"There's no competition in the arena of protection services."
Apparently you've never heard of Blackwater, or "Xe."
Libertarians have some colossally stupid ideas but this one might actually take the cake; private "police" forces or armies. "Cuz the market will make it all better."
You guys are goosestepping towards fascism with a blindfold on.
The Bush/Obama administration (which is really a single entity- only differing in skin tone) this month let Blackwater get away with the murder of 17 people in Nissor square, Baghdad, Iraq.
The mercenaries weren't saved by limited liability, they were bailed out by corrupt and cynical criminals who have turned gvmnt into a wholly owned corporate subsidiary.
The market is the cause of the problem. Not the solution.
"The Bush/Obama administration ... let Blackwater get away..."
"they were bailed out by ... gvmnt"
Again, you make my point for me. Without the limited liability that government enjoys, whether you like it or not, they would be liable for their actions.
You continue to make a fool of yourself asserting that government action is somehow a "free market". It's clear that you have no idea what a free market actually is. Obviously a public school graduate, well indoctrinated.
"asserting that gvmnt action is somehow a free market."
I never asserted that. There is no such thing as the free market. I would agree that there is such a thing as The Market. But, as I have said repeatedly, it is certainly not "free" and a more accurate word for it would be "plunder."
The "free" market is a fantasy that many influential people deluded themselves into believing actually existed- Alan Greenspan and Milton Freidman to name two (who worshiped laissez faire capitalism)
This is sheer nonsense... Any price fixing mechanisms, including the setting of interest rates (which is exactly what the Federal Reserve does) are all 100% incompatible with laissez faire capitalism. The market sets the interest rates in laissez faire capitalism, not some appointed bureaucrat, and here you are asserting that such a beauracrat, Alan Greenspan, *worshiped* laissez faire capitalism?
Greenspan was a disciple of Ayn Rand and is a self proclaimed libertarian.
4 presidents from the Business Party (split into two factions known as democrats and republicans) appointed Greenspan as chairman of the fed because many of his libertarian ideals appeal to the Business Party- deregulation, privatization (of everything), union busting, the elimination of the welfare state (for people but not business, of course), "free" trade, ect ect.
Greenspan turned his back on Austrian economics early on in his career. You will be hard pressed to find either a Libertarian or an Objectivist with anything positive to say about him. History shall judge him by his deeds. He supports government power to seize financial instutions, wall street bailouts, and all kinds of market disrupting activities.
You don't "worship" lassaiz-faire capitalism by betraying it's principles. Now he's just a failed Keynesian trying to save a failed legacy.
Greenspan the lifelong libertarian "oracle" of economics and self proclaimed acolyte of Ayn Rand himself said in his 2007 memoir "The Age of Turbulence" that;
"I find the philosophy of the unfettered market compelling."
"in 1968 I decided to engage in efforts to advance free market capitalism as a (political) insider."
"compromise on public issues is the price of civilization, not an abrogation of principle."
An intelligent person would look at what he did, not just what he said. Don't be intentionally obtuse.
The organization he runs, in itself, is the biggest market distortion in the history of markets. He literally prints up money out of thin air, loans it to the banks at 0.25% or less, which they then use to scam us at 6% or more.
He intentionally kept interest rates artificially low in the early 2000s, which directly caused the malinvestment and over borrowing that followed.
"an intelligent person would look at what he did."
Too true! You should listen to your own advice.
Since he never did turn his back on fundamental libertarian values like promoting privatization (of everything), eliminating the welfare state (for people, not business), deregulation, reduction of taxes (for business, not people), free trade, and other cornerstones of laissez faire economic philosophy it's fair to say he was being truthful about adhering to the libertarianism as Fed chairman.
If he was promoting privatization, he would have ended the federal reserve itself, not continued to give special privileges to banks. He would not have manipulated the money supply and the credit markets, which is what led directly to the crisis. If he believed in freedom, he would eliminate the welfare state for businesses too, not support bailing them out.
He wasn't pro free trade at all -- he was pro central economic control -- he was the main one doing it!
> he never did turn his back on fundamental libertarian values
Fc, every action he took on the public payroll violated "fundamental libertarian values".
So either you're deliberately ignorant of what those values are, or you're trying to assert Greenspan's manipulation of the money supply is a "fundamental libertarian value" which is false on its face.
The Libertarian position is no Fed at all. Period. No manipulation of the money supply. He did, therefore he's no libertarian.
Your scholarship is also lacking. Greenspan is answered well already, Friedman was a "monetarist" who never actually trusted the market with money. That's why he was allowed to be a "prominent" figure, while Rothbard and Mises were deliberately shut out.
The market is not plunder, because it is voluntary. That is why government is not a "market" force, it is coercion.
I don't need to Curt, because I know what I wrote. Nowhere did I write that "gvmnt action is somehow a free market" as you have attributed to me.

