perhaps you might consider answering the OP instead of making the thread about yourself.

That may be true but come now, you're supposed to be a highly educated adult man but all you've contributed to this thread is needless flames and blatant hypocrisy. Seriously, I expected better from you. It really is a shame.

What would you have me respond instead? I don't see any discordance between the two posts you cited.

If you have a society of people coming together with no central authority and participated in society with non- coercion as the only rule then that society would flourish on all levels. Charity would surpass any welfare state and no means to make money as long as it didnt involve coercion would be banned. The economy would be so robust and innovative that a libertarian society would be the most advanced in the world. People confuse a free market with corporatism (todays world) where government enables most of the the "corporate evils" we see. In a true free market reputation is a business's greatest asset and the consumer is the regulator. Without the state a corporation would have to compete on its own merits.

Seriously now, neocons, how much better is it to be ruled by Transworld than by your own elected officials?
They both stink.

By the lack of state, actually; if there were proper regulations they wouldn't be able to make so many risky (and, in the end, catastrophic) loans.
Apparently lack of state intervention is what allows the state to take over businesses. What are you smoking in what universe?

Libertarianism is incompatible with basic human nature of the desire of power.
Instead of the state telling you what to do, you have a guy with a large amount of thugs telling you what to do.....
