No, you guys equate a "free state" with Utopia, not me. We already live in a free society. You might "feel" oppressed and tyrannized living in the good ol' U.S. of A. in 2002, but that doesn't mean you are.

Show me where any of us have ever referred to a free society as a utopia. In fact, most conceptions of "utopia" (such as Moore's and Plato's) have been patently statist in nature, and certainly not libertarian.

Surely you don't believe that we enjoy as much freedom in this country now as we did two hundred years ago. If that were the case, this site certainly wouldn't exist. What exactly is the purpose oif this site, pray tell?

Would you make that comment to a black man, a property-less white man or a woman? 200 years ago, none of these people had the right to vote or participate in the political debate.
