LOL, as if this essay could defeat the triumphant Xerographica. You got me ROFLing helmuth, I tell ya. Who could deny that giving tax choice to rational, self-interested individuals -- and stealing from them but letting them put $$ into options of their choice -- would result in the most...

Can't I just spread your stuff (and help people understand on, say, these forums)? I'm more of a follower than a leader, and don't want to take as much effort. Just IMO. I'm not as smart as you are. You, after all, have devised an entirely new - and I think the only consistent - ideology.

Oh, btw, I saw on your blog that you thought I was this "noneedtoaggress" guy? Not the case. While his meme and my appearance did coincide, correlation by no means implies causation. I actually really am a pragmatarian, not sure how I can convince you of this.

Ah, very interesting! While you are my favorite philosopher, I have only been convinced of pragmatarianism for a month, so I may not have read your older stuff. I'll have to check it out.

Ok, done! :D :D

Feel free to ask your questions to Xerographica here too. I know that I for one have a dozen of them. 1) I just wanted to say that you've changed my life...in a good way. I'm so much more tolerant of other peoples' perspectives, these days. How can I change other people's perspectives to help...

Ok, do you want me to post the questions in an open response thread? :D

I would trust NO congressman with the taxes,** only the people, who get to directly allocate their taxes into various government agencies. =) **unless people chose to allocate their taxes to Congress, that is =)

Well of course! I believe 100% in allowing people to directly allocate their taxes. That's exactly what I'm striving for. Maybe you want this to be a one man movement and don't want help. I dunno. And why didn't you answer my serious questions to you?

Is it like Buddah's story of the blind men and the elephant, hubener?

Would your life's story be different if you had tax choice?

Can't you just tell me what I said that was wrong? I will change that immediately. Perhaps you can't be a pragmatarian who believes that taxation is theft? Is that the issue here? I thought that, as long as you believed taxpayers should have the freedom to allocate their taxes, you were a...

Have you ever been rejected by one group (say anarchocapitalists), but only because you wanted to be accepted by another individual (say a pragmatarian leader and movement). And then you were rejected by them too?! Would you be sad in this scenario? How would you feel?

OK let's try this again. Perhaps I was a little bit too zealous. Hi, my name is Pragmatarian. How are you doing, Xerographica? Could I help you spread the Magna Carta Movement?

No, sir! I actually truly believe in pragmatarianism. The 16 messages on your user wall were sincere; they were all legitimate questions I had to ask. Questions I had saved in my word document since I was a closet pragmatarian. Perhap, perhaps...it was better as an anarchocapitalist. I thought...
