    I remember when that big bad federal government bullied poor little states about slavery. What a travesty that was. Then there was all those civilizations who went from unorganized nomads to having civilization. Just awful. You're right, we should follow Somalia's lead.

    You do understand that Somalia has a government and its not a libertarian paradise.

    Governments that operate with respect to individual's rights is the best. However governments can always do great evils especially once they start trying to create Utopias and push the greater good over individuals

    Let's be clear. I don't give a rats ass about what you or any of your cronies perceive to be value. Utility is nice. It's one of a huge number of valuation metrics.

    Value created=Utility-cost (consumer side)+ profit (producer side) in an economy like ours based on free exchange.

    Once people realize utopia isn't a thing we can create through more government regulations, we'll be alright
