Mighty lofty ideals you have..."for the thread". Methinks you and Dick Cheney have a lot in common. lewrockwell.com Other social and political issues can be traced back to der Fuhrer. A dedicated nonsmoker and public health advocate, he supported government eugenics and cancer research (although opposing the use of animals in such research); restrictions on the use of asbestos, pesticides, radiation, and tobacco; government established occupational health and safety standards; environmental and conservationist programs, as well as the promotion of whole-grain foods and soybeans. He also put into effect one of the most pervasive gun-control programs. Does this mean that one who favors any programs such as these is a Nazi, an apologist for the horrors for which this man was responsible? Of course not. What it does mean, however, is that his programs emerged from a mindset quite similar to one that has been prevalent in modern society for many decades: a desire to cleanse the world of any and all imperfections and undesirable elements. In modern obsessions with health – wherein any condition or practice that renders the world less than one hundred percent hygienic must be forcefully eradicated – we find the same mania for sterilization that drove Hitler. Such an attitude was well-expressed by the late Alan Watts who spoke of people who want "to scrub the universe."

>>What's YOUR view? Should criminals be free to do as they will? What's the "pure" libertarian position?<< that's a good question... what happens when "criminal" and "police" are synonymous? what happens when "criminal" and "government agency" are synonymous? the BD situation was very poorly executed. retards on parade. the united states is becoming more and more fascist over time. nothing drastic... until it will become drastic.
