You can argue that any political philosophy that knowingly fails to prevent something bad is enabling it. That applies to all of the constitutional protections in the US. My point was that your argument merely makes a tenuous link between libertarianism and racism, implying that this is grounds to dismiss the entire model. No working political system has ever fit entirely into any of the pigeonholes we like to discuss. A much more libertarian version of the US would be possible, while still providing some protections against discrimination. Much more liberal systems exist that provide virtually no protection like our fair housing act. See Germany and France for examples. The average "libertarian" in the US wants to get rid of most of the alphabet soup (ATF, DEA especially), lower taxes, and work toward a balanced budget and a currency that is at least partially commodity backed. Most of them come out a little more extreme than that, because it's hard to be heard otherwise. They are not, however, a bunch of backward racists, potheads, or anything else that they have been made out to be over the years.

You could insert anything that is fashionable at the moment in the place of racism. Example 1: Even if a libertarian isn't personally a terrorist, they see things like warrantless wiretapping and the patriot act as the government sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong, so at the very least a libertarian world view enables terrorism. Anyone else want to play?

Did you try "sudo create ham"?

True, but I don't think he was arguing for boxing or football. There are many schools of traditional martial arts that do not include any actual contact head blows. He was probably arguing in favor of say, aikido, judo, or even karate, and MMA was simply an easy example of a full contact martial art.

The distinction between "internet", "cell phones", and "tv" gets blurrier every day. People walk around with phones that will save them money by going over voip and wifi when it's available, I haven't own a tv in years, since hulu et al made it not worth the money for cable service. Even when I did have a tv it was hooked up to a mythbox, which relied on internet service for listings. Allowing some parts of the spectrum to be unregulated is a good thing, it allows hobbiests and startups to push the envelope and do things that can't be easily pigeonholed into one of the current categories. If anything we need more unregulated spectrum. 2.4 GHz is incredibly useful for everything from wifi to model airplanes precisely because it isn't regulated. If a large chunk of the 700 MHz band were simply given to miscellaneous digital traffic or something it would be good for a lot of people.

As much as this has gone badly in the past, with sunken submarines, lost hydrogen bombs, and at least one crashed space craft I know of, I think this could be done reasonably safely. The fuel may not have to be weapons grade, and it should be possible to launch it in such a way that if something goes wrong it at the very least crashes into a place where it will do little damage (especially compared with the above mentioned accidents). The likelyhood of an accident releasing nuclear fuel can be reduced with appropriate containers. While in space radiation exposure is already very dangerously high. A nuclear reactor driven ship could actually be a benefit, since it alleviates some design limitations on weight and could therefore allow for better shielding for the passengers.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. I have heard that rare earth minerals were mixed in with soils in asia because they were believed to promote crop growth, though I have no idea if it's true. I have also heard that at nuclear test sites there was a zone after the area where everything was dead, but before things were normalized, where plant growth seemed to be accelerated, and that this may be the origin of OMG GIANT BUGZ movies that blamed radiation, also no idea if that is true. If anyone has some insight I would be interested.

IANAL but it's a little more complicated than that. In essence certain amendments and constitutional rights are applied to the states, while several are not. This came about through the interpretation of the 14th amendment, and is referred to as incorporation.

A Warp Core? Do you mean a matter antimatter reactor? Warp cores are fictional devices from the star trek universe, there are hypothetical warp drives that are valid solutions to general relativity, but they require exotic matter that may not even exist in this universe. Furthermore there are other barriers to populating the solar system, such as that none of the other planets are habitable, and they are unlikely to be able to be made habitable except within domes, underground tunnels and the like.
