     This seems to have been happening a lot lately, actually. You'd expect the arguments to be cooling off after the election, not heating up. Tongue

Somebody is fighting?

I'm waiting for a cite that says libertarians want no govt.  I don't expect one mind you (because it's not true, obviously), but I was hoping not to just be ignored.  Ignorance about libertarians I expect from the general populace, but not from people that care enough about this kind of thing to spend time on this message board.  Educate yourself a little, you still won't agree with the positions, but at least you won't look foolish when you talk about them.

Write in: New Australian political party...

The Australian Sex Party: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24662905-12377,00.html

Here's a handy hint: if, like me, you want to find the recent news articles from the past week about this new political party, try visiting the news websites and not typing "Australian Sex Party" into google... [/blushing]

I am serious man, who actually likes Ayers? He is a domestic terrorist who believes in Anarcho-Marxism for Christ's sake!

Ayers isn't an "Anarcho" anything, he's a communist.


Dead0man's a libertarian, they're about limited government, not about having no government.

Not libertarians cause you need some government to help maintain structure.
You are confusing libertarians with anarchists again.  Please stop.  Libertarians don't want NO govt, we want LESS govt.  Huge difference.

Well if you get want you want then the least amount of government might be no government.

Of course, but that's not what I asked you. Smiley

How does 'least amount of government' mean no government? It's not logical.

Considering you can't physically have zero of something, and still say you possess it, then least amount doesn't mean "none". Having even the smallest portion still counts as actually possessing some. Zero is a place holder digit, a concept. I may have the least amount of foresight here for falling into your trap, but I've still got some left. Smiley

zero is a #. If it was not then 1 and so on would not be #'s either.

I never said zero wasn't a number. It makes no difference, but the numbers one and so on were devised before the concept of zero was. I thought this thread is about politics.

Haha, it's fun talking to you. I said:


Zero is a number, but it has no physical equivalent. The least amount of government, in the libertarian view, still means government exists. It doesn't mean zero government, just a smaller one than what we have now, depending on the politicians in charge.
