Thou Shall Not Paint: A Libertarian Understanding of the Problems Associated with Graffiti on Public v. Private Property. Daniel J. D'Amico March 26, 2003 Law and Economics Dr. Walter Block Daniel J. D'Amico "Hank Rearden is the kind of man who sticks his name on everything he touches. You may, from this, form your own opinion about the character of Hank Rearden (Rand, 33)." The previous excerpt was taken from an interview of a young man who considers himself an artist not a vandal. This paper will attempt to determine whether or not his views about such are sound in terms of an Libertarian understanding of legal and economic theory. It will offer two distinctly different definitions for the terms graffiti and vandalism, and argue that the true "problems" of graffiti exist because of a lack of private property rights. Through this analysis, graffiti is seen as a governmental failure rather than a subculture dedicated to vandalism, thus recognizing the subculture as one devoted to establishing an art form of seriously developed talent, skill and style, and even an act of liberation. First off, one needs to understand what is meant by the term graffiti. When researching this form of artistic expression, in mainstream resources, one may find numerous terms associated with various types of styles, placements, and materials used, but these differences are not the most pertinent when trying to understand the validity of the art form in terms of legality and Libertarian philosophy. The basic question that needs to be addressed; is on what surface is the graffiti placed and who owns it? It is the argument of this paper that, graffiti ceases to be vandalism when it is displayed on public or abandoned property rather than private.

Quote from Lysander Spooner "The 'nations,' as they are called, with whom our pretended ambassadors, secretaries, presidents, and senators profess to make treaties, are as much myths as our own. On general principles of law and reason, there are no such 'nations.'... Our pretended treaties, then, being made with no legitimate or bona fide nations, or representatives of nations, and being made, on our part, by persons who have no legitimate authority to act for us, have intrinsically no more validity than a pretended treaty made by the Man in the Moon with the king of the Pleiades." by: Lysander Spooner (1808-1887) Political theorist, activist, abolitionist Source: The Constitution of No Authority (Boston: 1870); available on the Lysander Spooner website at www.lysanderspooner.org More Lysander Spooner Quotes Books by or about Lysander Spooner This Lysander Spooner quote is found in these Categories: Authority Foreign Policy Individual Rights Individualism ...

85. No Treason: The Constitution Of No Authority By Lysander Spooner by Lysander Spooner. I. The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. Lysander Spooner (1808–1887) was a lawyer, writer, entrepreneur, http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig4/spooner1.html

No Treason The Constitution of No Authority by Lysander Spooner I. And the constitution, so far as it was their contract, died with them . They had no natural power or right to make it obligatory upon their children. It is not only plainly impossible, in the nature of things, that they could bind their posterity, but they did not even attempt to bind them. That is to say, the instrument does not purport to be an agreement between any body but "the people" then existing; nor does it, either expressly or impliedly, assert any right, power, or disposition, on their part, to bind anybody but themselves. Let us see. Its language is: We, the people of the United States (that is, the people then existing in the United States), in order to form a more perfect union, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity , do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Home About Columnists Blog ... Donate An Abolitionist Defends the South by Thomas J. DiLorenzo by Thomas J. DiLorenzo In the ongoing debate and discourse over the War to Prevent Southern Independence quite a few libertarians will admit that Lincoln was a consummate liar and conniver, a dictator, tyrant, protectionist, corporate tool, murderer of civilians, and a white supremacist to boot. But they refuse to take a stand on the war because, you see, the Confederate government was not a libertarian Nirvana; it was not perfect. Therefore, they say, one cannot conclude that the war was just or unjust: A pox on both their houses! Or worse yet, they condemn the Lincoln dictatorship but praise his "leadership" in a just cause. Such muddle-headed confusion is not characteristic of all libertarians, of course; Murray Rothbard (in his LRC article, " Two Just Wars ") argued forcefully that, imperfect as they were, the Confederates were justified in seceding from the union, and in defending themselves against Lincoln’s invading army. The great historian of liberty, Lord Acton, wrote to Robert E. Lee in 1866 that he saw in the South’s struggle for states’ rights nothing less than the defense of "our civilization," and the last bulwark against centralized state tyranny.

