I see Argumentum Ad Populum... again.

I must admit, that some times I wait to long, always giving the benefit of the doubt. But looking over the thread, I have to now concede that you are extremely anti-libertarian. No libertarian would write what you write. Your claiming to be a libertarian is fraudulent. Thus you are a fraud.

I quite recently found a lesson for you while lurking around the internet. You may do well to consider it.

...absolute faith in one's own virtue is not a commitment to virtuous behavior but a commitment to one's own will.

Of course there is nothing wrong with a commitment to ones own will. But it is quite delusional to have "absolute faith in one's own virtue."

" -- absolute faith in one's own virtue is not a commitment to virtuous behavior but a commitment to one's own will. ."

Fanatics about "virtue" are found at every political level,left/right/center.

Fanaticism itself is the real evil, imo. -- Being overzealous for most ANY cause can lead to disaster.
