Rothbard, Thomas Sowell, Mark Thornton, Richard Timberlake, Walter Williams, Ron Paul (R-Texas), Lao-tzu, John Locke, Algernon Sidney, Adam Smith, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Otis, Thomas Paine, George Mason, John Stuart Mill, Richard Cobden, John Bright, Frederic Bastiat, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner, Herbert Spencer, Franz Oppenheimer, Albert Jay Nock, H.L.

LMAO...I got it before. It was a joke. This post is an illustration of how annoyingly condescending libertarians can be. Thanks.

Must be new around here - welcome! :-)

I appreciate your well thought out defense of Liberty and the underlying principles involved. However, debating with most of the drug warriors who show up on these threads ends up being rather "cost inefficient". In fact they don't debate at all, but rather prefer to tackle "the straw" and call those of us who stand up for principles of freedom "dopers". Have fun making fools of them, but you too, will soon tire.

God Bless,

John Locke

"Whosoever, therefore, out of a state of Nature unite into a community, must be understood to give up all the power necessary to the ends for which they unite into society to the majority of the community, unless they expressly agreed in any number greater than the majority. And this is done by barely agreeing to unite into one political society, which is all the compact that is, or needs be, between the individuals that enter into or make up a commonwealth. And thus, that which begins and actually constitutes any political society is nothing but the consent of any number of freemen capable of majority, to unite and incorporate into such a society. And this is that, and that only, which did or could give beginning to any lawful government in the world." -- John Locke
