This sounds interesting. But I'd like to point out, the original posters claim that killing is unnatural is very incorrect. Killing is very normal and very human, provided one is in a situation where killing is beneficial. Evolution has created us as killing machines, designed to kill when we can abscond with someone food, women etc. Killing is

I don't think multiple firms are neccesarily more benign than a large regionally dominant firm. One large firm can have a corporate charter than avoids conflict of interests. The firm could have branches of the company, mandated by the corporate charter, labeled the judiciary, executive, legislative. It could also have regional subsidiaries with

Along with Walter Block, I hold that inalieable rights can be traded away. Obviously you disagree with this. However it we allow inalieable rights to be traded away, then there is an obvious method to which the contract could be enforced.

Personally I wouldn't

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 A cult of rationality is pretty stupid. However I would love it if someone started a Church of Libertarianism. It could be like the UU church, allowing members to decide on their own whether they believe in God.

"I'd say from my experience athiests are even bigger zealots about not wanting anyone to believe in God" It's an interesting question, I think you may not realize how many atheists are out there because so many just keep it under wraps. I'd suspect if this could be studied, atheists would come out more tolerant than theists but

Haha, your mamma's an outlier.
