Wow, thanks for all the hatred, guys. Really appreciate it!
Re: The case for libertarianism
Dude, I'M a Libertarian. the argument here was too verbose, and after reading it through completely, I still don't know which angle you were approaching this from.Wow, thanks for all the hatred, guys. Really appreciate it!
It basically said "These are the stereotypes!" and then a bullet-point list without explanation ending with a statement stating that it's a meeting ground between the left and the right. While Libertarianism is indeed a mixture of the two philosophies, I don't think the long, drawn out argument effectively explains what, or why, this is the case.

Re: The case for libertarianism
Ah, gotcha. See what you mean. I know the article was a little verbose, but I thought it would be a good way to get some people here to look at alternatives to the two mainstream parties, and perhaps find a better fit than the one they subscribe to.

Really? Huh, didn't realize that .Dude, I'M a Libertarian.Wow, thanks for all the hatred, guys. Really appreciate it!
Re: The case for libertarianism
Most proponents of Libertarianism aren't insane, just like the idea of a small federal government and large social freedoms.Really? Huh, didn't realize that .
Personally, I'm a huge fan of the idea of the federal government strictly concerning itself with the nation as a whole (Military, some level of Interstate Highway, FAA, and all international policy [and nationally historic site maintenance]), and let smaller, more local governments determine the type of social environment exists (Medical, education, local and state roads, parks, etc.). Say, let California create a social medicine program managed by county governments and funds, taxed based on which county an individual lives, and let Texas make use of the private insurance companies and have a smaller government presence in the market.
With that, you still have the power to vote and change things as you feel needed, but if one environment goes against what you feel is ideal, and you're unable to change the local policies, you could move to somewhere inside of the US and enjoy an area more towards your political inclinations. Though that's still not ideal for everyone.
... Just none of this "Going back to the gold standard" BS. That's retarded and won't work.

Re: The case for libertarianism
There's communism for that, and if that's that not viable then we can set up small communities of hunter-gatherers.to get some people here to look at alternatives to the two mainstream parties
Re: The case for libertarianism
DC is a small community where everyone knows each other pretty well, and I don't think people really appreciated it when you just showed up and posted a copy of an article without saying anything yourself... It rather rang of hollow prosthelytizing, not an attempt to be part of the community of DC... you should have at least made the small effort of introducing yourself first.Wow, thanks for all the hatred, guys. Really appreciate it!
Scurry, scurry, Scurryous! You might just be the murriest. You certainly are the furriest! Hurry! Scurry! Scurryous!
