A financial one seems to be slowly rolling our way right now.<BR/><BR/>The real question is, after that, will enough people grok the value of liberty for whatever state arises from the ashes to be more freedom respecting?

When there's a crisis, they're ultimately constrained by their morals and means to supply their poison of choice. Yet while some alcoholics may turn to crime to appropriate the funds needed, there's still a moral stigam attatched. With government, there's no moral crime in taking, there's nothing truly stopping the taking, and there's really no visible bottom to the barrel. They can just keep digging deeper until they cause a revolution. I don't think things will go just like that... at least I hope not.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791838562666800883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737941.post-1150841886052087242006-06-20T18:18:00.000-04:002006-06-20T18:18:00.000-04:00Nope.
