    There's a huge difference between old-school libertarians and flat-out anarchists. The former believes in a rule of law, much more so than the Demopublicans.

    If there were frequent pirate attacks in U.S. coastal waters 200 years ago, do you really think people would just let it happen?

  2. Good point. I'd like to add Lobbyists to your list. Bribes = insurance premiums, oh yes, "Permits" fees to allow you to build and operate.

  3. 200 years ago, white american/british seafarers WERE the pirates, scourge of land and sea, only by naval and military superiority were they not formally known as pirates or criminals.

    Worth a thought.
