mutilated misquotes from Michael Hipp's 12 Nov 2004 classic prose may follow:
" R. Quenett wrote: " " > " And then there's the problem of where to place Libertarians on this " > " left-right model. " > " > Libertarians (upper case L) are compulsionists. " " You were doing good until that one. Of all the "recognized" parties in " the U.S., I would not categorize Libertarians as "your house - my " rules". They're closer to "your house - no rules". Q: What are the ingredients in a libertarian salad? A: Lettuce alone. But, somehow, 'your house - no rules' seems closer to anarchist than libertarian. " Please elaborate. Anyone who seeks to take over the 'Machinery of Government' (much of it of an explosive nature:) in order to impose their rules on others is a compulsionist. Libertarians seek to take over the MoG in order to impose their rules on others. Q. E. D. R -- http://www.quen.net "Gold needs no endorsement, it can be tested with scales and acids. The recipient of gold does not have to trust the government stamp upon it, if he does not trust the government that stamped it. No act of faith is called for when gold is used in payments, and no compulsion is required." -Benjamin M.
