Absolutes again. Show me that Libertopia is better, and I'll convert.
Make it a practical example.

Not too long ago, you said you'd ruled it out. So, you are still willing
to consider it?  Glad to hear it.

Certainly I'm willing to consider it. I just don't think you'll be
able to convince me.

   Oh, really?!

Why don't all ya libertarians move to one state and get that state to
go libertarian in law. We'll use that as a testcase.

Is there an empty state around?  I guess that would be just as easy as
changing the politics of a country, especially since a state is a part of • a
country (over here).  Of course, I am not against the idea.

When there are few of you, centralising yourselves and starting small
certainly is easier than going for the big bucks right from the start.

   I'd like to see that happen. I am sure the Liberals (Socialists) of this
country would love it, too...  "Wow, those Libertarians in that state are
pulling in a ton of bread... we better go get some of it for the rest of
us."

How would libertopia make the big money less likely to control the
charities?

  The big money wouldn't be centralized as it is now.

Microsoft. IBM. How did the government help them get big money,
exactly?

   What?  We were talking about charities.  The biggest, most centralized
charity in the US being the government.  I said the "big money" wouldn't be
centralized, i.e., it would be in many competing charities' hands, not just
one.  What does that have anything to do with IBM, Microsoft, exactly?

(...) Yes. Really. "Going by past successes", that is called. (...) So what you are really saying is that you'd rather not do it because you're afraid it might not work. Well, your choice. (...)
