The Road to Serfdom
Not often do I descend into the murky depths of libertarianism--it makes me feel dirty--but when I stumbled across a cartoon version of Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" I just had to read it. Given the average intelligence of a libertarian, a cartoon seems the perfect medium.
The best summation of libertarianism I've ever run across is:
The best summation of libertarianism I've ever run across is:
Government is the Great Satan. All Evil comes from Government, and all Good from the Market, according to the Ayatollah Rand.

Yept, seems right.
You reference a cartoon version of the Road to Serfdom and then mislead the reader into believing that the quotation you include comes from that piece - when, in fact, it comes from a criticism of libertarianism by one of its long standing enemies.
A weak stomach AND intellectual dishonesty, what a combination.

Thank you Craig for making my point about the relative intelligence of your average libertarian.
I did not say libertarianism made me feel sick, it makes me feel dirty. There are pretty good arguments that, under most religious codes, libertarianism is a sin. The naked exploitation of the poor by the rich doesn't exactly leave me with a all-spring-clean feeling.
A new paragraph often signifies a new point in a written work. Further, a hyperlink counts as a reference. Perhaps I should have of used seperate headings and drawn some pretty pictures.
"Yept", point made. Thanks.
