Svelte,
First thing is I am talking about the Libertarian position on the national level. The libertarian position that Ron Paul supports. Ron Paul is indeed a Libertarian, although I don’t think he agrees with 100% of the party, just like any party.
Next you just proved my point above. “Social Pressure” is what forms on a local level to pass local regulation. CAL/EPA was formed from social pressure on the local level as well as local air quality boards, water quality boards, etc. These local groups go above and beyond what the EPA mandates which basically makes the EPA on the national level redundant. Why would you voluntarily pay the salaries of these guys on the National level in DC that have no clue about things out here in California? We are already putting our local money to work here and it’s better! Do you like giving away money to fat cats in DC? I don’t like giving my money away for somebody else to spend in a manner that is redundant and useless. Why are you so easily fooled Svelte?[/quote]
Mark, you stated the Libertarian position was to left lower level governments decide. When I showed you that it was in no way a part of their platform, you warp their words to fit your position.
Pretty amazing and it matches your continued contention that Ron Paul is a Libertarian when he is clearly running as a Republican…you see the world as you want to see it, not as it is.
