That's a lovely assertion. Now justify why it's OK to raid
one man's wallet and make him pay for another man's children's
education.
Or another man's security, or another man's road, or another man's
hospitalization, or another man's airport, or another man's levee ...
Exactly
Do you have a alternative suggestion that is distinguishible
from anarchy?
Yes, in this case I do. Use the force of government exclusively as
an instrument for the preservation of individual liberty. This
boils down to the government interdicting only in matters of force,
fraud, and/or threat (since all harm to individual liberty can
be reduced to one of those cases).
That's a lovely assertion. Now justify why it's OK to raid
one man's wallet and make him pay for another man's individual
liberty. Talk about robbing Peter to pay Paul!
You should go on the road crew of the Wizard Of Oz - You
just love the Strawman. A man is voluntarily entering into
a compact to protect *his own* liberty. i.e. He derives
benefit from the government's "taking". Morever, the
benefit/taking is the same for *everyone* in society (or should
be/will be until some form of corruption occurs). In every
other form of government-as-the-instrument-of-social-outcomes
(education, housing, poverty, drugs, ...) there are
*winners* and *losers* in the degree of liberty preserved
by government for different individuals.
BTW, this has to do with GW's Drinking (or not) as GW's Drinking
(or not) has to with woodworking. Shall we call a truce and
end this misbegotten thread?
Don't like the idea of mathematics by intelligent design, eh?
I'll try to finish up this weekend.
?
I see some of the other wreckers are
disgruntled having never apparently learned the filter and kill
functions ....
Perhaps they prefer netiquette.
Hmmm - this thread is in keeping with the long established tradition
of the wreck of wandering far OT for extended periods of time.
It is in no way remarkable compared to the many OT threads that have been
launched here over the years. Oh, I forgot - someone had the very bad
manners to stop assisting in the childish GWB bashing conducted by his
drooling detractors and jack the thread in an inarguably more intelligent
and thoughtful direction...
