Company Stores and scripts are an abuse of power. Here is what I said about abuses of power ...

" Libertarianism oppose to abuses of power, and only want a government big enough to stop abuses of power. "

The fact that these types of "company towns" operated, with impunity was simply because government was NOT doing its job properly.

However, I would suggest to you that the Government taxes and fees and whatnot amount to the same " no longer free, and it's just ugly and messy." you complain about in Libertarianism. We are serfs to the Government masters.

"Why don't you move to all those countries with tiny national governments that barely reach outside of the capital?"

Because

"Libertarianism oppose to abuses of power, and only want a government big enough to stop abuses of power. "

Again, I love how idiots claim to know Libertarianism, don't actually know anything. In your Strawman, you fail to take into account the primary purpose of Government which is to prosecute Crimes (you know abuses of power). However, when the Government abuses its power (Hitler), how does one stop it? This is why Government should be restricted in scope.

Unrestricted Government is tyranny.

Being Rear Ended is almost always the fault of the person who drives into the car in front (there are exceptions ..) And you're right, unsafe driving is the cause of many accidents. However, most drivers have expectations of the drivers around them.

Well, after the third accident, we took her car away. She never drove again, and died many many years ago.

Her driving degraded over the years, as she became more timid driver. But it was that last year when it became clear, she was a danger to drivers all around, because she did "unexpected" things while driving, but nothing illegal.

Macs made USB!

It was very late in coming to Windows, and early implementations on Microsoft was horrible. They almost did the same thing to Firewire, and killed off the floppy long before it happened on PCs. SCSI implementation on Mac was also better. Mac tend to lead, PCs tend to "me too".

I have a theory on why this is, and it goes ... something like this.

Apple looks towards the future, and builds what will be "standard" in 3 years with their top of the line products. Things like USB, SCSI, Firewire, No Floppies, etc

Microsoft (and PCs) are always looking to build the least expensive product, and aren't very good at forward thinking. They wait for Apple to have "standards" they can use (USB) and the struggle to make those standards fit inside PCs. By the time PCs catch up, three years later, the re-announce "new" features that "just work" (sort of) that Macs had three years before, and thus become "standard".

Now it doesn't always work out that way, Apple has picked some horribly slick albatrosses along the way. Good ideas that never caught on (FireWire) But if you look at the "standards" today, almost all of them were "standard" on Mac long before they were standard on PCs.

I am not a Mac/Apple fanatic, I'll use anything you put in front of me. Computers are tools, and a craftsman uses any tool that's in front of him.

I actually agree. However, I do know that old people can cause accidents that are "not their fault" technically and legally, but still cause accidents. My Aunt had three accidents in one year and yet NONE of them were her fault. She was just not where people expected her to be because she "froze" in the middle of an intersection during a light change. She didn't enter illegally, and the other driver wasn't paying close attention so technically, the accident wasn't her fault. But she shouldn't have been there in the first place.

This is the same woman that would make "three rights" to avoid making a left turn, and then would get "lost" and freeze in an intersection trying to figure out which way to go. Not her fault. She obeyed all the traffic laws perfectly.

THANK and YOU!

I wish I had mod points .... TROLL.

This kind of shit it just pathetic. But it works in Liberal crowds. People like you can't actually point to anything specific, so you toss out huge nasty sounding challenges, that have no basis in fact.

Take a look at Chicago, DC and NO, and tell me, what good has (D) policies done for the Minority Communities there?

"... policy shifts to be extremely favourable to mobile populations and corporate entities, and extremely unfavourable to ordinary people."

We call that "Regulations". That $100 business license your city requires, doesn't hurt big businesses, it hurts small ones where every $100 counts.

With Uber, the problem isn't with the City, it is with Liberalism. Uber is Libertarian and is fucking with Liberal "regulation" of "Cab Companies". When cities decide We are only having four Cab Companies", that is liberalism in a nutshell. Guess what, cab companies have abused their oligopoly and deserve to die a painful death under the new economy.

And with automated cars coming, it is going to get even messier. I love it! FREEDOM IS MESSY!

I love people who don't know or understand Libertarianism try to describe it. Libertarianism oppose to abuses of power, and only want a government big enough to stop abuses of power. But we also know that abuses of power will exist. It is much easier to control "Boss Hog" in some rural county than it is to control "Hitler" in Europe.

Liberals love to describe Libertarianism as unworkable, simply because they don't like liberty. They like big centralized power that can control the masses. I would dare say that things like the IRS, NSA, DHS and all the other "abuses" of our federal government are exactly the result of Liberals wanting to control the outcomes of everyone's lives. They don't arise in a land of Liberty. Period.

I want unbridled liberty. It is messy, ugly and free. If a nice tidy society is what you want, you're a Fascist. But hey, at least the trains are on time.

Liberals are people who see "Excellence" and think "That's not fair" and want to make the playing field "level" for the players that don't work and practice hard. So they saddle those that do work hard with extra weight "because they deserve it for taking advantage" of those that don't work hard.

Strawmen are easy to knock down.

Nice Strawman!

"sell drinking water, you can dump your sewage in the river and sell your own clean upstream water"

Bull and Shit. Libertarians believe that people causing HARM to others need to pay for it. This means that if the water is being polluted, that those polluting the water are jailed and have to restore the river back to the way it was.

But like all Libtards, you love to set up strawmen just to knock them down and try to look impressive doing so. But if you want to play that game, "Liberals want to take all your money and give it to people who don't deserve it, just so they can create more poor people to vote (D)!"

Which is a strawman, but still is much much closer to the truth.

"some ideas are objectively terrible" You mean like a junior senator with a background in "community organizing" would be an effective government leader, and leader of the free world?

But at least he isn't GWB, he is GWB and then some!
