Since they are denied the "right" to live in Libertopia they have no choice but to live in the real world. That doesn't make them hypocrites. They are not directly contradicting their principles. On the other hand there are plenty of "free-market" economists who live entirely on grant money from the public purse and plenty of those "libertarians" will be accepting government assisted funding through college or would do so if it was available.
If the government money wasn't taken from us to begin with, we could better afford tuition. If there was no government aid, the schools would be cheaper. If there was no government aid, the schools would assit one more in getting private aid.
Sometimes it is necessary to violate one's principles in order to help the greater good. Yes, but how can a Randite libertarian do so in good faith? For such people there is no greater good, it is all the self.
Yeah, and to a fscking statist you give your all to the state. Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@smoke.suba.com
