this imposes enormous external costs

Kevin, I am starting to believe that everything imposes external costs. Where do you draw the line? I'm in a very restrictive HOA and think that much of what they are against makes sense for the point of preserving property values and keeping the place looking nice. But some of their rules are just ridiculous. (Like someone having the flag up permanently is going to harm property values?)

FWIW, I am more open to local standards because I am more likely to have an impact on something I don't like. When things are federal, or even at the state level, one voice is nothing.

#208 shows why you cannot find the line.

Why do you even bother with Kevin Curry? You can fool some of the people some of the time, but Kevin is a fool all of the time. How can you possibly take a man seriously who claims this:

Libertarians are hell-bent on giving this nation over to a suffocating nanny state.

He is the leading promotor of the nanny-state philosophy, yet claims people who adhere to a limited government philosophy will create an even greater nanny state.

That makes about as much sense as claiming that sexual abstinence increases pregnancy rates.
