Here is another good paper on Anarchy if you are interested.
Have you read Rothbards "For a New Liberty"? Did you like it?:

Actually Rothbard is the most Anarcho-Capitalist among the Misesians. Check out the 5-star book reviews:

Hell, If you all don't like it here, go to somewhere that there is no government. Those are the dumbest papers I have ever seen. Where is an anarchist nation doing well? You need government and structure, just not too much. If you think that everyone in the country needs to know everything the government and military is doing, you are wrong. I know plenty of stuff you don't need to know. Not because it is cool, not because it is "National Security" but because someone could get killed if i were to give it to some anti american dumb *** to publish. How do you know that only one report was furnished, leaving out the other one that supported it with additional facts that could be a saving grace. Needless to say, I am sure there are that weren't put on the table to make the US Government and military look less credible. I am sure things aren't as bad as they were spun to be. Hell Asshat, or whatever his name is should go start a country on his own little island, and all his butt buddies can try to sabotage the US and show everyone the "real truth". I am sure the chinese will come save you when someone wants to go blow them up some infedels.

(I put "Assange" in quotes because he is merely the face of Wikileaks, it's like saying that Obama represents all Americans.)

Double fail, really. He's obviously someone desperately trying to hold onto what he's been told, and has no interest in trying to realize what is. I mean, it's already been covered several times in this thread Assange isn't trying to take down the US, nor is he even targetting the US.

For example:
- wealth redistribution schemes (progressive income tax, welfare), that are supposed to "help the poor", end up helping the rich too, because the latter have more effective representation in gov't. Look at how the truly wealth are taxed at low rates because they don't earn wages. When lefties get "tax the rich", all they get is more taxes for high wage earners, who are members of the middle class.
- the dynamism of the market and the sovereignty of consumers always produces superior products over centrally managed schemes, such as health care. Our so-called "private" health care industry is heavily regulated and thus centrally controlled, with the result that prices are protected and kept high by regulations which are lobbied for by the big players, and justified in the name of "public safety".
- and so on
You naturally defend people that think like you. I said it once, If you think it is so wrong... leave. Go live in Somolia
Don't rag on a body of work when you know absolutely nothing about it. Besides, it's pretty non-sequitur to say "you like no government therefore you can't be right that Assange was right".

when SS started. there were 15 people paying in to every one person paying out.
Today, there are 3.5 paying in to every one taking out. Just wait for all the baby boomers to retire....they were smart hippies.

Apparently it is illegal to leak secrets about the iPhone: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/iPhone...13952.html?x=0
