Then, by extension, I find that when people say "libertarians" in quotes like you said, but not like I said, is no different than having them assult me with their fists. In fact, I find such behavior as direct threats against my life, and instilling terror, so that makes you a terrorist, and possibly an Arab because in my experience, people who put libertarians in menacing quotes like you do were mostly Arabs who hate our freedoms, and that's why they bombed the World Trade Center, and therefore must be harboring WMD's -- and they probably got a huge stash of oil we can grab too - I mean, are torturing their subjects and are anti-freedom, and hate the American Way of Life (Wave Flag Here!) Should we really be able to make up our own definitions and turn things which merely annoy us into crimes? Think about it a bit longer before you reply again. ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :NSA got $20Bil/year |Passwords are like underwear.

Being assaulted by others smoke, noise, chemical pollutants or whatever is no different than being assualted by their fist. I find it more than a little amusing that most of the so-called "libertarians" I come across haven't the slightest clue that their "freedom" ends at my personal space. One of the main reasons I no longer contribute to the LP and probably won't vote for any more LP candidates, since most libertarians seem to express the attitude of "Fuck everybody else, I can do whatever I want."
