<venividi> from a web forum: So I am only allowed to run a bussiness as long as I follow all the rules set forth by politicians who are making them (the rules) to reward their political friends? This heavy handed government control is at the expense of personal freedom and liberty.
<venividi> are there really adults who don't understand that businesses have always been governed by law?
<dem> well, that's the whole premise of libertarians, isn't it?

libertopiae

[vardissakheli.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine wrote a long series of SF stories back in high school set in an interestingly designed libertopia, later the setting of our long-running Traveller campaign. The magickal device supporting the whole thing was a unique supercomputer built on an irreproducible unit with a very limited capacity to send information backwards in time. Because it infallibly predicted the result of any direct referendum, it replaced corruptible elected officials with government by virtual referendum. The other essential feature was that individuals became part of this self-governing body by purchasing a franchise--but could only buy one equal vote, so it was governed by majority rule, not tightly held controlling interests. It was an interesting study in heavy-handed government enforcement of free association and the tyranny of the majority.

Mark my words!

You'll be the first against the wall when John Galt comes and saves us all.

Someone should talk to Scott Adams about Lolbert.
