I guess it was naieve of me to think everything was that simple.
Can't I just keep a stockade of rifles and never take them out of the house?
Losing life, property, jobs etc
Cost is often never considered by laypeople.
Whats the cost of NOT doing something, as opposed TO doing something?
University costs lots of money...but what is the cost of NOT going to university? Would you be better of going rather than NOT going?
Apply that thinking to the wetlands...if i buy it and ruin it...how much will i get sued by the community when a hurricane arrives?
Id be better not using it.
Its counter intuitive in many ways, since people assume that the way to fix something normally involves giving govt the power to control income or ownership and getting them to tweak the details.
However this nearly always creates the opposite effect.
Minimum wage makes people poorer through inflation, govt control of land kills the environment, socialised medicine creates enormous queues and increases costs.
Im not blaming the govt, its simpy ignorance of econ.
I study economics at uni, ive read politics, philosophy and econ for years and i really do have a good understanding of the issues.
If you feel that im so incorrect then dont hide behind the comment ratings, just speak up and discuss the issues.
Im sure i could easily knock up some videos explaining the models and reasons so you can see visually why such policies are harmful.
Ignorance wont get you anywhere
You are referring to anarcho-libertarianism in which there is not even a govt or law court and people solve disputes with the second amendment.
There is absolutely no taxes in this system, but its not a popular ideology since it pretty much ends civilisation lol
[resp. to bc9021010011:
"Neo-Con Republican = no Social Security, no labor unions, no minimum wage, no worker safety regulations, no universal health care, no environmental protection, no regulation of corporations, no civil rights protections, no antitrust laws.
Libertarian = same as above, but you can get high and fuck whatever you want."]
And what do you mean no civil rights protection? Libertarians believe that stuff, they also believe that peace is the best way to go unlike neo-cons.
I was quite shocked how out of touch and misinformed people really are about it all. I guess my education has shown me so clearly how things work that it just suprises me to see people completely getting things so backwards and 'certain'.

Peace!
The American Library Association continues to play a major role in libraries to this day!
The "Librariens" often employed translators and copyists in large numbers, in order to render into Arabic the bulk of the available Persian, Greek, Roman and Sanskrit non-fiction and the classics of literature.Many of these libraries were destroyed by Mongol invasions.Libraries of Chinguetti in West Africa, remain intact and relatively unchanged even today.
But Why don´t mr Gillette mention it?I just wonder?
That everyone should help one and another is a cornerstone in any society.
But I often get the feeling that libertarians are just one step away from being anarchists.
But that probably just media messing with my head :/
