re: #91 Targetpractice

I shit you not, I had a wingnut the other day try to seriously argue that government should exist solely to protect ones rights and that taxes be abolished. How did he suggest it be funded? By buying said protection like an insurance policy, paying monthly fees to ensure the government would be there to protect your individual rights.

It was at about that point that I just had to shake my head and thank Odin that stupidity is not contagious.

People like that are free to spin these ludicrous fantasies precisely because there’s not a chance in hell they’d ever be enacted.

I mean, think about it for a minute - all these clowns who say the FDA should be abolished and The Free Market should decide what drugs are good or bad? They say that KNOWING that won’t happen, so they don’t have to deal with the consequences.