As far as Greenspan goes- you can reject him for his lack of purity all you want, as he said he had to make compromises, but he never abrogated his core libertarian principles while he was a political insider advancing the free market.
Please enlighten me Curt. Where did I say that "gvmnt action is somehow a free market"?
If I did indeed say that (which I didn't), but for the sake of argument, if I did say it and you can tell me where I said that I will gladly admit I was wrong.
I disagree only that private security agents out number police by several times. But what we call private security are nothing more than guards, since the government has reserved to itself and its agents the combination of "police powers" and limited liability.
It is that combination of more-than-normal-people power with immunity for the results of their actions that makes for the moral corruption we see in police everywhere, every day.
Police operate under what is known as "limited liability". While on duty (and many times off) any actions that can be defined (no matter how broadly) as "in the line of duty" are immune from any prosecution.
So the idiot cop who deliberately got bumped gets to claim anything they want, and unless or until they are PROVEN wrong to the POLICE DEPT satisfaction, they can get away with murder if they want.
Power corrupts. The power to be an asshole and get away with it is very corrupting.

There is more money to be gained from a speeding ticket - I doubt very highly the highlight of those cop's shift, was having to deal with a bunch of people who can't even say their name, and then have to deal with typing it all up for a couple hundred dollar fine. If they were simply reasonable things would likely have gone alot smoother for all concerned. Change the law....when will you all get this concept?
i agree... many states have statutes that a certian amount of pot is just a ticket ...other states a joint or a pound doesnt matter.....and its a money making proposition for them..I do not smoke anything...never have..its not my thing...it does seem to me that legalization makes sense.. requiring some sort of tax if folks want to partake would be a better course to follow.....i also think that drinking and smoking dope should be something done in private not public..as a common courtesy .
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think the majority of people agree with you - where I as well agree it should be legal. So instead of acting like children and baiting cops to show up to simply do their job - a more concentrated effort to repeal the law would be best served for everyone. However - these guys don't want to do that - they are addicted to misery - that is their real drug. In previous vids when a cop drives by and pays no attention - they wave their arms around and beg them to turn around and cry foul later.
its funny, with all that is wrong in our country that the issue of pot is about the only thing people under 30 have any unity over....they are unaware of the real issues confronting their future...
i usually dont watch vids on this topic but it was favorited by someone im friends with....so im unfamiliar with other vids...taunting cops is not smart...i did mmpi2's on cops...youd be scared out of our mind if you knew what their profiles suggest.
Well I guess every occupation has it's share of inflated ego - no doubt there are a few dumb cops out there for sure. The MMPI though? "You loved your father?"....."You have black tarry bowel movements?"....I remember those questions...lol.
what shocked me was my first day on the job i was asked to determine which of two test were taken by a policeman and which was taken by a serial rapist....there was no difference between their test results...that sort of creeped me out...and make me the post polite guy who ever got a speeding ticket...
The system counts on pot smokers just accepting what happens. If every smoker who was arrested fought it weed would be legal in a year cuz all the cities would go broke just going through the process that many times.
Advertising the committing of a crime, doing one's best to get police attention...then being deliberately uncooperative - rude - and (at times) aggressive will get you arrested - when will you get that concept? As it stands....your idea of a great concept isn't working too well is it?
@hibraisil Well lets see.....marijuana is still illegal is it not? Which, by the way, is something that I think should be legal. But barring my opinion - it istill remains illegal, and a review of these little protests in NH have done nothing except give these people a teeny tiny record and 5 minutes of martyrdom fame. Enlighten me if I am wrong.
Okay. You're wrong. These "little protests" are part of a bigger movement. More states are legalizing Med MJ, more states are decriminalizing MJ and as of right now 4 have legalization bills in the legislature, including NH.
It looks to me like all of this marijuana civil disobedience is just empowering the DEA, cops, etc.. It gives them something to do to justify their salaries and they get to push people around.
I've never said all laws were GREAT - but it isn't a cops job or place to decide what gets enforced and what doesn't (excluding civil violations such as speeding etc.) Jerking off on your front lawn doesn't hurt anyone, but I would imagine you would agree that such a person should get a spanking....don't you?
Actually cops CAN make the decision to arrest someone or just ticket them in alot of cases. And jacking off on your front lawn DOES hurt people (kids).
Oh right - and doing drugs in public parks doesn't hurt kids.....doesn't make them interested at all. I am sure you have no problem with how the 4:20 events in Keene turned out...with grown ass men handing joints to 10th graders....all on tape....know every one of them. BRILLIANT.
Publicly whackin'-it is bad, but public drug use is good?
I'm not really a big fan of public displays of either type. I mean, I'm not against upholding some basic standards of decency.
But I think what you do in the privacy of your own home (whether you're smokin' up or whackin'-it, or both at the same time) should not concern the gvmnt.
I don't think libertarians will succeed on the drug issue by pushing it in people's faces in public.
Ok then if theres a law i dont like i can just leave the country right? What if the law is in EVERY country? Dont i have the right to live on a peice of land that is not owned by anyone nor has any laws Period?
SILENCE! Silent Nation did not give you permission to type. Sorry the whole jerking off thing hit you so close to home....now go get a kleenex and blow your nose - remember big boys don't cry. And NO SHIT GENIUS....that was the whole point to my comment...DUH.
whats wrong with them? weed is like the most harmless drugs of all.

