But I suppose a libertarian could be forgiven for confusing the Founding Fathers with Mussolini!

ROFL!
Nice try...Your quote was not from a founder, it was from Benito Mussolini. Your founder prayer quotes are taken out of context. Political speeches made to groups of supporters are not evidence of anything. I could post founder quotes that flame Christianity, but I choose not to decieve.

1. I never quoted Mussolini, that was your inference. I merely posited two solutions to dealing with externalities: regulation or litigation. I think they are both legitimate ways to handle externalities. Your way to handle externalities is to pretend that they don't exist. 2. Those aren't prayer quotes, they are statements about the importance of morals. But go ahead and present the true picture of the founding fathers.
