  • Actually most human action in today's world already meshes very closely with libertarianism.

    Most businesses, charities, churches, families and communities operate via libertarian principles whether they realize it or not. Craigslist is a shining example.

    The rising cost of healthcare is very closely correlated w/ the increased gov. involvement over the past 60 years or so. When the industry was much freer (ie more libertarian) in the 1st half of the 1900s, costs were quite low.

  • "Moderate" Libertarian for socialist redistributionism. Redicolous. He has fallen prone to the classic occurence of unintended consequences.

  • I personally believe there is a coordinated group effort attempting to destroy Craig's List by attempting to undermine its' foundation of trust and credibility. I think it is difficult to identify the group because they are hidden amongst the array of criminal opportunists who are also involved in their own nefarious agendas. If this is true, who would you suppose is behind it? eBay and Kijiji?

  • Wow, he is very confused.

  • Oh dude, STFU, you are NOT a libertarian.

  • LOL! kind of an oxymoron huh!  agreed!

  • Lol. I sold my tv around the time I became a libertarian... I think that had a lot to do with it.

  • And yes...the age of reason happened because people felt like sticking to old paradigms. Just because something is happening currently does not make it rational. This man is NOT a libertarian. A libertarian being Pro-Obama is an oxymoron.

  • in america yes the government has allowed the healthcare industry to get out of control charging ridiculous amounts however rather than libertarianism, which is not going to be accepted, why not just lobby or vote for governments more likely to take better control as happens in most developed western societies. just because the american government has proved useless at it doesnt mean it is actually hard to do. i dont have enough of a word count to answer the part about most things meshing
