"How Much Government Is Necessary?" - Part 1 of the Debate

A E

Badnarik got PWNED!!

Doesn't Michael contradict his argument against anarchism (majority of people don't want to practice violence) at the end of this video, when he quotes Jefferson about rights. How do you defend your rights against violence by not using violence? If the government (which are meant to "protect" those rights in the first place) violates rights, who's supposed to protect them? If you're afraid of violence in defense of self... How are you going to defend your liberty in either statism or anarchism?

That wouldn't be a likely approach because rebellion would most likely happen. Rome mostly enslaved and assimilated the populations they took over. They drafted men for "auxiliary units". They did also do what you mentioned above, just not to an entire population. They probably murdered the upper class and stole that wealth.

There is a new Rule of Law presented on the world-wide0website PortablePublishing a COM site.

That rule of law is called the 2012 Constitution. You might like it; or like to comment in it.

Stef has so many videos out it's almost too much. It'd take me about a year to go through all of them and they are all soooo long. I like the vision, but it might take an apocalyps for it ever to happen.

I smetimes think of molyneux as a prophet ;p, Seriously, a great speaker who really makes me interested in these things

We are the problem with governemnt. If we don't make gov big then we will make churches even bigger. We are a goofy spieses that needs to point fingers at things for their own wrongs. We look at out gov as the police of a free market. If something gets to big at our cost we need to go and whine to someone. That's all it is. If I knew I could only be president for 8 years, 4 years minimum what the hell do you think you'd get accomplished or get away with? " We've meet the enemy..its us".
