One Toke Over The Line? Is Greece finally going to end the pretense that the euro is a viable idea? Has Greece (and more importantly, the Greeks) finally been pushed far enough to let the German's out of the euro?

Extra! Extra read all about it... Liberal nut job redefines libertarianism. Get's plenty confused mistaking it for anarchism. Poor nut job just can't think with both sides of his brain.

Oh please this is silly and self-defeating implied moralism.

Perhaps some centuries ago some small towns in New England and the Lakes regions had some kind of uncorrupt democracy.

But for a long time USA democracy has been pay-for-play.

The big deal is that in the past few decades only business interests have been allowed to pay to play, while in 1940-1980 unions could also pay to play.

What matters in the USA is that competing interests be buying competing politicians, not the impossible dream of having uncorrupt politicians.

Really? So you are going to send the jackbooted thugs of big government to STEAL MY PROPERTY to pay for a state law enforcement service you want when I would rather be free to choose to hire my own law enforcement service in a voluntary bargain among willing individuals?