This country is getting more disgusting every day. A grown man arrest people for no good reason. This is so childish that someone in NH should call CPS on the officer and put him in Juvie.
The video isn't high quality but to me it doesn't look like he bumped into him. It even seems like he was sidestepping to avoid bumping into him as well.
Nazi cops want a police state. In every state in the U.S., nazi cops gather to try and prevent the rest of us from having the freedom to do what our forefathers did in peace. Nazi cops show up at hearings for medical marijuana, bringing with them false accusations and spreading lies and fear. It's what they do. It's their cash cow. They want you to live in fear, so they can continue to thrive on slavery.
FIGHT BACK and we WILL gain freedom again one day!!!

Which is false. That is EXACTLY what protects them when employed as agents of government.
Police do not kidnap, they detain.

Blackwater or the army do not murder, they "enforce".

Now tell me, how's that working for you? As far as I can tell, the depredations of government make mere private crime pale to insignificance.
Eliminate limited liability. That would be a great start.

Neither has "government oversight".

I disagree only that private security agents out number police by several times. But what we call private security are nothing more than guards, since the government has reserved to itself and its agents the combination of "police powers" and limited liability.
It is that combination of more-than-normal-people power with immunity for the results of their actions that makes for the moral corruption we see in police everywhere, every day.
"Absolute power" and all that.
CurtHowland 2 years ago
Police operate under what is known as "limited liability". While on duty (and many times off) any actions that can be defined (no matter how broadly) as "in the line of duty" are immune from any prosecution.
So the idiot cop who deliberately got bumped gets to claim anything they want, and unless or until they are PROVEN wrong to the POLICE DEPT satisfaction, they can get away with murder if they want.
Power corrupts. The power to be an asshole and get away with it is very corrupting.

There is more money to be gained from a speeding ticket - I doubt very highly the highlight of those cop's shift, was having to deal with a bunch of people who can't even say their name, and then have to deal with typing it all up for a couple hundred dollar fine. If they were simply reasonable things would likely have gone alot smoother for all concerned. Change the law....when will you all get this concept?
SSILENTNATION 2 years ago
i agree... many states have statutes that a certian amount of pot is just a ticket ...other states a joint or a pound doesnt matter.....and its a money making proposition for them..I do not smoke anything...never have..its not my thing...it does seem to me that legalization makes sense.. requiring some sort of tax if folks want to partake would be a better course to follow.....i also think that drinking and smoking dope should be something done in private not public..as a common courtesy .

