I believe strongly in liberty and personal freedom. Under ideal circumstances, I feel it would be perfectly acceptible to sell a kidney. Unfortunately however, I think in our current monetary environment (i.e. fiat currency with bankers controlling the world) allowing the sale of kidneys is to...

This is exactly what I need. I want to support as many candidates as possible who share Ron Paul's platform of limited government, maximum freedom, and strict adherance to our Constitution.

Thank God....I will be very sad if he loses his congressional seat.

Today in ABCNews.com's article, titled "Fed Forecasts Higher Unemployment, Higher Inflation" interesting word choices were made describing Fed actions: "The updated forecasts come amid worry by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues that the U.S. economy could continue to...

Ladies and gentlemen we need to understand that whenever there is a popular forum that gets a lot of readers, inevitably it will attract those who are here not in the search for truth, but in the interest merely of debating for its own sake. These individuals do not come here with an open mind...

Either you are a troll, or you are so stuck on your position that you cannot see alternatives. In the scenario above, independent third party agencies would administer testing services to students on behalf of parents. Part of the student-school contract would mandate that the school ensure...

Here is a quote that I made: "When there is a financial incentive for doing something, it gets done." This is pretty much true in all cases. Take crime for example. Crime pays. Therefore, we have crime. The best solution to every social problem that one can conceivably think of, is to create a...

This is your fallacious assumption right here. That you cannot contemplate non-government-mandated solutions to specific health care problems reflects more a lack of imagination on your part than a shortcoming of the free market system.

Apparently SeanEdwards and other like-minded ilk did not read the essays in my aforementioned post so I will repeat the post: Robert P. Murphy wrote free market solutions to services typically provided by government in his short essays titled "Chaos Theory: Two Essays On Market Anarchy"...

So public schools are better than nothing? Do you know this? I think that is a dangerous assumption. Public schools (at least here in Florida) are paid for through property taxes and lottery sales. What if there were no public schools? Well taxes would be lower and money that was going into the...

Well I guess if you set the bar low enough then you could say "public schools are working".

We do not have a free market health care system, because only businesses who provide a health plan may take a tax deduction for cost of health care. This effectively increases the cost of shopping around for health care services and limits competition (since a given employer has an exclusive...

Funny that you bring up this topic. Robert P. Murphy wrote about this subject in his short essays titled "Chaos Theory: Two Essays On Market Anarchy". Murphy writes: "The following essays show that the two most crucial 'functions' of government - law and defense - can be efficiently supplied...

Leave me the fuck alone to do my thing, and I won't put a bullet up your ass.

Lets see: Moral Hazard Problem: Tendency of one party to an agreement to alter his or her behavior in a way that is costly to the other person. For example insured people being less careful about their health (since they are insured), doing less preventive steps. Or consuming more health care...
