Roscoe; -- Tell that to the families of kids who died after eating contaminated burger patties at Jack in the Box restaurants in California a few years back.

Tell what?
Selling diseased meat = everyone living under prohibitory drug laws?
Bizzaro stretch. Even for you.

VA -- According to Tpaine's mentality (or lack thereof) thats the free market with a little darwinism thrown in for good measure. However I am sure he's the first to bitch when his social security check is late.

Non sequitur nonsense. My check is payback for the 50 years I paid into SS supporting your grandparents. Now, the system owes me. Live with it, or change it. - I tried to fight it, and failed.

Hey, they've only had "32 years" of "planning." Just give 'em another 50 or 60 years, and then you better watch out!

re 104..

From your argument you seem to be saying that people have no right to end their own life...Unfortunately the can, and they do.

While this is a recognized principle of some religions, which doesn't bother me in the least. You are allowed to practice whatever religion you choose. However, to use the state to force your religous doctrine on others is where we part ways.

You would very upset if I tried to tell you what to do. What makes you think you can tell others what to do?

The Libertarian Party in California, like the national party, SUPPORTS open borders. Like leftist Federal District Court Judge Mariana Pfaelzer, it OPPOSED Proposition 187.

Hmmm. So you can't really deny that you are in tandem with liberalism, eh Roscoe?

And don't forget, it's "unconstitutional" to "prohibit" C4 in the soles of air passengers' shoes.

Under the Miller decision, it would be if C4 were used by the infantry. (The SC ruled that sawed-off shotguns could be banned without a 2nd Amendment violation if they weren't usaed by GIs.)

Oh, yes, our crack team of infantry suicide bombers.

Terrorists just gotta love that.

CJ proclaims himself to be an 'enlightned' Illumined Yogi. -- He IS special, on FR at least, for being able to flaunt his idiosyncrasies & hatreds with shameless abandon.

I've learned quickly that in libertine speak, the term 'no sequitur' really means 'you've kicked me in the groin and knocked me on my ass with your logic, but I am too proud to stop making a fool of myself so lets continue'.

Regarding your SS, you need to send back every dollar you make beyond what you paid in, plus interest. Anything after that is hypocracy money.

Fink?

Even though strela is a Drug Warrior ... he's a pretty honorable one. I don't think that he would "fink"

Buy a mirror. Drug Warriors arguing with hard-line Libertarians is a joke. How about we first get to a place where the Founders' intent is honored and common sense readings of the Consitution prevail before either deciding if Demon Weed means the ruin of the Nation or if Libertarian ideas can make us even more free?
