right, because the government should bend over back wards for you. you are so special that you matter more than the rest of the nation. you want to take away the same rights you rail against losing. you want to take away a group of individuals right to decide what it is they want. despite what people believe they still vote as individuals. deny them the right to choose and I don't see how you are any better.
individual decides he wants to live in a cage. you are all for it. group of individuals decide to live in a cage and what color it is. sharing the cage you complain about the color.
forget society, why does your preference rule over mine?
DTH is an anarchist. He believes in zero government.
I believe in the individual. If people want to form a government of some kind, and I can voluntarily opt out, without consequences, so be it.
The true measure of your freedom is the ability to opt out of something without consequence.
So if we come up with this government and we have a road that comes by your house, you can't use it? How are you going to get from point a to point b? Are you going to have to cross other private property? Are you going to have to negotiate with each private property owner?
Wed work out something. Its a true testament to your state worship that you actually think the government owns everything, including the roads.
How about the: drug dealers are treated as all other community businessmen campaign?
I do think I'm fair. But I don't base my actions on what I think is "good", I base them on the laws in force, the information or evidence at hand, the oath I took, and my best judgment as to what the right course of action is. I don't get it right all the time, but I have a pretty solid batting average.
Some people blame the cop when their real beef is with the laws.
Whatever, wherever, laws are laws. If you don't like them get them changed. How many of you cop haters have actually worked to get the laws you despise changed. If you haven't, you don't have the right to complain.
You answered your first question with your second answer. Just because your morality says it's wrong doesn't mean it's wrong. You're applying your morality to the laws. If I said I thought murder was ok and should not be prosecuted, I'm sure you would not be ok with murder being legal. I'm a libertarian as well. I believe similar to you about freedom.
No, you total missed what he said. He clearly stated anything that doesn't affect anyone else. Ckearly, murder doesn't fall in that category.
