I gave you +rep. I wish I could give you double mega +rep.

Aggression will always exist (murder etc.) its institutionalisation though, need not be the case. Eliminating anarchy is impossible. See: this ;).

Nope. Not even close.

No. Given: Suppose, for example, that we were all suddenly dropped down on the earth de novo and that we were all then confronted with the question of what societal arrangements to adopt. And suppose then that someone suggested: “We are all bound to suffer from those of us who wish to aggress against their fellow men. Let us then solve this problem of crime by handing all of our weapons to the Jones family, over there, by giving all of our ultimate power to settle disputes to that family. In that way, with their monopoly of coercion and of ultimate decision making, the Jones family will be able to protect each of us from each other.” I submit that this proposal would get very short shrift, except perhaps from the Jones family themselves. And yet this is precisely the common argument for the existence of the state. When we start from the zero point, as in the case of the Jones family, the question of “who will guard the guardians?” becomes not simply an abiding lacuna in the theory of the state but an overwhelming barrier to its existence. — Murray Rothbard, Society Without A State

Nope. See, there currently exists anarchy still between states... :p For the aspiring Austro-Libertarian: What to read? #4 I thought I would recommend some of the not so well known but nevertheless mind-blowing journal articles that should be read by everyone in the movement, especially by those outside it. This is the fourth in a series of many. Do We Ever Really Get Out of Anarchy? by Alfred G. Cuzan

+rep for idiom's sig --- New Zealand sounds like a great place.

if this is true, I will consider getting a chromebook

just out of curiosity, How is Katherine Mangu-Ward, the editor in chief of Reason, a libertarian neo conservative?

surely they aren't getting rid of stand-alone windows? this DaaS would surely be a side-product for large organizations so that they can downsize their IT department and manage the computers more effectively? not a 100% full replacement stand-alone windows?

one of my core values is eating pizza

just cook with ghee its the best

youtube and facebook are private corporations and can ban/block/delete whoever they want.

Hey Zippyjuan, I would give you +rep but the forum software won't let me give you any more, it says "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Zippyjuan again."

I would support tariffs of some sort if and only if we get rid of the income tax. Now b/c of Trump we get the tariffs ONTOP of the income tax.

Gary Johnson is probably not running in 2020. I would vote for Bill Weld though.

:cry: still haven't been convinced.