Vices are Not Crimes: A Vindication of Moral Liberty " by Lysander Spooner (Cupertino, CA: Tanstaafl, 1977; published first in 1875) Introduction by Murray N. Rothbard Lysander Spooner: Libertarian Pietist We are all indebted to Carl Watner for uncovering an unknown work by the great Lysander Spooner, one that managed to escape the editor of Spooner's Collected Works It is instructive to consider Spooner and his essay in the light of the fascinating insights into nineteenth century American politics provided in recent years by the "new political history." While this new history has been applied for most of the nineteenth century, the best work has been done for the Midwest after the Civil War, in particular the brilliant study by Paul Kleppner, The Cross of Culture What Kleppner and others have shown is that the political ideas of Americans can be reduced, with almost remarkable precision, back to their religious attitudes and beliefs. In particular, their political and economic views depend on the degree to which they conform to the two basic poles of Christian belief: pietistic, or liturgical (although the latter might be amended to liturgical plus doctrinal.) Pietistic, by the 19 th century, meant all groups of Protestants except Episcopalian, High Church Lutheran, and orthodox Calvinist; liturgical meant the latter plus Roman Catholic. (And "pietistic" attitudes, often included deist and atheist.) Briefly, the pietist tends to hold that to be truly religious, a person must experience an emotional conversion; the convert, in what has been called "the baptism of the Holy Spirit", has a direct relationship to God or to Jesus. The liturgical, on the other hand, is interested in either doctrinal belief or the following of prescribed church ritual as the key to salvation.

Vices Are Not Crimes A Vindication of Moral Liberty by Lysander Spooner, 1875 I Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another. Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property. In vices, the very essence of crime - that is, the design to injure the person or property of another - is wanting. It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practises a vice with any such criminal intent. He practices his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others. Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property, and the corresponding and coequal rights of another man to the control of his own person and property. For a government to declare a vice to be a crime, and to punish it as such, is an attempt to falsify the very nature of things. It is as absurd as it would be to declare truth to be falsehood, or falsehood truth.

Hoover Fellow Clint Bolick Receives Lysander Spooner Award For Leviathan September 8, 2004 Leviathan, the latest book by Hoover fellow Clint Bolick, was awarded the Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty. http://www-hoover.stanford.edu/pubaffairs/releases/2004/09bolick.html

Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 8, 2004 Hoover Fellow Clint Bolick Receives Lysander Spooner Award for Leviathan Leviathan (Hoover Institution Press, 2004), the latest book by Hoover fellow Clint Bolick, was awarded the Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty. For those who have declared the era of big government over, says Bolick, they are dead wrong. In Leviathan , Bolick shows that, although the national government has downsized somewhat since the Reagan era, local government has grown exponentially. This ever-expanding beast, he explains, saps our nation’s productive vitality and threatens us with "grassroots tyranny." Bolick ultimately reveals that, although the rules are often rigged in favor of local governments and against ordinary citizens, we can take action to rein in these out-of-control bureaucracies. Bolick, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, is president of and general counsel for the Alliance for School Choice, the nation’s foremost organization advocating school choice programs for economically and otherwise disadvantaged children. He cofounded the Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm based in Washington, D.C., that litigates in support of economic liberty, private property rights, school choice, and freedom of speech. The Lysander Spooner Awards are presented by Laissez Faire Books to honor those who continue to advocate freedom. This honor is awarded monthly to the most important contributions to the literature of liberty, followed by an annual award to the author of the best book on liberty for the year.

Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 11, 2004 Hoover Fellow Thomas Sowell Receives Lysander Spooner Award for Applied Economics (Basic Books, 2003), the latest book by Hoover fellow Thomas Sowell, was awarded the Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty. Often described as the ideal companion to Basic Economics: A Citizen’s Guide to the Economy this is also a book that stands on it own. In Applied Economics Sowell moves beyond the pure economic principles that he explained in Basic Economics to focus on applying economic principles to real- world problems. He explains many points the reader may not be acquainted with and offers a fresh treatment of familiar points with an abundance of fascinating illustrations. Publishers Weekly said, “the great achievement of Sowell's book is its simplicity. His writing is easy and lucid, an admirable trait considering the topic at hand.” The Lysander Spooner Awards are presented by Laissez Faire Books to honor those who continue to advocate freedom. This honor is awarded monthly to the most important contributions to the literature of liberty, followed by an annual award to the author of the best book on liberty for the year. Sowell is the Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow in Public Policy at the Hoover Institution.
