ABSTRACT
As a longtime libertarian, I have found myself from time to time supporting unpopular causes, taking up the cudgel for some concept unjustly maligned as a public enemy. “Resistance,” for example, is blamed everywhere for thwarting the good works of the analytic establishment; its very name has become pejorative. Not only do I want to defend and rehabilitate this misunderstood concept; even more, I want to have its heroic side appreciated so that it is recognized as among man's best friends. Unfortunately, my efforts on behalf of my beneficiary-elect have hardly affected public opinion. So once more into the breach.
