Why is it necessary for you, or other libertarians, to have to rephrase my words, reframe my arguement, change it around, before you can reply to it?
I live in the real world. I cannot speak for you but that is where I reside. Nothing in it is perfect because of the human condition and human nature. Nothing having to do with the behavior of people is perfect.
The idea that a certain law or program is wrong because there exists a different law of program which is less than perfect is the worst sort of strawman. It is meaningless in the real world.
Of course, these type of debates do not take place in the real world - at least the one I live in. They take place in the same rarified atmosphere of the college sophmore all night bull session where a bunch of intellectually curious 19 year olds hopped up on too much coffee and Red Bull debating all the burning issues of ethics, morality and philosophy.
Its intellectual masturbation and is meaningless to anyone beyond the intellectually overconfident participants. The vast majority of people move on to bigger and better things. Unless you are libertarian.
You are free to wager anything you want on anything you want. Thats fine with me. But if that is some sort of evidence you are offering, please provide some statistics or research to support that point. Otherwise, its just your opinion founded on nothing more than you wanting to further your previous opinion with made up stuff without foundation.
