=Mayor Snorkum;1059461320]still stuck on oil? what else would you exploit?
Well, oil is certainly the most important for now. Only a fool would think it shouldn't be tapped, and tapped ASAP.
There's this stuff,
Rare Earths.
There's this stuff, it's called "steel", that the nation must produce cheaper. That will be done when important steel producing states become right-to-work states.
That's another resource that must be nutured and expanded. Human freedom and the creativity unfettered freedom brings should not be subject to punitive taxation. There's a reason businesses are fleeing the United States, and it's not because the unions are too weak and business taxes are too low and the businesses aren't regulated enough.
You're advocating bigger government. You think bureaucrats work for free?
I am sure you can define free market to your satisfaction, but like communism, it doesn't exist as originally defined, and never will.
Yes, your fantasy world is interesting, but your pretend ignorance is boring.
Sadly, it's clearly an act.
Libertarians are often those who take extreme views without limiting themselves to the extreme views of the far left or the far right.
LIbertarians are those who think about issues using their brains, not their glands. Glands aren't especially useful for thinking.
Libertarians are also those people who refuse to consider other people as resources to be consumed to satisfy some perverted notion of utility.
What is a REAL libertarian?
Libertarians who aren't fake libertarians.
It's not hard to recognize that since people are not property, people don't have any authority to interfere with anyone's chosen life path that doesn't harmfully intersect that of others. That means, to wit, since it ain't your property, you don't get a vote on how it's used or consumed. It also means that since it's not your life, you don't get to dictate who that person lives it. Finally, it means, you're not allowed to harm othes, nor can you harm their property or impede their own freedoms if they're not infringing on you.
You want an energy efficient property? Well, give the guy two cheers and hurrah! Don't run around expecting a halo or permission to order others to be just like you if they don't want to.
Welcome to real libertarianism.
I have seen many arguments as to what makes up a real conservative, with no consensus, of course. What makes you any more real than the next libertarian?
There is no "next" libertarian. People who seek to wrongly impose controls on people for selfish reasons or altruistic reasons aren't libertarians, they're something else.
The only acceptable controls are those prohibitions that prevent people from causing deliberate harm to others, from harming or stealing their property, or from engaging in fraud or other acts of deceit that separate people from their property or their lives.
Especially since libertarians rarely get elected....:2razz:
Yeah, that must be relevant to someone. Not the Mayor, since kissing butt and selling out isn't in the Mayor's character profile.
