Matter of opinion. I have another Libertarian calling me a dictator-type because I support Rudy's actions.

I called you a "dictator-type" because of your ridiculous comment about "Freedom for the majority". I am not in your discussion of Rudy.

My statement about freedom means that, in certain cases, if you grant certain freedoms to the few deviants in a society that you subsequently reduce freedom for all others in society who choose to live within the law. If you allow, or even encourage, pan-handling for example (a non-violent activity), then the hundreds of people who are harrassed by each panhandler have lost a degree of freedom that also translates into more tangable concepts such as lost property values, lost tax base, etc. Why is that "ridiculous" - or are you the type of Libertarian who likes to parade personal insults as a reason to support your philosophy (ie if you don't agree with me then you are ______)?
