as heavenlyboy said, this was off topic, but here is a response. What an-caps/voluntaryists are trying to do is make society in general understand that the state is illegitimate and unethical, because that is necessary to reach a stateless society and keep it. Society has already accepted...

Why would anyone want her to endorse Ron? She is such a polarizing figure, I don't want any association with her.

First of all, she wasn't even in a parking spot, she was in the middle of the driveway. I doubt she was isolating herself. Second, she probably started yelling at them before she walked over and they started filming then.

David Friedman takes a utilitarian approach as opposed to the natural law and he says "But I think we must be open to the possibility that, given our circumstances and our society, no such solution is possible, that the overuse of recreational drugs is simply one of those evils that must be...

Me too. Drudge this guys! Especially since there is a pic of Romney with the cadets on Drudge right now.

Just FYI, the death penalty ends up being way more expensive than keeping a person alive for life. You can do an internet search and find plenty of studies on the subject.

It's a possibility haha. I don't think he will get one, but it is obvious that he is trying.

Newt has been setting himself up this whole time to get a cabinet position for whoever is elected.

It does not bother me. Also from wikipedia: Spooner was wrong about wage labor, as were several other individualist anarchist. This group is mostly labor, not socialism as a whole. I consider myself a libertarian, not an anarchist, and there are several things I don't quite agree with him...
