Here are a couple spectrums based on the statist vs antistatist princip:

Market anarchists on the far-right vs liberventionists/'statist' libertarians (Randians, for instance) on the far left.

Radical localists in the middle-right vs classical liberals in the middle left

Of course, you can offer your own spectrum and debate and defend it so that I can understand your world view a little bit better.

And it's hardly baiting to call someone a left libertarian-- left is not a bad word; I feel more at home with your consistencey than a someone claiming to be a 'pro-life, pro-war libertarian'-- I just find too many contradictions in his point of view to think him trustworthy. I mean that.


"People who argue that from the moment of conception, a pregant woman loses her liberty, -- are not being rational, imo. "

That is fine, I don't even disagree with you; I argued earlier that there was no 'right to life'.

I don't care what non-Christians do to their babies. I have had trouble with people who refuse to call the destruction of a unique combination of DNA anything short of murder, however. It's hard for me to think they are being rational.

In addition, any women who contracts to murder her own baby is a threat to my liberties in a democracy. 20,000,000 baby killers, as we have seen, tend to love big socialist government.



As I stated in my first couple posts, that these conversations tend to get nasty unless one pictures themself on a bar stool having a drink and smoke tobacco, talking passionately.

Your refusal to seek out political compromise and yet your continued posts to me, seems rather odd, but whatever.

You write of contradictions, yet you can't see the irrationality in these contradictory commemts:


"I argued earlier that there was no 'right to life'."

"-- any women who contracts to murder her own baby is a threat to my liberties in a democracy."

"I don't care what non-Christians do to their babies."


But whatever..
My 'continued' posts to you were to counter your rather odd unsolicited comments I saw this morning. -- Obviously, this too is beyond your understanding.

-- So take the last word, and end this futile exchange.
