Or to put it this way, I may not agree with the government throwing out checksto any "Katrina Victim", but I will of my own accord give aid when an oppurtunity comes. Do you exclude both?
On another note - http://www.nationstates.net/
I'd be realy interested in seeing your nation develop, doesn't take much time, jsut read an issue, and make a decision(or non decision). If you give it a host, give me your nation's name.
I have two non serious nations which do not reflect totaly how I would run a government. Cannine Patrol, and The Three Points. As I pikced up a few things about game mechanics, I'm trying to undue some things in time. The Three Points should NOT be funding religion.

There's nothing in the libertarian philosophy that precludes giving what ever you want to give to another person or entity as long as the gift is mutually agreed upon by both you and the recipient. That means that you can give me your rifle, if I like it; but you can't involuntarily give me your old mattresses and other refuse; nor can you give involuntarily to the public throughfare, i.e. you can't litter.
