My college roomate was a guy with a great brain. At that time, mine was sharp also. I am a Catholic and he was an atheist. I am a liberal and he was a libertarian. Imagine the conversations......... It was a wonderful time, intellectually.

Now I find that while libertarianism is not unusual amongst naive but otherwise intelligent and free-thinking young people, it is rare among sane older folks. I have to agree with Randy. Anybody Pasty's age who still clings to this ideology.....cannot hide behind the excuse of naivete'.

Here's an example. Doctor-patient confidentiality. When we're concerned about our drug or alcohol use, we might talk to our doctor, knowing the information will not leave the room. Health care in this country would suffer if doctors were not deadly serious about this responsibility. In Pasties' world, data services and other commercial concerns could buy this information. The remedy would be to sue. yeah, right.

Pastie is comfortable placing all our government's responsibilities into the hands of the.........LEGAL COMMUNITY. Anybody see a down side to that?

The above is complete bunk, but expected of a statist. Painting libertarians as naive, childish, and everything else is typical of them, and a lie everytime.

But that's not the worst part. The worst part (and I think Randy and I can agree on this as well) is that Patsie's agenda is treachery. He seems to be actively trying to undermine the government of the United States of America.

I've got a real problem with that. I'm a liberal (because I think it's all about people, not money, I guess) and I'l be damned if I'm going to sit still while some schitzo attempts to incite the destruction of my nation's government. I've got a big problem with that.

Of course you agree with Randy, all statist's love force, and using guns to enforce the will of the socialist elite's, something the Soviet did with reletive impunity (see the mass starvation in Ukraine for an example), something that superman would love to do here, given a chance.

So, it should not be a surprise that Supe would fully support Randy's bloodlust, it's endemic to the liberal (aka sociofascist) philosophy, and always has been.
