Eric,
Your greatest-threat view has no basis. Therefore all your
related posts consist of fear embellishment and enemy creation.
Of course then, there are your posts which essentially consist of
selling govt protection. Wow what a coincidence. You post that
you think drug prohibition is wrong and support drug
legalization, but you provide no details - and you minimize its
harm, forgive its agents and blame its victims. In fact, you
admit you've never thought about force and consent. Therefore,
what would be your anti-prohibition basis? Without knowledge of
force and consent, you can not comprehend the most basic
libertarian fundamentals like individual liberty, civil rights,
govt oppression, etc.
What's the solution? Are you kidding? You haven't even thought
about force and consent yet (assimilated the simplest core
principles). The message in your posts conveys little-to-no
libertarianism. Answer: Look in the mirror and call your last 22
years of devotion "wasted", and a) QUIT; b) START OVER.
Your admitted ignorance kind of explains why your posts usually
sound more like "big-governmentism" than libertarianism. But they
actually sound like something more overt, intentional, and
strategic than simply ignorant; like
"paid-for-by-big-governmentism".

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

Paul, we're never going to solve this. We are going to keep
going
round and round and round and round. You and others here see the
federal government, particularly the government headed by Bush as
the
greatest threat to American freedoms, I and others here view
Islamo-
fascism as the greatest threat to our freedoms.
My side, at least speaking for myself, is never going to give up
the
term libertarian to your side. I will never surrender it,
especially considering that I've devoted 22 years of my life now
to
builing this libertarian movement.
You will literally have to kill me first, to get me to surrender
the
term libertarian.
So, what's the solution here?
There's NO shame whatsoever, in you and others like you calling
your philosophy Anarchist. Why do you resist this? It's truth
in
labeling. Why are you so against coming out four square and
announcing to the world what you're philosophy is?
We clearly cannot continue being in the same political movement.
And as witnessed by my side crushing yours at the very latest
Libertarian Party of California Convention, it's you that has to
rethink your position and future.