I think the majority of people agree with you - where I as well agree it should be legal. So instead of acting like children and baiting cops to show up to simply do their job - a more concentrated effort to repeal the law would be best served for everyone. However - these guys don't want to do that - they are addicted to misery - that is their real drug. In previous vids when a cop drives by and pays no attention - they wave their arms around and beg them to turn around and cry foul later.
SSILENTNATION 2 years ago
its funny, with all that is wrong in our country that the issue of pot is about the only thing people under 30 have any unity over....they are unaware of the real issues confronting their future...
i usually dont watch vids on this topic but it was favorited by someone im friends with....so im unfamiliar with other vids...taunting cops is not smart...i did mmpi2's on cops...youd be scared out of our mind if you knew what their profiles suggest.
centervilletn 2 years ago
Well I guess every occupation has it's share of inflated ego - no doubt there are a few dumb cops out there for sure. The MMPI though? "You loved your father?"....."You have black tarry bowel movements?"....I remember those questions...lol.

what shocked me was my first day on the job i was asked to determine which of two test were taken by a policeman and which was taken by a serial rapist....there was no difference between their test results...that sort of creeped me out...and make me the post polite guy who ever got a speeding ticket...

The system counts on pot smokers just accepting what happens. If every smoker who was arrested fought it weed would be legal in a year cuz all the cities would go broke just going through the process that many times.

civil disobedience is a tactic, and a successful one, at changing the law. When will you get that concept?
hibraisil 2 years ago
Advertising the committing of a crime, doing one's best to get police attention...then being deliberately uncooperative - rude - and (at times) aggressive will get you arrested - when will you get that concept? As it stands....your idea of a great concept isn't working too well is it?
SSILENTNATION 2 years ago
Really? Maybe you should do a little research.
hibraisil 2 years ago
@hibraisil Well lets see.....marijuana is still illegal is it not? Which, by the way, is something that I think should be legal. But barring my opinion - it istill remains illegal, and a review of these little protests in NH have done nothing except give these people a teeny tiny record and 5 minutes of martyrdom fame. Enlighten me if I am wrong.
SSILENTNATION 2 years ago
Okay. You're wrong. These "little protests" are part of a bigger movement. More states are legalizing Med MJ, more states are decriminalizing MJ and as of right now 4 have legalization bills in the legislature, including NH.

greatestsongsofLIFE 2 years ago 2
I've never said all laws were GREAT - but it isn't a cops job or place to decide what gets enforced and what doesn't (excluding civil violations such as speeding etc.) Jerking off on your front lawn doesn't hurt anyone, but I would imagine you would agree that such a person should get a spanking....don't you?
SSILENTNATION 2 years ago
Actually cops CAN make the decision to arrest someone or just ticket them in alot of cases. And jacking off on your front lawn DOES hurt people (kids).
greatestsongsofLIFE 2 years ago
Oh right - and doing drugs in public parks doesn't hurt kids.....doesn't make them interested at all. I am sure you have no problem with how the 4:20 events in Keene turned out...with grown ass men handing joints to 10th graders....all on tape....know every one of them. BRILLIANT.
SSILENTNATION 2 years ago
Publicly whackin'-it is bad, but public drug use is good?
I'm not really a big fan of public displays of either type. I mean, I'm not against upholding some basic standards of decency.
But I think what you do in the privacy of your own home (whether you're smokin' up or whackin'-it, or both at the same time) should not concern the gvmnt.
I don't think libertarians will succeed on the drug issue by pushing it in people's faces in public.

greatestsongsofLIFE 2 years ago
I'm sure if you were to drink alcohol in a public park you would have a good chance of being arrested.
Cigarettes for whatever reason(s) are more socially acceptable, like eating chocolate or drinking coffee (which also have "drugs" in them.)

Simply, because one is illegal and the others aren't.
Is that fair? Maybe not, but that's what's law right now.

Nazi cops want a police state. In every state in the U.S., nazi cops gather to try and prevent the rest of us from having the freedom to do what our forefathers did in peace. Nazi cops show up at hearings for medical marijuana, bringing with them false accusations and spreading lies and fear. It's what they do. It's their cash cow. They want you to live in fear, so they can continue to thrive on slavery.
