Libertarian Thread #2: We Shall Never Die!

Please lock this one.

Reading that Rothbard article you gave me Pat. Never knew that under Clinton a Democrat proposed changes to open up the Fed, including full audits!
Just thought that interesting. Oh, and Barney Frank supported it!? That seems odd to me.

Still gotta read all this info and analyze it, but one thing I am 100% in support of is opening up the Fed. Is very scary it operates as some separate entity..or as it said: a government agency "independent of politics" because that makes sense

Go to Kentucky and carry ice cream in your back pocket, then to Florida and fart in public after 6 PM, to North Carolina and sing off key, then up to Pennsylvania to sing in the bathtub. We'll pop over to NJ to break one of our famous laws...pumping our own gas.

That wasn't a sandwich, Brian.

1) Proposed. Probably wouldn't stand up in court.
2) Bizarre. Could make public health/safety justification, though.
3) Most trains have engines on both ends. Stopping at the wrong end could be... unhealthy. Rules like this generally exist as a result of specific incidents that resulted in fatalities.
4) Think we had this debate before.
5) Crossed state lines to sell, in fact. Was told to stop, so he tried some absurd plan to get around it. Not nearly so innocent.
6) Nonsense local laws.
7) Specific solution to specific problem. People hawking tours of something they actually know nothing about at the government's expense and not paying taxes on the revenue.
8) Hah, he's selling snake oil as a cancer cure. As far as I'm concerned, he's a f**king murderer who should rot in prison.
9) $10 fine says it's something that's ancient and existed probably to combat people defacing the cans to hide information or to advertize to an unwitting audience.
10) Lol pointless laws.
11) On one hand, sort of pointless. On the other, what happened to make anyone decide this law was necessary?
12) Lol protectionism.
13) It's much narrower than the author of the linked article suggests.
14) Ha ha... no.
15) That's always been a violation of the law. It's just one that's been ignored.
16) See above. It's a duplicate.
17) Yes, it's idiotic, but parents want that kind of stupidity. That's how we know humanity is doomed: those are the dipsh*ts who procreate.
18) That was never intended with the law. The fine was issued due to someone else's complaint in the first place (yes, some a****le complained to the cops). Furthermore, the fines were returned to the violators, and last I heard, they were amending the law to fix that kind of hole. That is, Mr. Rockwell is behind the times.
19) Hard to say here. If someone is using it as a job (there are lots of blogs which are businesses), then it makes perfect sense. If it's not a business (as is clear here), then most places have appropriate exemptions. That one municipality screws things up doesn't say much about the overall state of law in the country.

The US is such a free country these days...

I kind of lold though at Christie saying stuff like the NYPD thinks their jurisdiction is the world and they police the universe, and I assume he's being a little witty buttt my brother was saying he heard the NYPD (or NYC itself) has the ability to shoot down planes. Maybe they really are hoping to become their own force!

Police are becoming more and more militarized. Some are purchasing tanks, and yes the NYPD is essentially a military force at this time.

"Socialists want socialism for everyone else, but capitalism for themselves, while capitalists want capitalism for everyone else, but socialism for themselves."

That is pretty damn accurate.

I usually here just the last part but it is true almost every socialist government seems to have nooo problemo accumulating wealth for themselves at the top and be free from limits they put on the populace.

Well yes, but that's no fun.

No idea. That never even entered my head, partially because it doesn't matter who/what you are the US will waltz on in anyway.
