Sorry, Olent; under the new Campaign Finance Laws, I am not allowed to accept more than two beers from any single poster.

There’s a joke about soft money and hard liquor in there somewhere, but damned if I have the brainpower to think of it this morning…

Tyranny! Tyranny! John, you just shot your invitation to my microbrewery, you tool of the Proletariat! Anyway, if Olent shits like he follows up on his own threads, then he doesn’t wipe until it’s cake dry.

What? I thought it was my right in Libertaria to do with my property as I pleased. In this case, it was to let the blasted thing sink after your apology back on page 2. You guys wanna discuss and debate the merits of libertarianism, go start your own damn thread in GD. This one, as I said to John earlier, has outlived its usefulness by well over a century.

Or does property freedom only apply when it doesn’t frustrate your own efforts?

O, I have one, sirrah. It just doesn’t extend in your direction.

Funny, I can see both **Libertarian** ’s and **Olentzero** ’s humour. Buggered if I can see any light though. Odd.
