But are you sure we "must" have government?

Resolution no 1: Ignore all reasonable and common sense arguments against Libertarianism by calling the protagonist an idiot then burying your head in the sand.

Resolution no 2: Pretend most Libertarians aren't just looking for a means of morally justifying drug taking and sexual deviation.

Resolution no 3: Get angry whenever someone points out that Libertarianism is riddled with contradictions and beyond any meaningful real world application.

Any more?

4. Not engage with morons pretending they're capable of logical debate.

Welcome to my ignore list, by the way. You're in "good" company.

Nooo :S I don't really read many books now, I just.... Study and Research? O_O.... I'm currently studying Geology! :D

As long as it's accurate, I like my information to be organised like this.

I find it a lot more interesting to read through than books for some reason, books tend to just throw tons of writing at you and hope you read it.

lol... philosophy is not easy to organize in that way... unless you count this:

But it's actually pretty short. If you need a break from rocks for a few minutes, give it a read.
