It's amazing how conservative one can get when one realizes what one has
to
lose. :-)

That's probably the basis for our disagreements: I want to win, you
want to not lose.

You're so wrong. I want everybody to win. I want everybody to have the
same freedoma and the same right to pursue their goals, unimpeded by
government and oppressive regulation and taxes.

I want people to understand that the use of force is only appropriate in
response to force, and that no matter what the cause and how noble it may
sound, if it requires forced participation it is still theft.


Try thinking beyond the horizon sometime.

I do, it's the only thing that makes sense.

Rational men see their interests in terms of a lifetime and set their goals
accordingly. They needn't be omniscient, or infallible, they just don't
succumb to the whim of the moment. He realizes that moments are connected
and not cut off from the rest of reality. Most importantly, rational men
take responsibility for their own actions and realize they may not always
win. but never try to shift the blame.
