The government has no needs. We can pretend it does if we belief "government" really means "people who run things"

I'm done wondering. I'm planning to change it. What's your plan? I didn't watch the videos. You didn't convince me enough to help me see if it would be worth it. But thanks for embedding them

So, do you mean that people who want redistribution of wealth are in fact not poor, but rich? Reality doesn't seem to match that assessment. Are you poor? I'm not arguing that those who would "lose" if my idea were to come to fruition didn't earn their money. I'm just wondering if they...

Are there no moral absolutes? Or do you consider yourself a relativist? I believe there are real answers to moral questions, that indeed can and should be legislated [EDIT: I think a better word is "enforced," not legislated. That was just the convenient word of the moment I wrote that]...

You're welcome. I think it's a good idea too. But I'm not sure what the :rolleyes: is about. Could you help me with that? Can you send me your logic system's error report? :rolleyes:

Why? Because denial like yours will keep us from understanding that the best thing to do is move on. There are 50x better things to be doing now to support liberty than to chase a pipe dream. Instead of moping around here, you should be planning to run for local office, like Ron Paul is doing...

Martial law? What the hell, do you think this is Poland in the 80s? Supreme pessimism and willful denial of reality in that statement astounds me.

That's why you run as Republican :rolleyes:

Hmm, that is a challenge. First thing that came to mind: people don't know if they can trust you yet. Well, I've noticed two ads atop the forum's main page with "Ron Paul Approved" stamped on them. Maybe you could get Ron Paul Approved? You were the top recruiter as a precinct captain...

I want to see this happen. I am willing to do work for it too. MrZach, let's talk?
