P3ter: The issue being complex and the ideas being novel, I am making a long reply.
Most Americans are holding diverse opinions about these issues (All men were created equal, whether America is Republic or Democracy, whether majority is arbiter of truth etc). But the mainstreams can easily be...
R3V, I hope that you are sincere in your “Adios”. You continue believing in your thoughts and I will believe that many libertarians are shifting towards monarchy, a dangerous trait.
Whether your allegation against me is true or false, I hope you will accept that a man has right to spread his...
Net Net for R3V – there are many fallacies in your arguments but I don’t believe there is any point in the discussion; You can go round and round twisting arguments, but net-net your yearning is for a know-all monarch like Plato’s philosopher-king, another Dark Ages etc. This time there is huge...
R3V, Sorry for the delayed response; requirements of routine life distracted, but importantly, I was taken aback by your insistence on a monarch and unable to figure out a response – even now I am not sure you really mean you want a monarch.

R3, I think he is using the word “dictatorship” as a general term for murderous dictatorship starting right from tribal chiefs to the modern ones like Communist Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, umpteen sundry uncivilized military generals like Af-Pak, Gaddafi etc. He is not talking about what...
Agreed, but not just the Doers of God, but Democrats as well widely oppose legalisation of prostitution. The rights of this minority of labour force are not as important as maintaining irrational social norms.
Agree with Peace&Freedom here, with an addition: A minority can bring about a revolution, but it needs extra-ordinary circumstances and/or the minority should set aside their internal differences and unite.
Education is the most crucial aspect from parents' point of view that should be left to the free market so that the overall quality increases and so that they have a real choice. But it has been left to the government and in turn acts as a magnet for leftists of various persuasions who have our...
