Rant of the Day
—————–

I went to a local libertarian party meetup. I was able to talk to a couple of guys who used to run as candidates in the local elections. To get to the point, here are some of the questions raised and answers (shortened and abbreviated) given.

Do you believe that 9-11 was an inside job?
-Whether or not the conspiracy theories are true, the current size of government makes it possible to pull off such a conspiracy. With a small government, conspiracies like that cannot be pulled off.

What do you think of alternative technologies like nuclear, solar, wind, etc?
-Its not the job of the government to support or discourage people from those things. Taxpayer money wont be given to private companies.

What do you think of bailouts?
- Its not the job of the government to give money to banks and businesses that are failing. Do not intervene in the economy.

How do you solve the economic crisis?
- tax cuts and removal of regulations. Decreased taxes lead to a decreased size of government as well as more money in the hands of the people (also helps solve poverty and unemployment). Then the economy will correct itself.

How do you promote justice?
- remove the government monopoly of force. Every citizen with no criminal record should be armed.

How do you protect the youth from drugs?
- drug prohibition only increases the cost of drugs and opens the way for corruption in the government and the police. By legalizing drugs, you drive down the price of drugs until you put the gangs out of business. Also, its the job of the parents and not the government to protect the kids from drugs. The state is not your nanny.

@Akki333, Warpedwenger, ghostrunner, croxtonhas, SarahN, trevoramueller, LanceDanger, worstcase, Whirlwynd - thanks for commenting.

@JustNoPoint, BlkKnight - this fight is far from over.

@Walrus - check out my other comics: Brood Knight has more action but the action will soon pick up in this comic.

@Jonko - I made a vow that I won't fall for a girl whose eyes aren't open (or willing to be opened). Falling in love isn't easy. :)

@krisikas - it will be explained in succeeding pages.

@Peipei - I still remember that day I broke up with my ex-gf. It almost drove me to complete suicidal insanity. I was hurt on a spiritual level so much that I wasn't able to function normally for at least 3 months. But at least, that experience was one of the things that triggered the opening of my eyes.

@patoborracho - I feel horny maybe for 10 minutes at the most. But when reason takes over, she's just like any other human on this planet. I don't care who you are or how you look like. You're not a goddess and your crap isn't made of gold. :)
