I tried it earlier today. According to Bryan, Murry Rothbard is the paradigm of libertarian virtue. According to nearly everyone else, he was a kook. Likable and intelligent, but a couple tacos short of a combination plate.

I don't terribly mind this. One guy's opinion, and he's welcome to it. But let's not mislead people into thinking this is anything but the perspective of an absolutist with a skewed perspective.

Really? I hadn't heard that about Murray Rothbard. I am very impressed with his writings. Haven't encountered anything that falls in the "kook" category. And you may want to consider that although he was Jewish, he was also a Thomist. He thought that the Aquinas Realist philosophy was the only intellectual basis for society.

BTW, I scored 109. Pretty close to the example of "Levitical Israel" in the other post.
