 of course its rubbish. thank you. then if you are dealing with a
cheat and a liar, you are free to be fleeced, or is there a way to get
recourse once you discover you have been cheated?

 of course that is what is really meant by free markets, free to be
fleeced, lied to, and cheated.

 ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everywhere
libertarianism is even partially tried, unemployment sky rockets,
indebtedness soars, the wealth gap explodes, economic debacles are
everywhere. and at the same time jails bulge with the losers, and a
police state rises. see thatchers u.k., pinochets chile, the u.s.a.
the last 30 years. on top of that, the free market, self reliant, self
responsible, rugged individual, born with a silver spoon in their
mouths as they pull themselves up by their own bootstraps with tax
payer dollars warriors come with their hands out for a bailout every
time. see 1929, 1987, 1998 or9, 2001, 2007-08, and counting.


 it is socialists, like you, who
> want a strong government.

 you mean the founding fathers, and the amendments that were made to
the constitution in the early years of america. the amendments were
made close to the period of the founding of this country. libertarians
are handmaidens to the fascists. fascism is simply libertarians in
decay.

 in fact it is socialism that requires a

 you do not even understand what you are talking about.
 what is the definition of a crank? one who gives out advise that
makes no sense at all.

 our jails and mental institutions are full of people who will agree

 its not your money. its the governments money. you get to use it on
their conditions.

 socialists (like you)

definition of a cult:Confusing Doctrine Encouraging blind acceptance
and rejection of logic through complex lectures on an incomprehensible
doctrine, Chanting and Singing Eliminating non-cult ideas through
group repetition of mind-narrowing chants or phrases
