Scott in a lighter mood:
============
See, Scott, I acknowledge when you've got some really good ideas.
[And,
yes, I agree with you on the police issue.]

Well, there you go. See what happens when you don't take it personally?

===============

As you know, there's nothing to take personally here. I think we've
agreed on a few issues... charging the *******s who insist on watering
their lawns in the desert and filling up their huge swimming pools...
not using property taxes to fund schooling (or just about anything --
it's a very "unfair" tax as it doesn't do a good job of "measuring"
anything... )... I think there was at least one other topic... did we
talk about legalization of MJ and agree (I can't recall)...

Good to see you coming over to the bright side GRIN

True. Pity we can't say the same of Netwits like Michael Daly.

I don¹t recall either, but that's an easy one: Yes, but with some
reservations...

Given your self-imposed blindness, we can all ignore what you call.

libertarianism and find common ground... waddya think? Do you fancy
yourself a social libertarian?=20

Not really. I do admire some libertarian principles, but not all, or even
most of them. They unfortunately mix in some really stupid ideas with some
very good ones. Libertarian dogma has one prime failu it presumes the
universal existence of something that is in fact pretty rare in human
behavior: altruism.

I don¹t think there's a category for my political beliefs. I subscribe to
some parts of many different philosophies. If I have a core belief, it's one
of ordered individual liberty that recognizes some vital truths of human
nature, combined with a strong belief in personal accountability and
responsibility, and a disdain for whining, excuses and avoidance of
consequences.

I lean to libertarian views when it comes to "victimless crimes". I find
that, as a society, we cause ourselves all sorts of headaches by trying
to impose "moral" values on everyone. Values that intrude into the
bedroom. Values that presume to know what people ought to (or not)
ingest. etc
