This is good...anarchy leads to statism any way. I oppose statism
because it is idolatry and the root of most social evil.

the interests of monopoly capitalism so well?"
The Plutocracy will never give up their wealth and power unless we're
willing to give then an incentive to do so. "Monopoly capitalism" (a
poplar contradiction in terms) doesn't exist. Only the State can
maintain a monopoly and only if given the power to do so by an ignorant
and lazy People.

Statism is like cancer...it is difficult to stop and often ends in
death. Unfortunately, most advocate more statism as an antidote.

Robert Paul is my Christian appellation and I avoid the word Mr....it
has a negative history <smile>.
>"I remember very well how states, counties, and city municipalities
would gleefully violate the civil rights of Americans with impunity."
This is true...civil rights are easy to violate since they are mere
(state given) privileges. Un-alienable rights is stronger ground to
stand on, but against the almighty State no rights are possible.
>"It was only the power of the federal government that brought an end to
the Jim Crow era."
The Jim Crow era was a product of State statism and thanks to the
Federal "government" we have "affirmative action" (reverse
discrimination),"hate crimes" (thought crimes), the so called drug war
and the "War on Poverty" etc..

It's not a matter of belief, if one advocates freedom, one advocates
deregulation.
>"you're welcome to believe that, but I don't think that's likely."
Thanks and I think it's likely,,,if we get real deregulation...that
is...get the state out of Our business. Proper government acts, as a
policeman, to protect the Rights of all. Regulation exists, like a
storm-trooper, to control a right-less people.
