    word.

    I like many Libertarian ideas as Im Green. I would jump on board if there was a shot. It really is scary and hurts the cause when people view Libertarian as a religion that is black and white and Gov't should leave everything completely alone and "the market" will sort it out. Poison 50,000,000 people? Then people wont buy your product.

    the last part there about the poison...are you pointing out the idiocy of this idea or supporting it? Just want to be sure i read it right in context with the first part.

    I like Libertarian, but dont like the black and whiteness of allowing a completely unregulated "free market" check itself. I dont think its sustainable.

    The problem with the 'Free Maket' fan club members is they never seem to address is the greed of the men that run the market. The whole idea of letting the market decide the rules lets the men running the market decide who pockets the money.
    The free market works in favor of the sellers these days... not the buyers. Words like 'honest' and 'trustworthy' no longer exists in the market.
