Lines: 27 [] From: stewart@ihldt.UUCP (R. J. Stewart) > 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! wALTER wEGO c/o ihnp4!wucs!wucec1!pvt1047 Please send any mail directly to this address, not the sender's. Thanks.
