I really don't understand your reasoning. If person A agrees with somethings that person B says, and person B supports policy X which person A totally disagrees with, then person A implicitly supports and agrees with policy X, and presumably everything person B says? And they say my debating skills are poor.. lol!! 174 posted on 2/1/02 12:40 PM Pacific by Exnihilo

Your support for Person B is grounded upon your mutual agreement that the State should have the Powers it requires for Policy X. You may personally oppose Policy X, but that is only because you want the Power for your own objectives... not because you really disagree with Person B on State having the Power in the first place. On the point of State having the Power you both require for your own objectives, you and the Communists you find so "illuminating" are bosom buddies.

Wrong. The state should have the powers it requires for some policies, sure. I support drug prohibition, for instance. I believe that drug traffickers should be executed, if convicted in a court of law. I don't pretend to hide this fact. There are some powers the state should not have. Taking my money in the form of taxes to give to someone else is a power the state should not have, for instance. It is true, I am fundamentally in opposition to Libertarianism. So what? Call me names! Oh no! Tell me how dumb I am, or how I'm a "commie"! oh no!
