I don't think this is a "free market flaw" or with libertarian theory itself, but it is a problem of implementation that means (imho) that any attempted transition to libertarianism from our current system is probably doomed to failure. The problem, as I see it, is a question of the order in...

You have to consider the results in light of the original conditions of the race. If Dodd had not retired and McMahon had not decided to buy the nomination, Peter may very well have won.

I only agree with RP in a pragmatic sense. In the current situation, we need to keep illegal immigrants out. The two key reasons he mentions we need to do this are welfare abuse and driving down wages, which are valid points. The position is ideologically inconsistent with libertarianism, but...

So, does this mean I can say my Florida ccw is valid in MA? :)

Didn't see anything at http://www.libertyplanet.com/files/wallstreetunspun/1006/Peter-Schiff-Wallstreet-Unspun_07-07-2010.mp3, maybe just not up yet. In the meantime it looks like someone put it on YouTube. It can be found by searching for "schiff 7/7/10"

How much would it cost to hire a blimp for a couple days? :p

This is the core of it. My hope for C4L was always that it would give a voice to issues that had no voice in Washington. Merely voicing an opinion on "hot topics" like healthcare, I feel is unproductive. The value of Ron Paul's campaign is it brought issues to light which were previously...

I guess I like the subtle approach.

When I am cleaning my .22 revolver, I get metal shavings when cleaning the cylinder that are very obviously from the edge of the rod touching the end of the cylinder. I have noticed that the brass shavings that appear are small enough that they do appear to be silver at first glance. When...

It's just good business sense. 99% of their clientele is probably potheads, do you think they want to lose all their other customers because a cop wants a cup of coffee? I don't even smoke it, but I generally feel uncomfortable when cops are around. It's unfortunate that they've been largely...

$18/hour? You'd think with this economy you'd have people lining up around the block to do it for $10.
