The Highwayman - Episode 32

Will Falk get a chance to take down the highway robber before bystanders talk his ear off? Is she making a fair analogy to the relationship between capitalist and worker?

The Highwayman, episode 32 of This Gun in My Hand, was standed and delivered by Rob Northrup. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, information on how to subscribe, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. What will I give the Highwayman? This Gun in My Hand!

This and all episodes of This Gun in My Hand are available on Youtube with automatically generated closed captions of dialog.

Show Notes:
1. The woman on the bus is named after Dara Gottfried, producer of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast.

2. The Highwayman talks about the “closure” of the commons when everybody knows it was called “enclosure.” What a dope.

3. I hope it’s obvious that the “History Minute” is false. For a thorough and accessible description of what really happened, read The Whiskey Rebellion: George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and the Frontier Rebels Who Challenged America's Newfound Sovereignty by William Hogeland.
