Arg? Auuugh.

I know most of you have commented on Scott’s post about about Roy’s post about libertarianism’s attempt to be all things to all people rich, white, and male. But have you looked at the comments at alicublog? There’s a libertarian making lots of “args” in defense of his religion. And a couple of other randy Ayndies have added their 2 cents, as well. It’s pretty good reading.

Jesus Keeryst people, you need to learn the concept of charitable discussion.

When arguing with someone, taking what they said and turning it into the worst possible thing, makes you WEAK.

Here’s how a libertarian would see it, since I do:

I am against stop and frisk, I am also against big gulp bans, I am pro-choice, pro-gun, and basically Austrian.

I don’t care if stop and frisk = less death, I also don’t want cops all jack booted, even if statistically that makes them less safe, and more die each year. I don’t care, that’s the job.

BUT MORE THAN THAT….

I am an even firmer believer in state’s rights. So IF a state, city wants to ban abortion, or stop and frisk, or ban big gulps, or tax the living shit out of rich people, or become a right to work state, or wtf evah….

My own personal sense of libertarian freedom is “those people in that state HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.”

I don’t want your shitty states attitudes influencing where I live, and I’m willing to trade away affecting yours.

What’s more, I wake up ever day aware that I choose to live in Austin Texas, I accept the consequences of being in a religious state even though I personally am a first class hedon.

This is all perfectly logically consistent.

Yes everyone in American should move wherever they are happiest (this is happening anyway to the zip code). We are a nation of movers, and MOST of the animosity on display here and at conserva tive sites is a DIRECT REFLECTION of nationalizing ever goddamn issue.

Decentralizing decision making / authority lets people find the place they are happiest, So we can stop arguing about shit and get most of what we want by moving our feet.

We are a nation of movers. Thats our advantage. Stop pretending it is a bad thing.

And there you have it, people. Don’t like your current situation? just pick up and move. It’s JUST. THAT. EASY.

Here’s a picture of my son trying to hit a frog* with a bouncy ball. Smart readers will soon understand why this photo is relevant.
