I'm a libertarian.
Ownership and property rights are so important. The recent starvation in Zimbabwe when as Rhodesia they exported food shows the importance of property. Who invests in seed, irrigates, weeds and tends a crop if they do not know they will be the one to harvest.
Who would invest in Haiti? And why not? Your investment is at risk. In Zimbabwe 40% of their fields lie fallow... people starve and their dictator sends food aid to his army.
Where I differ with today's conservatives is this. If you do not own your body, you are not free.
Once kids sat on the riverbank smoking pot. Now they use meth. Why is that? If pot were legal or had minimum punishment like booze, pot would not have entered the hands of the black market. Black markets figure out ways to make their products more potent, smaller, and easier to make... ergo meth.
Got to get to work... Thanks for posting the above.
I have had a short email exchange with these people and the radar is going nuts. It's like they don't read anything I send. I keep getting the same mantra back in a zombie like fashion.
I suggest they not be taken seriously until they reveal who they are and what their history is.
