the love of a woman, just happens. One cannot determine in advance to love a particular woman, nor can one so determine to love Hawaii. – Jack London • That isn’t to say that Hawaii’s better. On the mainland, everyone seems to be trying to get somewhere. Kids are taught to shoot for the moon, to believe in their ability to do anything, to follow their passions. In Hawaii, you’re stuck in the middle of the Pacific, and it can be difficult to see how you’re going to follow your passion from there. – Gabrielle Reece • That’s a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time. – Dwayne Johnson • The Aloha spirit is something that is very special and very meaningful to us and our Polynesian culture. Those of you who have had the opportunity to visit Hawaii, or any of the Polynesian islands, know that it’s a very special thing. It’s an intangible, and when you get off the plane and have your feet on the ground there, it energetically takes you to a different place. – Dwayne Johnson • The band would play on the night off for the local hotel bands and we’d back all the different acts. So I’d been advised by good friends of mine to come back to Hawaii. Oh, I loved Honolulu, playing at a place right on the beach at Waikiki! – Martin Denny • The beauty of Hawaii probably surpasses other places. I like the Big Island and the two mountains, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, where you can look out at the stars. – Buzz Aldrin • The best thing about wearing black is that you can hide pretty easily, unless you’re in like Hawaii, then you can’t hide. – Gerard Way • The cause of Hawaii and independence is larger and dearer than the life of any man connected with it. Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every Hawaiian, whatever his station. – Liliʻuokalani • The day before I left to fly in New York, I went in the ocean and was just lying on my black looking up at the sky, which was that Hawaii blue. Just that moment was worth the entire thing. The ocean is everything. It can heal you. – Gavin Rossdale • The five principles of aloha, when practiced together, awaken our awareness of our human potential and the sacredness of our life. – Paul Pearsall • The mindless rejoicing at home is really appalling; it makes me fear that the first blow against Tokyo will make them wilt at once…I only wish that [the Americans] had also had, say, three carriers at Hawaii. – Isoroku Yamamoto • The number one issue that Ocean Mysteries has opened my eyes to is, no matter where you are, whether you’re on a beach in Hawaii, you’re diving in the Pacific, you’re in a remote archipelago, or you’re in the middle of nowhere – I am blown away and sobered and crushed, emotionally crushed, by the amount of marine debris, of garbage, that is now in our ocean. – Jeff Corwin • The one we keep pitching and there are no takers is The Fabulous Baker Boys Go to Hawaii. There don’t seem to be any takers on that one! – Beau Bridges • The paintings are transferred from my computer to a disk, and I can hand it to the printer this way; or I can modem the painting to the printer over the phone lines from my house in Hawaii. – Buffy Sainte-Marie • The person who betrayed you is sunning themselves on a beach in Hawaii and you’re knotted up in hatred. Who is suffering? – Jack Kornfield • The sentiments in Hawaii about Washington’s failure of leadership are no different than the rest of the country. – Ed Case • The smell of the sea, of kelp and fish and bitter moving water, rose stronger in my nostrils. It flooded my consciousness like an ancestral memory. The swells rose sluggishly and fell away, casting up dismal gleams between the boards of the pier. And the whole pier rose and fell in stiff and creaking mimicry, dancing its long slow dance of dissolution. I reached the end and saw no one, heard nothing but my footsteps and the creak of the beams, the slap of waves on the pilings. It was a fifteen-foot drop to the dim water. The nearest land ahead of me was Hawaii.- Ross Macdonald • The spiritual destiny of Hawaii has been shaped by a Calvinist theory of paternalism enacted by the descendants of the missionaries who had carried it there: a will to do good for unfortunates regardless of what the unfortunates thought about it. – Francine du Plessix Gray • The U.S. started with no stars. In fact, it started with a completely different flag. The last two were added in 1959, Hawaii and Alaska. – Juan Enriquez • There are many things I’m looking forward to in 2013, both personally and professionally. Plans for new restaurants in the U.S., including Eataly Chicago, are underway, and I’m gearing up for the 2013 Ironman world championships in Hawaii – if I’m lucky enough to get a spot! – Joe Bastianich • There are several states where you can get married. But I think I can say without fear of contradiction, ‘Paradise awaits.’ We’ll be happy to welcome you. And if you do get married in another state, think about honeymooning in Hawaii. – Neil Abercrombie • There are spirits in Hawaii. They’re very protective and very good and they watch over these islands. I must confess, they’re not entirely happy with what they see, with the way the civilization is moving. But they’re patient. They’ve been here for a long time, and they’ll be here long after the human beings have ceased to inhabit the islands. – Frederick Lenz • There is one bright side to this, said Fang. “Yeah? What’s that?” The new and improved Erasers would mutilate us before they killed us? He grinned at me so unexpectedly I gorgot to flap for a second and dropped several feet. “You looove me,” he crooned smugly. Holding his arms out wide, he added, “You love me this much.” My shriek of appalled rage could probably be heard in California, or maybe Hawaii. – James Patterson • There’s nothing – there’s nothing – as action-packed as ‘Hawaii Five-O.’ – Michelle Borth • This sounds cheesy but when I would get in discussions with people about religion or spirituality, a lot of people would say, “I believe God is nature, there’s God in that tree” – and I would think, What the hell are they on about? But it was about four or five years ago in Hawaii where that all made sense to me and I got it all, and I felt God was in the trees and in the grass and the flowers, and I completely understood. – Natalie Maines • Though there is something cruel about being in Hawaii and you have a computer in front of you the whole time. – Justin Theroux • To be honest I don’t watch the show, I don’t watch any TV, so I have no idea what the show is about. I go to Hawaii, shot my scenes and script and ‘Ciao.’ I’m not a ‘Lost’ fanatic and it’s a disappointment for thousands people and friends that are dying to know what will happen. They know more than me. – Sonya Walger • Waterworld was the best time of my life. It was physically demanding, but it was fun. I mean, you’re in Hawaii for nine months shooting on the water every day. – David R. Ellis • We are truly the land of the great. From the rock shores of… Hawaii… to the beautiful sandy beaches of… Hawaii… America is our home. – Sarah Palin • We have great cities to visit: New York and Washington, Paris and London; and further east, and older than any of these, the legendary city of Samarkand, whose crumbling palaces and mosques still welcome travelers on the Silk road. Weary of cities? Then we’ll take to the wilds. To the islands of Hawaii and the mountains of Japan, to forests where Civil War dead still lie, and stretches of sea no mariner ever crossed. They all have their poetry: the glittering cities and the ruined, the watery wastes and the dusty; I want to show you them all. I want to show you everything. – Clive Barker • We have North Shore, Hawaii and Lost all there, so they have softball tournaments between the casts. It’s hilarious. – Josh Holloway • We need Hawaii just as much and a good deal more than we did California. It is manifest destiny. – William McKinley • We packed up all the worldly possessions we could carry with us and took the next flight to Hawaii from Washington. It took just about every cent my family had to our name just to pay the plane fare. When we arrived, we had about $15 left among us. We were really in pitiful shape. But we were together, and we were alive, and this was all that mattered. – Madalyn Murray O’Hair • We shot on location in our very first weeks, in our very first shows. I would like to go on location again, Hawaii would be good!! But normally, we tape five days a week in the studio starting at about 8:00 a.m. and continuing until about 8:00 p.m. – Juliet Mills • We were just floored by the kindness of the people here. The minister of the Unitarian Church in Honolulu invited my family over to his office the day we arrived and told us to make it our headquarters while we looked for a permanent residence. When we couldn’t find a place for about a week, he let us live in the church; that’s ironic, isn’t it? But it points up the vastly different intellectual atmosphere that prevails here in Hawaii. – Madalyn Murray O’Hair • We were on the island of Hawaii. I think I was there three months. It was fantastic. It is not much different than films. It depends on the television show but much of television today is as good or better than most films. – Bo Derek • Well, filming in Hawaii, you know, is a blessing. It’s one of the most beautiful places on this planet. It has a very mystic energy which informs you as an actor. – Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje • Well, President-elect Barack Obama and his family are gonna spend the holidays in his home state of Hawaii. And you know who couldn’t be more thrilled with this? The press, the reporters who follow the president. Well, think about it. After eight years of spending every holiday cutting brush in Crawford, Texas, they get to go to Hawaii! – Jay Leno • We’ve had every official in Hawaii, Democrat and Republican, every news outlet that has investigated this, confirm that, yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii, Aug. 4, 1961, in Kapiolani Hospital. – Barack Obama • When I get in the sun I get very tanned. You can’t tell me from the native fishermen in Hawaii or Mexico. – Desi Arnaz • When I’m in New York, I bike everywhere. I have a couple of bikes stored over at Ed Norton’s. It’s the only way to go. But in Hawaii, I drive. I have a little Volkswagen Bug, from the ‘Drive it? Hug it?’ phase. I run it on biodiesel. – Woody Harrelson • When Japanese went to Hawaii they would go straight and buy the same thing that they would buy in Japan. They just got it cheaper, which they liked. And so they would still eat the red bean ice cream or the green tea ice cream, but they didn’t really take advantage of the variety and it wasn’t clear that they cared. – Sheena Iyengar • When people are worried about the future, they don’t take trips to Hawaii. – Linda Lingle • When you go to Hawaii, it’s all about “Aloha.” It means hello, goodbye and I love you. – Gabriel Iglesias • Whenever I finish a book, I go off and have some kind of adventure. Having had an adventure in my writing chair or on my writing sofa, an internal adventure, then I need to balance that off with an external adventure, so I’ll go tramping through Africa or whitewater rafting or float to Hawaii in a martini shaker or something. – Tom Robbins • Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? – Steven Wright • With my being from Hawaii and being very family oriented I don’t really have a fear of a tragic ending. I dont see any tragic ending for me. – Bruno Mars • With the departure of Congressman Neil Abercrombie (D), who is running for the governorship of Hawaii, and with the tragic and very sad passing of my personal friend Jack Murtha (D-Pa.), mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill and this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they’ve gotten rid of me and it will pass. You connect the dots. – Eric Massa • You are the lei I entwine with the beauty of your smile. – Robert Cazimero • You know, I think there was a point in time when people didn’t really understand how birth certificates were kept in the state of Hawaii, and now, I think that it’s been pretty much disclosed that they used to have a long form and now they don’t have a long form. Arizona used to have a long form, we now have a short form. – Jan Brewer • You know, or three kinds of ice cream bars and you’d see this and like this… okay they could clearly benefit from some more choices and I remember having these discussions with the Japanese because they you know they often like to go to Hawaii for vacation because it was definitely much cheaper for them and I would ask them, “So when you go to Hawaii, you know do eat all these other things?” – Sheena Iyengar • You think that you can hide; you think you can lay low? I’ll roll up on your ass like Hawaii 5-0! – Busta Rhymes [clickbank-storefront-bestselling]
