I guess you could say that I lack-o-belief in â??anarchyâ? the same way that an Atheist lacks-o-belief in â??Godâ?.

I think â??Anarchyâ? is a fantasy. I donâ??t believe that it exist in the manner that self-professed â??Anarchistâ? (like Mr. Ghertner) describe. I would argue that the entire concept is logically inconsistent.

I think “democracy” is a fantasy and is logically inconsistent. Anarchy makes more sense to me. Prove how I am wrong, great philosopher.

“It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a “dismal science.” But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.”

- Murray Rothbard

( … classic song by Barnes & Barnes starts).

But we still love you.

You’re damn near monkey island good.

“Cato’s trade guys have more important things to do than coordinate “attacks” in the discussion threads of obscure blogs. Micha, Jonathan and the gang…”

…obviously don’t. Yeah, we read you loud and clear Mr. Backhand, Mr. $13 Million, Mr. TV Star….

And, as for Monkey Island Good, I like it. Since Rush gets Ditto-heads, Radley should get fish-wielders. I’ll wave a fish for Radley.

(note to American JobLog people: I am not, nor have I ever been, affiliated with the Cato Institute. Nor can you hold my opinions against my employer because I don’t have one. Thanks!)

No, I heard you right the first time.

Then I said:

You seem to be assuming that some memes are more solid (tangible) than others.

I would love to hear how you came to that conclusion?

To say it’s damn near libel is way over the top. If knuckleheaded political debate were libel…

How many time did you actually throw down the gauntlet anyway? The press relese implies you threw it down at least twice. Do you plan to throw it down again?

“As much as I agree with the Agitator’s side here — I was one of the participants in the original thread — I did find some of Micha Ghertner’s anti-nation-state statements a tad offputting, and I don’t see why it was out of bounds for the press release to quote Ghertner.”

Um, Micha can be called to task for his expressed views, sure, but don’t you find it a little ridiculous that his views are offered as newsworthy because he’s applied for an internship with Cato?

Does anyone have a press release blog template for pMachine or MT?

Heh. Heh.

“And now for the story”

Please. How about “And now for our self-serving press release wherein we will obscure the difference between Radley’s work for Cato, and his hobby (?) as a blogger to make us look like the tiny little underdog.”

Physical property is tangible.
Intellectual property is intangible.
