"Live and let live is a liberal/libertarian principle but carried to some ridiculous extremes we get the aberrations we are all familiar with." --- lwm and not a sock-puppet!
You keep saying that if carried to some ridiculous extreme that "live and let live" will kill us all. You never give any examples that are based in reality or in theory. Want to try?
Rockwell once pointed out men with kooky ideas (did he know you?) were relatively harmless without the government to enforce their kooky ideas. Many have shown that it takes government to discriminate due to the costs being widely spread out over the population.
What I would really like to know is how the comedians here think that no government at all (or a very weak one) would allow an anarchist or a libertarian (do they know that is not always the same thing?) to tyrannise them? How paranoid can one get?
But I must say, yesterday's hate fest you started was a hoot. I wonder: did Glenn like it?
