-Caveat Lector-
Since you quote Bastiat, von Mises, Jefferson, Lysander Spooner, Thomas
Sowell with frequency, the connection with libertarianism is rather
obvious, isn't it?
Are you going to tell me that your values and philosophy are NOT shaped by
libertarian thought?
Ad hominem? On the contrary, I have the utmost respect for your
erudition. However, I do question just exactly how tolerant you are of
individuals who do not share your philosophical perspective. Examine your
statement below: because I disagree with you, I am characterized by you as
being afraid of "liberty, freedom and equality." But you also go further:
presumably, by way of your own ad hominem attack on me, I am now
classified as an individual who wants to "rape," "enslave," and benefit
from "theft." A rather strong ad hominem attack on me!!!!

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
