John Clark said it somewhere sarcastically ...
"In other words, if everyone was a nice person it would be a better world.
So what else is new?"
I may be reading into this wrongly, but the philosophy is based on us
individuals being , if not nice, at least honorable. I think that inherant
in the foundation self ownership based philosophy one must address this
concern for rational ethics and thesad fact that many people do NOT know how
to be either a "nice person" or for that matter, self responsible or
rational. Not to mention the victim mentality and so forth that is the norm
today in much of our population worldwide.
It has occurred to me that we indeed may have a long road to get "from here
to there.." Hopefully not one strewn with stragglers and throwaways.
I wonder how one thinks people will learn to think in ways that make us
honest, self worthy, independant and prosperous.
Thank you for you considered and well thought out post, I am curious about
Libertarian politics and any cohesive plans made towards actually
implementing the freedoms that Libertarian Anarcho-capitalist philosophy
talks about.
So far the Extropian list seems to hold the clearest thinking coalition of
free thinkers that I have met.
Since you are an authority by way of being a State Sec., any information or
forwards of Libertarian musings you would like to send to me would be much
welcomed by this Artist/Muse.
Much thanks again for your post,
