Yeah, it's not like they signed up deliberately for the job and have a will of their own directing their actions, thus making them directly responsible for each and every action they take, like every other human being.
Pretty much, yeah. It's the only system that would make sense, and I see no problems with it. But I can clearly see your colors and I know your kind has shut their mind off a long time ago. Bye
Spending taxpayer dollars for tasks that benefit ALL the people are legitimate.
Correct, except you left out that there exists no circumstance where ALL the people benefit from said spending. And if there were, the people would still be better served by private companies doing the gov't's job better, faster and cheaper. Finally, if what you say were true, then there would be no need to do any gov't regulated spending - people would still be able to pay for such oh-so-necessary and loved-by-all services by themselves. The very fact that you need to force people to do so, and in a very unequal way to boot, proves your concept wrong.
Yah, it's so far right nationalistic that the communist party was in charge until a year ago, illegal aliens are seeping anywhere and everywhere, healthcare is a free for all mess, and some parts of the country actually want to seceed - nationalistic all right.
In my country (and I'm pretty sure in the US too) if he were able to show that you braked out of spite, on purpose or anyway in order to have an accident, you'd be in much greater trouble than the idiot tailgater. So what I do is, I switch on the rear fog lights. Now either the idiot backs off or he suffers from too much light in his eyes. Not as satisfying, I'll give you that...
E.g: get rid of the regulations and red tape preventing communities from building mesh networks and most cities will be covered faster than you can say "gov't managed central planning always fails".
I would never put my money in an unregulated bank, or send premiums to an unregulated insurer, or go to a back-alley doctor.
But you have no problems forcibly preventing me from doing so, should I wish to. That's not even close to not being a libertarian. It's being a dictator.
Pretty much anyone I know who puts up with^W^W does their gaming on consoles plays pirated games. DRM does not work on consoles any more than it does on the PC. I have direct first-hand experience with pirated games for the XBOX and the Wii.
I suggest you get yourself a bloody HOSTS file and quit messing around in the browser. Bonus ad-blocking for the whole PC, or network, even, depending on config.
That'd be the way to go. I guess pretty soon an agreement would be reached, where they'd stop messing around with your content and you'd allow them access again. Market at work!

Effect can be a verb too. It means to produce, to bring into existence.

The government can't do anything better than the private sector with the exception of national defense.
WTF are you on, of course the private sector can and does provide better military/security services than the gov't.
Pretty much, yeah. It's the only system that would make sense, and I see no problems with it. But I can clearly see your colors and I know your kind has shut their mind off a long time ago. Bye
[...] it is absolutely inevitable that implementing some economical control or oversight will lead to a totalitarian regime.
And that's 100% correct. It is, indeed, inevitable. Witness the mess we're currently in ("we" as in, "humankind")
but even then there are things that the government does much better than individuals.
Such as?
So, basically, Bush is a PC and Obama is a Mac?
And that was a strategic error, because?
This is so unbelievably wrong I don't even know where to start. You should treat other like they deserve.
We really don't have the slightest idea what the fuck the NSA does.
That would kind of be the point now, wouldn't it?
What if I actually wanted invaders to succeed? Besides, you're skipping over the other points.
Bzzzz.

this is why using tax payers money to do anything is never right.
Fixed that for you

Am I the only one here who has read the Stealing the network series? Very real tech and good stories to go with that.
Yah right, a market where you have to beg the gov't to please, please, let you hire someone is very free.

Snakes on a plane.
Nuff said.

True, but they're doing it on their own network, not yours. It's obviously hostile behaviour but they don't actually owe you anything.
So, are you saying that NO natives were ever hostile to the coloners?
