also the second paragraph of this is completely inane. its perfectly conceivable that a democracy could exist where u raped all ppl of a certain color on tuesday. the democratic process isnt inherently fair. its inherently democratic.
Stick to the point. The point is that you brought up professional sports as an example, and I said that even in a man made sport, with man made rules, one team wins and one team loses.
This is by no means clear or established.
Neither is this.
So either I do what the majority says - or rather, the plurality backed up by those with guns - or I leave? That may be REALITY, but it certainly isn't MORALITY.
So, then, you don't believe I have a right to property. By extension, then, you don't either. So, then, if I can get a law passed saying that I can come into your house, take all your possessions, empty your bank accounts, and steal your car, you'll be alright with that?
Such a law as you described seems unfair, but then again, in a Democracy, such laws that are deemed unfair generally don't exist. Our system of government has checks and balances designed to protect the minority from being treated unfairly, but it isn't perfect. But it is the BEST SYSTEM. You libertarian ideology does not protect against abuses. In fact, such a system, in reality, would be more abusive and unfair than what we currently have! Whether you like the government or not, it's the only thing that ensures your freedoms. Sure, you can wish and want your anarcho-libertarian dream-world; but in such a system, you are the only one who can protect your rights. Personally, I want the entire US military backed with NUCLEAR WEAPONS ensuring my freedom instead of a few guns in my basement.
