Libertarian Thread # 3: Liberty will never die

I've never read it either. I'm sorry.

I can vaguely, in an abstract sort of way understand how a person might not like chocolate. Not so with cats.

I'm sure they have a forum you can join.

Read the first chapter of the book. If you can put it down, then you're a stronger willed man than I (or just have different subjective evaluations or interpret hyperbole more literally than I)

Something to immortalize here:

Originally posted by Slartibartfast Nice do divide it up like that, but I've been paying a lot of taxes all my life and I wasn't the beneficiary of running up the bill.

This is in reference to the national debt, which I divided up by US citizen, telling him he owes 50k+.

Note how he says he "wasn't the beneficiary running up the bill."

^Oh, privateers... isn't that how pirates began in the first place?

^ True - I wasn't being strictly literal or historically accurate - many 16th (& 17th) century pirates (ie those Hollywood-accurate historical characters we recognise as "pirates") began their careers as privateers and while the investors who profited from financing the privateers may or may not have been directly involved in the insurance and protection racket that was emerging in the Lloyd's coffee houses at that time, there was a degree of similarity between those investors and the investors who "wagered" on cargo ships arriving safely in port with their cargo to imagine them having a broad portfolio that had interests in both enterprises....  ...  ...  ...  yup, that's what I meant.

I took that fun isidewith.com quiz and as expected I side 94% with Ron Paul (though unexpectedly I side a lot with republicans in general). But the real news is that my Mom took it and her first choice was also Ron Paul. Oh hard work has paid off .

He will still never be elected anyway

Somehow, I got 90% with Mitt Romney and 88% with Ron Paul. The quiz must be broken indeed.

I didn't notice the "choose another option" buttons the first time through. I took it again and got 99% Ron Paul.

It's clear that MoM and my Mom are the only true libertarians here.

Or was that on facebook, hmmm.
