Which person would you like to be?
A. Happy to go about life consuming things like TVs, fancy cars, sports and McMansions while blissfully unaware or unconcerned the government is holding the chains of captivity that are wrapped around your neck.
B. A pissed off libertarian that knows full well the weight of those chains while also completely aware there ain't shit you can do about it.
I say leave 'em alone. We all can be pissed enough for 'em. No need to ruin their day.
interesting thought. Do you ever talk about the philosophy of liberty to anyone outside of the internet forums? Was this the way you always were or did your attitude change to this over time?
Believe it or not just up until recently I was gun ho. Kinda like Ian. Every thing black and white. John Shaw, along with a few others here, showed me another way.Live your life pursuing as much freedom you can handle and let others do what they want. That is what we want from them so it only seems right. Plus, the constant fighting or advocating gets tiring, is mostly pointless and is off putting.
It takes a lot of faith in the inherent goodness of mankind to believe all will right itself on it own. But coming from that kind of place is a lot more healthy than say a socialist outlook that at it's base is going on the assumption man kind sucks so bad it needs to be centrally managed.
