The Libertarian Salad(Lettuce Alone)
In this post, I hope to successfully toss the libertarian's salad and eat their peas. Are these people for real?
The Libertarian does not care about people. He simply cares about his salad. He does not care about massive inequality. He does not care that some people will starve and others will flourish. He does not care about the opportunities of children born into poverty. For him, they are stuck where they are. And this is more than ok - it is "moral." Libertarian morality is like a spaghetti western - derived from a foreign land it pretends to represent intuitive decency. All appears normal until you find out the movie was made in Italy. An American tradition manufactured by an Italian. A moral compass built, not on intuitive senses of morality, but from hell.
Nozick himself recognized the Sergio Leone he was becoming, forcing him to recant some of his views:
"Nozick himself later recanted the extreme libertarian views he had earlier expressed in Anarchy, State, and Utopia in one of his last books, The Examined Life calling those views "seriously inadequate.""

The Libertatis Equilibritas is symbolic of the concept that materialistic concepts like money can coexist in harmony with spiritual and philosophical concept like the Yin-Yang.
But it doesn't matter. The Libertarian does not eat food. Nor does he have emotions. He is as good as Data on star trek - pale dorky android. If you pour water on their heads it messes up their circuitry(*Alert* sounds were heard throughout Kevin Vallia's home porno). Libertarian, don't make me get the hose! I give you life! Now keel!

"Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me. "
