I am wondering if anyone has taken note of what words roachboy
CAPITALIZED, and why he did so.
His post here needs to be repeated and shouted over the roof tops.
This libertarian nonsense reminds me of a line from Charles Dickens-
A Christmas Carol.
This might not be verbatim, but as close as I can remember it went thus:
Scrooge declares....
"well, the poor aught to go ahead and die then,
and decrease the surplus population."

the worst possible argument for libertarian ideology is actually seeing that ideology argued for, seeing what the Righteous write about their Righteousness.
