Ray Ray, I find you a unique counterpoint. Your ideology is so very extreme. I find your ideology wrong but more than once it has caused me to think deeply about mine. It gives me additional perspective.

Then there's people like me who generally agree with most the libertarian tenets but see them more as guidelines than hard-set rules.

"libertarianism as a political philosophy dealing with the proper role of violence takes the universal ethic that most of us hold toward violence and applies it fearlessly to government."

I didn’t realize librarians elicited this sort of response

I think folks here would say that I am pretty damned conservative. Here's the thing... fiscally, they would be 100% correct. Socially, I tend to think MYOFB and let people do what they will, as long as it doesn't affect your rights.

Met Frank... Met Delta... like both of them. Here's the thing, Ray... we have a lot of the same values (Frank, Al and I) and we have different ideas on how to govern. It's okay to disagree. It is my belief that social media has ruined civil discourse. We can sit behind keyboards and insult one another instead of sitting face to face and presenting opposing opinions respectfully.

Al and I live 40 miles apart and get together now and then and do just that. Speak respectfully to one another over a drink and a smoke.

Seriously... I truly believe social media bears a large part of the responsibility for where we are as a society right now.

Never had twitter, instagram, snapchat or any of that other crap... had a FascistBook account and deleted it a couple months ago. I do not miss it.

There's an art to ad hominem attacks, something many people miss because just the fact that they use name calling makes them feel good in a childish schoolyard kind of way.
Now a big boy real attack has the ammo to back it up!
