Who put the burr under your saddle? I merely point out that Washington had deficiencies as both general and president, and you erupt into a fountain of dudgeon. I'll bet you bought that story about the cherry tree, too ;-) You've leapt from honest and sincere questioning of *state* mythos to linking Rothbard with your ridiculous "All adult straight Caucasian/European men are bad" idea of "Libertarian Extremism". And this despite the fact that I pointed out that Rothbard offers effusive praise for many of the revolutionaries (and I doubt ALL of them were gay:) Why are you so obsessed with Rothbard, Bruce? He was just a guy. He had a lot of good things to say. He said some silly things. He was, in short, human - neither demon nor god. *As was Washington*. You need to get over the twin fallacies of hero-worship and demonization of historical figures. Well, except for Alexander Hamilton. He really *was* a demon ;-) -- Susan Hogarth http://www.colliething.com
