Pure labor theory of value. I'm surprised there weren't about a bazillion angry responses this week.<br /><br />When you and I agree on what we are willing to exchange <i>the price has been set</i>. It's not magic. I'm relatively new at this stuff. It's not that hard.Puck T.

"You&...Heh, Rachel's comment is pure AFA:<br /><br />"You're right. I don't need public schools, or roads or stoplights or police departments. I can teach myself, drive just fine over the rocky ground, and fight crime with my machete. I prefer to play my soccer games without a ref, and eat food from places that don't believe in inspections. Hey, I trust the banks and the insurance companies. They'll do what's right--they'll play fair if government would just leave them alone. I would love to live on the island with Piggy in The Lord of the Flies--what fun--or perhaps move to the Sudan where anarchy rule--no taxes! AND I'll get to put out my own fires and start my own heart beating again."<br /><br />In other words: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIEEEE!Puck T.

I have had a statist on my Examiner column using these <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-5723-Albuquerque-Libertarian-Examiner~y2009m7d30-Why-anarchy-is-superior-to-statism#comments" rel="nofollow">same misguided delusions</a> for a few days now. He ever dared to say "I like government"! Horrors! I felt a cold shiver running down my back as I read that.Kent McManigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005964583189815410noreply@blogger.com
