    They would simply raise the budget, print more money, then tax everyone more....where have I heard that before?

    If the end justifies the means, I surmise that you would support a draft for both men and women between the ages of 18-30 and send them off to fight in the hopes of ending war.

    Wait, you are saying because I want to restrict government, means I want to force kids to go to war?

    Do you even read what you write? o.O

    I dunno, who else is running around talking about chaining down government under more and more stringent control?

    If you agree that the end justies the means then sure, send everyone off to war to end it a draft might wake people up. Who cares how to stop it, just stop it. In my view, government purchasing made in the USA perpetuates the very exisitance of the government.

    If the end is to eliminate government, why would you hope that they purchase made in the USA products? It perpetuates the very exisitance of the government you wish to eliminate. Through nepotism and coporate selection on who/which companies get to provide for it.

    OK, let's break down this logic.

    "I want government to be subject to arbitrary and intense restriction by the people at large"

    "OH!!!111! So you want to enslave children and send them off to die in a war!!!111!!"

    most people that use such logic I call liberals, democrats, republicans, or neoconservatives.

    You do know that illogical appeals to emotion are not only fallacious, but are the very weapon the left and the right use to stifle liberty.

    Do you really want to be allied with such monsters?

    The more I read the thread the more I think this idea is a bad one.
    "We do have some differences and our approaches will be different, but that makes him his own person. I mean why should he [Rand] be a clone and do everything and think just exactly as I have. I think it's an opportunity to be independent minded. We are about 99% [the same on issues]." Ron Paul

    Makes sense to me
    The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
