I would like to make something like a survey for all of you, regarding certain issues that we're not in complete agreement with. The idea is to make a short answer for each item (preferably, a 'yes' or 'no', as you agree or disagree). Here's my try:
Well, that's what I got so far.
That's mine. Can you explain the 'no' on the death penalty?
Abstract liberty, like other mere abstractions, is not to be found.

Market anarchist, Linux geek, aspiring Perl hacker, and student of the neo-Aristotelians, the classical individualist anarchists, and the Austrian school.
February 17 - 1600 - Giordano Bruno is burnt alive by the catholic church. Aquinas : "much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death."
FYI, I use N/A to specify areas where I do not feel qualified to say whether I agree with it fully or not. It would help if the list included definitions to base one's Yes or No on.

Okay, here's my list:
"The power of liberty going forward is in decentralization. Not in leaders, but in decentralized activism. In a market process." -- liberty student
I know that the idea of answering 'yes' or 'no' or something short is not the best (one can agree the ABCT explained by X, but not the Y interpretation, or one can favor corporations, but on certain industries/cases, etc), but the idea is to have an approach of the member's opinions, and not writing an article for each of the points (in fact, each point is and certainly was discussed in other threads).For "corporations" what I mean is if you like the corporation concept, as an independent entity and separated from its members.For 100% FRB I mean 100% fractional reserve backing (or full reserve banking, or whatever you want to call it), such as Rothbard, Block and Hoppe are for. I didn't ask for free-banking because I think everyone here is for free-banking.My death penalty answer is No, but is not definitive. Maybe I'm not for death penalty as a state-backed policy, but don't know how the free market would handle it.Let's continue! :P
ivanfoofoo:For 100% FRB I mean 100% fractional reserve backing (or full reserve banking, or whatever you want to call it), such as Rothbard, Block and Hoppe are for.
Okay, that was confusing because I thought it might mean, "all FRB, all the time." "100% fractional" seems a contradiction in terms. I'd suggest changing the OP to "100% reserve banking", or "FRB is fraud"
Heres my take

nice topic
do we get free cheezeburger in socielism?
"Anticapitalist theories share in common an inability to take human nature as it is. Rather than analyzing man as a complex creature, anticapitalist theories tend to focus on what the theorist wishes man to be." - Isaac Morehouse
Hopefully my non y/n answers aren't to annoying/unclear.

I inserted religion since others have done the same.
