Utter B.S.
You will never have the intellectually ability to understand what true Liberty provides a civilization.
exDem? You sound like a "stillDem" Go ahead a put your trust in State Power.
Remember, the most destructive of all institutions created by man is government.
I stand by my position that the FDA had caused many more deaths than they professed to have saved.
I will always side with Liberty against State power. It's sad that so many people are blinded by the trickery of government.
In other words, you cannot refute a single thing I said, nor can you provide any evidence to show that any of your assertions are correct. Thank you for conceding my point.
The particular naivety of libertarians is that they seem to have fundamental beliefs that no one would ever commit fraud and that "the market" is omnisciently aware of every bad product.
What an arrogant and stupid thing to say. What a pathetic assumption. Companies who commit fraud would be punished legally. I never said any of the bullc*ap you wrote. You made irrational assumptions based on your belief that I am some idealistic libertarian.
I am not. I am a Conservative who believes that government is a necessary evil, not a force for good.
What I said before, quoted here in blue, was referring to Milton Friedman. That should have been clear, since that particular post starts by quoting you talking about Milton Friedman. You sure jumped quickly to take it personally.
FYI, blanket anti-government views are Libertarian, not Conservative. Conservatives understand that government has certain functions, spelled out by the Constitution. I am a strong proponent of the constitutional functions of government.
BTW, who, in a government-free utopia, is going to punish people legally for fraud--since government runs the legal system? If "the market" is the only control for product safety, what's to prevent companies from simply repackaging and reselling their products?
I suggest you study the history of the FDA, and the horrors that happened before the FDA was instituted. The idea that companies would keep extensive records without the FDA requiring it is rather naive.
I also suggest you try using logic and facts instead of emotion. Emotion makes for a very weak argument. Furthermore, when you have to resort to insulting someone's intelligence in emotional tirades, it is a clear admission that you cannot support your opinion.
