....that this attempt to quantify liberty is by... “a LIBERTARIAN think tank”

And...?

[Aroostook25]

Libertarian think tank? Yes. See the report where they cite one of their favorite books
Anarchy, State, and Utopia by Robert Nozick

Wellllll,,,,,
Libertarians
are not
liberians,
not lesbians,
not lactose interants,
in point of fact they are
libertarians
they propose that legalising freedom might actually work.
They accept the Scriptures to my knowledge, which is of course intolerable to “freedom lovers” today .
And they seem to to think that beyond that abusers of liberty,freedom will fail in a free society.
I can’t say if it will work,
I don’t think that it has ever been triedin fact.
MY freekin point was the poster posted a constuct of the opinion of libertarians and felt OBLIGATED to postscipt a caveat that they might actually believe what they profess to believe in.
IT WAS just NUTS.
