(...) This not true Larry. Where did I say that? I rejected the whole foolish notion - not its outcome. If I did take part, I would "abide by such an outcome". But I am not, so this is not an issue. Perhaps you could run alone: Vote 1) Larry Stays (...) (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Freedom vs. Wellfare
 
(...) I think the issue here is the fact that the state collects taxes, and uses them as *it* sees fit. In a free market, everyone would still have the right to help the abandoned child as they see fit, without the state "forcing" them to. Where (...)

Any truth in this one - Cuba as a terrostist state. This letter appeared in a UK newspaper yesterday. I just wondered if there was any truth in it. Here it is; ==+== Cuba wants justice too.

(...) The fact is Larry a lot of people died because of that action. I have seen so credible report which supports it. But still you pour cold water on it, but yet you are willing to accept the word of a politician on similar issues. Scott A (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Freedom vs. Wellfare

Your contributions have been extremely well thought out and useful and you are now getting to a point that I have been looking for a reasonable way to raise to hear Larry's 'total free market' view on.

  Re: Freedom vs. Wellfare
 
Hello Larry, hello everybody, (...) So the goods you need to be kept alive (in a decent way, I would add) are not rights?

  Re: Gotta love Oracle...
 
(...) But who, then, decides what those rights should be. You? Me? Thinking over it, I would prefer the second ;-) :wq Horst (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Violence created by presence of guns? (was: Gotta love Oracle...)
 
Hello, (...) Point missed. What I just say is this: Human interaction is complex, and it has been sufficiently proven that complex systems don't react to a single stimulus with a single, easily predictable response. In other words, simplistic (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
