All of the ones that I produce. This is made clear under the rights outlined by the constitution. The current government is off the rails, and is violating the rules of the constitution and working against the consent of the governed. It is time for a new revolution either within the system or...

If you don't consent, then why don't you go off into the forest and build your own little society all to yourself? The rest of us ask you to follow certain rules if you want the right of using our resources and living in our communities. Note: This is not so much as a collectivist statement...

You are a minarchist and I respect you. I will admit, this post was mostly targeted at the anarchists which infest this forum:D.

Well first of all, the government is not a monopoly. There are many of them around the world, and as long as there is freedom of travel, there shouldn't be a problem. Second of all, a just government does not "enforce itself", but is enforced with the consent of the governed. "And when any...

So a man holds his kids up for collateral. Who says he can't do it? He can and will. Slavery is one of the greatest evils on the Earth, and once institutionalized, it becomes pervasive. In this day and age we have grown beyond that sort of thing. The government needs to regulate rating...

Don't give me that relativism crap. There IS an objective standard of measure for "good" and "bad". Would you say that a giant monopoly enforcing itself through paid thugs, is a good thing, in the interest of mankind? What, NO you say? Oh look, you just made a value judgment about what is good...

Pls don't let my first thread die in vain! lol.

The rich get richer. The poor get richer. You capitalist bastards! lol

So this is my first thread. Which issues should we focus on in the congress? It is likely that we won't get anything passed until Obama is out of office, so the issues we support now should not be the critical ones, but the ones which will give us support of the moderates for the 2012 election...

C'mon Mr. Libertarian. Haven't you heard of an opportunity cost? Instead of waving signs, they could be knocking on doors, or placing calls, or making fliers.

Opt out, and tell the other people in the airport that the scanners cause cancer. Do your part!

This is not Austrian economics specifically, this is just economics. Well, you need to realize that the free market only works in the following situation: 1. contracts are enforced, 2. force is not used (You can't hire a bunch of thugs to extort money from people) 3. no slavery (in the old...

It is only cost effective in front of a television camera. Therefore it should only be done at media events, or in mass numbers which will draw local media. You could even do a mass rally in every single major city in a state, on consecutive days, essentially buying yourself free media in...
