<What is a civilized way of life? > Marek, it's one where people deal with each other on a voluntary basis, not a coercive basis. It's the libertarian philosophy where force is not initiated against others. Where people choose what they will do provided it doesn't damage or unreasonably put others at risk. Where people exchange value with each other voluntarily. It makes it easy to see what is civilized and what is not. Killing women who have sex with somebody who is not approved by somebody else comes into the category of uncivilized. Stealing from somebody is uncivilized. You can figure out many examples. Flying a 747 while drunk is uncivilized. You obviously failed to understand my post if you think money can buy the right to murder a wife and boyfriend in my wonderful civilized world. Money didn't get OJ off. A dumb jury let him off. However, as you say, money helps people get away with murder, in both the USA and Nigeria [not to mention NZ] That doesn't make it right. But now you know; Civilization = Libertarianism. libertarianz.org.nz Mqurice
