    I don't Libertarianism has much t'do with a any particular brand of political ideology; it's just a way of life, doncha think?


    The closest thing is probably objectivism.
    And freedom is not only a "way of life", its the only way to live.:1:

    Nah. Objectivism is the basis of what we call science; as in "objective" (dispassionate).

    An' yer right: 'Tis the only way t' live....

    BRING OUT THE TROLLOPS!

    I AM TALKING ABOUT the philosophy of objectivism, which was created by Nanthaniel Braden and Ayn Rand.
    Read the fountainhead or Atlas shurgged sometimes.
    Might learn something.:1:

    Yeah, that's explains why the biggest out-of-state TAMU alumni chapter is in lovely Bakersfield!

    That brand of determinism sold by Rand is the biggest pile of steaming, garbarge I've ever read. You'd get just as much "truth" out of the Norse Myths or the tales of Arthur Pendragon and his Knights of the Round Table puhlease...

    I'm afraid you're going to have to do better than that Wooch. TAMU? The alumni there #1. don't even know how to start a fire, and #B, the recent grads don't know how to fly helicopters. If you're ever in Bakersfield, always look up! :yikes:

    Couldn't agree more with your first sentence. :thumbsup: However I'd say you'll get more truth and much more enjoyment from Norse myths or the Arthurian legends.

    The notion the Objectivist anarcho-captitalism could actually work in practice is IDIOTIC. Recent events have demonstrated this.

    Read them and besides being bored enough to actually want to start smoking pot (thanks for the visual), I didn't learn much. As the rest of the folks have said, it simply does not apply to reality, and frankly Rand could have explained this in less than 1000+ pages.

    Now could you guys grow up and stop talking about how big your "dingies" are. Jeez.
    :shocked:

    No, it just illustrates what parts of Cali draws the Tejans. I will say that I've been to both places, and I can see why Tejans are drawn to Bakersfield. :cool:
