Shouldn't it be "Defending the Indefensible?" Heil grammar! 卐卐卐卐卐卐!

@StatelessLiberty I think you might be right, but the title of the book that stimulated this discussion is the video title, "Defending The Undefendable." (see 0:33)

@unfad1ng Because the Cato Institute was created by the Koch Brothers, who are free-market supporters only when it's beneficial for them to be.

@TheManiacalSatanist6

why would it?

[TheManiacalSatanist6]

Normally, having someone on from the Cato Institute raises a credibility question, but it's John Stossel, so whatever.

@totustuus11 Tom Woods is the best representative of the Austrian School. I'm borderline creepy in the amount I follow him. However, I should give credit where credit is due. Milton Friedman was the one who introduced me to libertarian ideas.

@tenisplayer lol what the hell? You on drugs, child?

[tenisplayer]

jajaja gambling its a drug its the sound, the air, the music, the frecuencies everything for you to feel the need for more, and drugs well its not like the first time you decide to use it, was because you want it or if you know the result, believe me you would never use it the first time so as a community we need to constantly care of each other, in every aspect of life in orther to be happy and have a prosper life.

[totustuus11]

Walter Block is great. He, along with Tom Woods, brought me into the Austrian and Libertarian folds. Huzzah!

I'm pretty sure that it was illegal to use gold coins as currency about 70 years ago, but that those laws were either repealed or stricken down as unconstitutional long before I was born. It is however extremely unlikely that you would get your money's worth if you tried buying things with gold at most stores.
