Unabashed fan of the Monkees. I'm 5W 7L in last 12 POTUS elections, sigh. Box wine connoisseur. Tarheel fan with a soft spot for the Wolfpack. Spot remover. #Leguminati 🫘
Now you're attributing things to me that I have not said nor believe.

Again, my point is there has never been a successful purely libertarian society in the world. And you've blathered on and now try to change the subject.

Typical, effing Republican. Nighty night.

Viable for how long? For how many? The billionaires didn't get there without govt. contracts, tax breaks. Money that came from our schools, our roads, our military, our health care, our consumer rights protections funded the modern "Libertarian" oligarchs.

Classic Coke Republican. Not maga.

Okay, but my point isn't whether a Libertarian would argue that the Gilded Age was successful period for some. Also, during that time there were tariffs, property taxes, and excise taxes.

My point is, there has never been a successful purely libertarian society that has succeeded.

So, essentially "libertarianism" that works for a select few and you call it a success for our country as a whole?
December 27, 2025 at 11:19 PM
Didn't occur to me to do so, but you're just a Republican who is okay with abortion, perhaps?

Libertarian is a 20th century term based on 19th century liberalism.

Hamilton designed our financial system. He wanted a strong centralized govt., a nat'l bank, he was quite the statist.

Then of course there was slavery and women were also no better than property. Not exactly the "libertarian" utopia you imply.

Me, either. Every time I hear "Dreaming" I think I've got to listen to Fade Away & Radiate and I never do.

I cannot contemplate the horror by which they died. Nor can I contemplate the horror of their daughter who found them and had to tell the authorities about her brother . . . #AddictionSucks

@bobcesca.bsky.social convinced me it was Daddy, Please Don't Get Drunk this Christmas. I think you might be right.

God, I'm easy.

Yet not one single "libertarian" can point to any successful libertarian society in the history of the world.

I had a great AOR radio station until 1984 that played lots of Traffic, Spencer Davis, Blind Faith. Winwood's solo career was taking off during that time and late at night they'd play the entire 'Arc of a Diver' album.

As is "Light Up or Leave Me Alone" you posted yesterday. It's been my earworm ever since! I hadn't heard it in at least 20 years and can't believe I went that long without listening to this album.

Song that has lyrics you consider poetry.
Most everything The Band sang was sheer poetry. This one breaks my heart every time I hear it.
The Band: "It makes no difference".
