Mr. Roboto, I am curious why you choose to pick out a terrible thing that’s happened and automatically assume that if we were to go the way of Liberty that we’d see an explosion in those stories?
At the risk of stating the obvious bad things do happen at times, and we can’t have a safety net for everything. Perhaps if folks had more of their money there would be other entrepreneurs popping up trashing those folks who would run their business with a lack of ethics.
The reality is that right now at this time, we are not ready for liberty in fact everything pointed to by OWS is going the way of world govt. which automatically implies world domination. However we’ve always had idealist leftists on campus now they are simply out marching. What we’ve not really had is an entire generation of young people influenced by a libertarian like Ron Paul.
Right now we have Dems who want to legislate their morals on us in the form of taxes for wealth redistribution. Or the pubbies who want to legislate more police state infrastructure etc. because they are law and order moralists. Both sides mean well, but I really want to make the choices for myself.
Deep down I seriously doubt the guy will win, but it’s encouraging to see so many young people coming to understand that essential liberties are more important than security safety nets (be they transfer payments or TSA checkpoint to protect us from terrorists)
