Pseudo-Libertarians are willing to accept any amount of threat to their liberties just so long as they don't come from government.
I really enjoy how you perverted the English language to support your point of view.
Libertarian: One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.
What you call true libertarianism isn't libertarianism at all. Libertarians believe that the only role of government is to protect individual rights, and that individual rights can only be violated through the use of force. Corporations and other people are not free to forcibly compell others to deal with them in any way in a libertarian society. Therefore, they couldn't possibly be a threat to personal liberty. If they were a threat in the sense that I just mentioned, a libertarian would view it as proper for the government to stop them.
Agreed.
Everyone who has a decent stereo system spends money on cables. I have a pair of $200 cables to connect my cd transport to my D/A converter. They are 6-9s pure silver, gold plated connections. After all, who pays thousands of dollars for a good sounding stereo, and then connects the components with lamp wire??? It would sound like hell. Obviously if you're connecting your $100 RCA reciever to a $90 Sony CD player, you wouldn't buy good cables: you couldn't tell the difference. But with good components you can.
