The fact that Libertarian philosophy has never, ever, in the history of the planet, worked ("no government" inevitably leads to a Somalia situation -- rule of the most vicious and venal, those most willing to use their guns) just gets a glib handwave, "true libertarianism has never been tried!" Shades of the Marxists! Fellow travellers, indeed :). <br /><br />- Badtux the Snarkily Pragmatic PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-85806568413789779702010-07-10T11:46:50.278-04:002010-07-10T11:46:50.278-04:00So it is written, so it shall be. :)So it is written, so it shall be. :)Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-2345319910223577592010-07-10T10:25:09.055-04:002010-07-10T10:25:09.055-04:00"Heartless libertarian" will do finr. ;)..."Heartless libertarian" will do finr. ;)Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-25589928632214998202010-07-09T10:29:32.315-04:002010-07-09T10:29:32.315-04:00Sorry, Tam.
