"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
No Loopholes in Libertarianism
Submitted by mhstahl on Fri, 2012-08-10 23:00
"I try to find the instance where it really is necessary or ethical to be the first to throw a punch; to “initiate force” in the parlance of libertarians. I look for those cases where taking property from its rightful owners for “the common good” really is the right thing to do. I look for examples where a problem was honestly solved by using the coercive force of The State."
