My, you are impressed with the sound of empty rhetoric. Your own, - and Jonah's.

I made a valid critique. You didn't even attempt to refute. - Get lost.

I knew Tom Paine. Tom Paine was a friend of mine. And you, sir, are no Tom Paine. :)

Why is it that I'm always wanting to know how old people on this site are, particularly libertarians? I remember libertarianism being wildly attractive when I was eighteen-- now that I'm 42 and a mother of teenagers, it just isn't nearly so interesting. I was perfectly content to watch my friends collect Darwin awards, but somehow I'm less sanguine about the prospect of my children doing so. Ah, too soon old, too late smart.
