> Remember, LIBERTARIANISM IS NOT ANARCHY.  

Remeber, TRUE LIBERTARIANISM *IS* ANARCHISM, as I proved before.  The
definition of government is that it claims a monopoly on the right to
decide who may use force when.  No organization has a right to do this;
there must be free competition between protective agencies/associations.

Oh wonderful, kill tens of millions of innocent people just because they
have the misfortune of being ruled by aggressive leaders!!!??!!  This is
a libertarian's respect for rights??!!  And for those who think it is all
right to *threaten* (bluffing) such indiscriminate murder, do you not see 
that threats can cause harm to innocents too?  Retaliation is only
acceptable against aggressors, and I mean *individuals*.  

CONSISTENCY, ANYONE???  Last call for consistency!
