    See, I see that as just deciding what flavor of authoritarian you are and that doesn't really matter to me. I'm not a full on anarchist because anarchy is only stable until you get human beings involved. What I am is a minimalist who believes government should have no power except what is absolutely necessary. Not that there should only be laws to cover what is absolutely necessary but that the government should be explicitly forbidden from from creating any others.

    I don't have a problem debating what constitutes "absolutely necessary" on any given specific issue but anyone looking to a categorization for what they should believe has turned their brain off and isn't worth debating; they've outsourced their ability to think, so why should I listen to opinions with no thought behind them?
