No Kings. No Tyrants. No Excuses. My good friend Adam “Brick” House is a combat veteran and longtime activist. He’s served his country in uniform, worked on campaigns, marched in protests, and never sworn loyalty to any party, only to the Constitution.

“We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out of the White House because they were stupid warmongers.

All we have to do is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.”
— Hunter S. Thompson,
Rolling Stone, November 11, 2004

“Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.”
- Terence McKenna, attributed


"In the end, McKenna, the Stoics, Buddhists, Taoists, and Heraclitus are all pointing us toward the same truth: to live fully, we must learn to dance with chaos, not run from it. We must let go of our rigid need for control and open ourselves to the wild, untamed, and unpredictable flow of life. Only then can we truly understand the deeper currents that shape our existence, the very sections of life where chaos and order intertwine."
