I am now an 18...


16-30 points: You are a soft-core libertarian. With effort, you may harden and become pure.

What was your result in the other political test thread?

Author and historian Kevin Gutzman randomly "liked" my facebook comment today. Haha. I was like, "Whoa, I've read two of his books!"

Accessibility is one of the nice aspects to being part of a smaller political movement.

Thats awesome.

And it runs off certain household trash too. Perfect world.

I'm sorry but it is just against my nature to agree with anything in this (or most other) thread!

You can't agree with freedom? That's the basis for everything in this thread.

Whose freedom?

Whose freedom?

Americans' freedom

This is pretty good. The premise is an alien makes contact to see earth's progress, and he has to have the concept of government explained to him.

Hilarious.

Americans' freedom

Everyone or just the ones we agree with?

If everyone enjoys pure freedom, it doesn't matter who disagrees with me.

Ok, I can go with that but it becomes tricky when people try to exercise pure freedom, willing to try though.

I pray for a country of libertarianism and prepare for anarchy.

^Good stuff from 'The Judge'

He addresses the problem most of us are having.:

Vote Romney: to keep BO out
Vote Johnson: to bolster numbers for a third party
Vote Ron Paul: to actually vote for good, positive qualities and a candidate you believe in; not voting againt negative or a bad candidate you dont.

1) You can send courier mail through FedEx? Technically you can, but nobody does it (unless it's over night) because the law forbids FedEx from charging less than $1.50 (or so) for delivery, in order to eliminate competition.

2) Those two sentences are mutually exclusive, IMO.

3) You think a provider of public goods cannot be monopolistic? Why?

The USPS is not a monopoly, however, much like China, without government subsidies (i.e. unfair trade practices), the USPS would soon be out of business.....like next year.

Economist speculates about the growth that would occur if there were open borders around the world.

Imagine There Are No Countries

What? It's like the epitome of a monopoly.
