statism day one
You go to sleep a free man. When you wake up, you discover that a huge government bureaucracy has sprung up overnight. They have sent a bulldozer over to level your house in order to make way for a new indoctrination facility. When you object, the bureaucrat reminds you that you've tacitly consented to this treatment by virtue of your presence, and then shoots you in the head.
Now what? |

EDIT: Can I suggest an AC board so that this endless debate, and all other posts questioning the legitimacy of the state can be had there? I count 4 threads related to AC among the first 10 listed on this forum. Or, conversely, can I suggest the creation of a Politics Forum, while this forum be renamed the Anarcho-Capitalist Forum, to reflect its true nature? |

Re: statism day one
How can you call this an AC forum when there's an entire thread mocking it?

[/ QUOTE ] By "AC Forum", I don't mean that there's alot of AC supporters here; just that the only topic of conversation is AC/the legitimacy of the state/taxation -- which is, of course, an exaggeration; but I don't think it's THAT much of an exaggeration. |

Those posters who live in states with an interesting Senate, House or other race coming up can regale us with what is happening there. |
