Thought I'd share a few pictures with y'all.
The first is of the doormat at my apt., given to me recently by my good buddy John Ross. The theme is great -- sort of a "Don't Tread on Me" message to law enforcement -- but the statement coming back with a warrant denotes that I recognize the legitimacy of such a document and its issuing agents...
This second picture is of a piece of art I bought from my bud
Morgan Ashcom. It was included in the show "Bought" he did at
MOCA DC Georgetown a couple of years ago and I finally had enough discretionary income to pick it up earlier this year. To me, the piece shows money being transferred from a blue-collar guy, to a white-collar guy, to Uncle Sam (thanks to government policies, rent-seeking, etc). The picture is surrounded by insightful quotes about
currency (fiat and commodity-backed), and about the relationship between the individual and the State.
Close-up pic of the piece, showing quotes from
Mises and
Rothbard. The quotes were found and copied by Morgan as he read relevant works, and the raw nature of them only makes the piece more powerful.

Hey Pete, I enjoyed reading your explanation of the work. Thanks for posting it up.
It's interesting to hear different people's interpretations. Often they'll come up with something different.
Good to see you have the piece hung up.
