Anyone else catch the ironic hypocrisy in Annie's statement? "You can't control what other people do or how they conduct themselves in public. If you take this into account, you realize that ordinances like this are necessary." So for those that can't see it. She claims that you can't control what other people do or how they conduct themselves, so we need ordinances to control what other people to or conduct themselves. Tell me, how is an ordinance different than a you?

@jimprjayp Translation: jimprjayp is a good socialist. Ironic, that the socialist jimprjayp would steal a verse from the Holy Scriptures to make his socialist point though, isn't it?

It just seems like a point that detracts from the concern over control to publically question a small community agenda over something that really isn't important enough to make a difference especially considering the relavance and overwhelming data to support the city on this issue.

This, to me, is why libertarians are a developing middle ground between republicans and anarchists. Everyone recognizes the need for courtesy at the family level but two families that agree do not rule a 3rd.

@ArrestAJudgeKit There is nothing new under the sun, it is just reworked, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. The hippies of the '60s were right about civil rights and war. They also proved radical ideas translated into loud messages slanted to their beliefs work. Socialism works but only on the very small scale like in small communities. To force large agendas on small comm. is to force them using a foreign or outside agenda that has little or zero relevance to them.

@jimprjayp True - they have just co-opted the socialist aspects from the liberals to create their own socialist-conservative hybrid...........and called it 'libertarian'.......or hippies for short......

@coffeefish No

Heika learns an important lesson (maybe) - don't play by the rules in a rigged game. Don't work within a rigged system! Only idiots and morons fall for that trick - The audience was full of idiots and morons though, wasn't it?

@coffeefish A“Libertarians”

I do not join or endorse any political group or movement. More specifically, I disapprove of, disagree with, and have no connection with, the latest aberration of some conservatives, the so-called “hippies of the right,” who attempt to snare the younger or more careless ones of my readers by claiming simultanteously to be followers of my philosophy and advocates of anarchism.

Is Freekeene a Liberal group?

So the public officials don't have to give their information but citizens due?
