There was a catch, though. It would be part of a "liberty package" with the site's 170,000 person mailing list for... wait for it... $250,000. They think the price is totally worth it: '"

Being a libertarian is like being a Highlander. There Can Be Only One.

In the case of a trademark dispute, the disputants are brought to the 'marketplace of ideas' where they compete until only one is left alive, at which point he absorbs the market share of the others.

It's pretty fucking epic, actually.

Being a libertarian is like being a Highlander.

I'm puzzled, is this an incitements to go after libertarians' necks, or an incitement to have them dress in kilts and dance to vigorous, upbeat tunes?
