Well, thank God. I thought those poor, poor tongueless slaves were going to have to do even MORE work.
Alrighty, folks. I know it may seem as if I’ve abandoned this thread. This is because someone pointed out to me something that was quite true, and I’m a bit embarrassed about the matter. I am currently reading “Chaos Theory”, and will, from there, look into some of Rothbard’s work on Anarchy. If y’all could give me suggestions on what the seminal work on this subject is, please do. See, I have been basing my perceptions on how well the anarchist argument is established on the postings on these boards, and I gather the justifications are too complex to be contained within the spaces provided here. Well, in not doing my research first, I’ve made myself look something of a fool. In any case, if I still am a minarchist when I am through reading these things, I shall be able to provide a much more effective argument against anarchy.
JCF,
Hats off to you! That was handsomely spoken. Glad to have you for a neighbor.

Not foolish, it’s an understandable mistake that comes with the nature of posting on forums. Typically, forum users come from varying backgrounds and are not at all homogenous. Get two people from a separate background to argue over the internets and you’re asking for nothing but troubles.
Good luck with your quest for knowledge, may it bring you to a place of satisfaction in your own education!
P.S. The jokes are all in good fun. It’s just that we’ve heard similar objections so many times, they get to be somewhat cliche to those more experienced with e-libertarianism.
Building the roads is usually the one heard most often, but it seems that you’ve at least put some effort into yours and that’s more than enough to deserve respect.
