Thread Name: Government---the bigger the better !!!!
Subject: RE: Government---the bigger the better !!!!
I bethink me that libertarians have gotten to be almost as doctrinaire (how the f*** do you spell that, anyways?) as liberals or conservatives.

I like Heinlein's term: "Rational Anarchist."

Now we'll have a moment of silence so everyone can yell "Oxymoron!" in chorus.

O. K. Everybody done?

An Anarchist believes that all government is evil.

A Rational Anarchist believes that some government is a necessary evil.

The issue is, how little we can have and still make society work.

I don't know exactly how much that is. But since all the liberals and all the conservatives obviously do know, I probably don't need to.
