there doesnt seem to be much of a contradiction between espousing libertarian positions like "i dont like taxes" and endorsing extensions of the state's monopoly on "legitimate violence" in ustwo's posts that i remember.
not speaking for what the guy behind ustwo actually thinks, just saying the impression the posts generate.
i suspect this is one dividing line between the libertarian-lite wing of the republican party and the others, more like dk, who while might i disagree with him, is consistent in his arguments.
the problem with his post above is that a natural disaster is the kind of thing that even john locke thought would require governmental action--in locke, this is why governments were formed at all.
heroic atomized individuals cannot manage every eventuality.
the language of this law goes WAY beyond its rationale, btw.
