Smidgey; I know longer wish to constantly argue with you. You don't know me, you don't know me at all. I am sorry if what I put offends you, I am only 16; I don't have a monopoly on life.
You said in one post "Ron Paul isn't actually a libertarian" well your wrong, your just an anarchist. I have only one agrument against you and that is, from what I have gathered of you from your posts is that you seem to have an unbalanced philosophy. You freely exercise your rights, good, but you do not consider the right to individual opinion of other people.
I am sure you are aware of extremes. Collectivism/Statism - Anarchism.... well I think it is best to be in the middle. Don't you?
I believe in a balanced Constitution where 'power' is exercised equally and not abused by a single institution (like the Commons in this country), a commonwealth of close nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland possibly) based on individual rights but the respect of the institutions which are established to defend them. I believe in a Constitutional Monarchy where the Head of State is a non-political emobdiment of the State, where the various cultural tradtitions are manifest in a hereditary, ceremonial office. A cultural society where the citizen is free to own property, free to access a free-market and where the Government has no right to put a persons rights on paper and read it to them. The liberty of the citizen is supreme above all 'nitty-gritty' regulatory beuarocracy, but still one must abide by laws set down in order to preserve liberties, just because they are laws this does not of course make them morals, this just protects the morals to which already exist in the universe. For instance because murder is illegal, that does not make it immoral, it is immoral because it violates somebody's rights; the law simply punishes people who violate this in order to protect it.
Where we are a society, but we are truely free. Britain has not achieved this, or atleast not anymore.
I would love to hear what you think.

very impressed.
You may only be 16 Noachian but you already have a good grasp of sensible, equitable, free-thinking, liberal (note:small 'l') - political concepts. Keep an open mind with your eyes open to everything, and I am sure you will continue to mature into a very powerful (in ideas if not direct) and worthwhile political activist in the world.
