I wouldnt want to live an a country with all righty's or all lefty's!!

The Libertarian country would fall apart really quickly, I think. I'm always attracted to that set of beliefs, and then get to realizing that I'm pretty sure it's AWESOME in theory, and would be a total disaster in full practice.

And I would love to live in a country with all lefty's -- or pretty much any place where constant arguments about bodily autonomy and equality weren't commonplace, because the right to both was completely understood as so obvious it was painful.

when old people die, the right will be better off. its funny because denying equal rights is so against what conservatism stands for. the pandering to religion thing sickens me. it makes sense though why some christians are so angry and hateful... besides Jesus being about love, the rest of the bible features a very hateful and murderous god.

I think a libertarian country would be just fine, depending on the type of people who choose to live there. you get a group of hard workers, elect Ron Paul, and there ya go! besides, you know pot would be legalized there, so how bad could it be? LOL

Do all transactions have to be in Midas Dollars? Or will gold do?

i'd look forward to the heated debate over whether traffic signals were an unconstitutional government intrusion into individual rights.

i can judge whether it's safe to go or not. i don't need the nanny state forcing my hand.
