If you can't see the idiocy in that, then I have every right to call you a "stupid liberal". You and Cooper both have the same dumb mindset. If the government does it, then it must be right. Just when did I ever say that? Don't you ever dare misquote me. Your postings are that of a selfish, self centered who has no regards for the rights of others. I would never equate you with a true libertarian. True libertarians have enormous feelings for the rights of others. OTOH you refuse to give up one of your perceived rights, to accommodate the rights of others. What a sad life you must lead. You may have the last word as I will not reply. There is no need to and quite frankly, you bore me. -- Peter weg9 says: I didn't say you said it......I am saying it. In Palo Alto, California, you can't smoke inside any bar, but you can smoke on the street. That's a fact. So, if the guy can't have his patrons smoke, but they can smoke out on the street, that's not the same thing as naked dancing, or selling booze after hours or other laws that the city/state makes to regulate bars. I am just pointing out your stupidity.......But I really don't have to, do I? The liberal position is stupid on the face of it. That's why I left that state, and moved up here to Oregon......But the liberals are infiltrating here too....... |

Although, in most business matters I am considered somewhat conservative. I don't think he's a libertarian. He's an anti-establishmentarian. He objects to everything. As someone who listened to Ayn Rand's yearly lectures on the Boston lecture circuit back in the 60s/70s, and read everything she wrote, I think that Bill captures the unbridled selfishness of true libertarianism perfectly. You guys don't understand how horrifically bad libertarianism really is. -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan Easy to generalize, isn't it? Why don;t you address the central point? Why can't a bartender operate a "smoking bar" in the city of Palo Alto, California. Smoking is legal on the street. You can go to other, non-smoking bars if you don;t smoke. Why can's a smoking bar owner put a sign on his door that says, "Danger. - This is a smoking bar. If you come in here you will be subjected to second hand smoke. If that is unacceptable to you, then please go down the block to Mike's place and drink there......His bar is non-smoking" It is the libertarian view that this should be the law, and that to force all bars to be non-smoking is a transgression of the owner's property rights. |

That operating a smoking bar doesn't take away anybody else's rights, but the law that prevents it takes away the rights of the bar owner who smokes and wants to operate a smoking bar. You guys skirt around the issue, but can't explain to me (and the others on this forum) why there should be such a discriminatory and unfair law. This is the kind of law that flies in the face of the US Constitution, one of whose purposes is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. It is no different from a law that takes all of Bill Gates' money away from him and distributes it to the rest of us. It is just like the law that prevented a guy back in the 60's from starting a cable TV business.....The dumb California liberals voted for that one too, and the guy had to take it to the California Supreme court in order to get it overthrown. Today, he would have to take it to the US Supreme court, and even there, he might lose. That's because the Constitution had become a near dead document, and the socialists are the ones who have caused that......I speak of you guys. You are the socialists who have caused it. "Liberals" is far too nice a word for you. You are, and will be, the death of freedom in this country, and you are too dumb to even know it. |

Strange thing is that liberals call conservatives or anyone else they hate Fascists. Trouble with that is that consevatives don't ruin people's lives by taking away their freedoms through big government, big spending and big taxes. Far Left Loons like to brag about the Bill of Rights until somebody criticizes them, then they use vitriolic adjectives to describe them. For liberals, it seems that freedom of speech only goes as far as agreement. so happy to see that "Ray Fischer" is still a stupid ****. |

.... Bill is also immune to historic fact, and finds all Laws to be written by conspiratorial liberals trying to steal his money, and to control his life. The term "tax and spend liberal" was coined for good reason. Conservatives have the outlandish feeling that people should be self-reliant and not depend on the goverment, so it follows that people should be able to spend their money better than bureaucrats. Liberals feel just the opposite. They think people are stupid and helpless and so the government must help them. So, they grow government and confiscate your money. Might be marginally OK except that it has NEVER worked because of waste, fraud, and corruption. And Yes, liberals DO think the government should control your life which is always curious since they scream freedom of speech until someone disagrees. -- Jerry, aka HP "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less: A Handbook for Slashing Gas Prices and Solving Our Energy Crisis" - Newt Gingrich |

Yes, keep the money at the local or better yet,the people level. Yes, marriage is between one man and one woman, not two queers. Try reading the Bible occasionally. And, stop using euphemisms to cover up what you really mean. There is nothing "gay" about two guy porking each other. It always has been and always will be a queer way to act, condemmed by the Bible as aginst God's law, and just plain wrong. -- Jerry, aka HP "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less: A Handbook for Slashing Gas Prices and Solving Our Energy Crisis" - Newt Gingrich |
