What if the Chilean miners (all up!) had been libertarians? |
|
Because it seems that they survived because they shared, because they formed a society and obeyed its rules, because they contributed what they had for the good and survival of all, not just a greedy, selfish few.
Or am I reading too much into it?

but it is a point well taken and yeah, it would have been survival of the fittest, every man for himself.

3. I'm sure there will be more than one movie made about what "actually" happened... |
|
... but the movie that imagines your scenario might be more entertaining!

said the first thing that occured to them when they realized their situation was that they all needed to share and cooperate if they were going to make it. The workers ahd to share and cooperate as well.
I am just so sorry that the Gulf oil spill was not handled in the same manner. It is an example of just the opposite.

6. What's with all the hate against Libertarians lately? |
|
There are none in the Senate, one in the House, and none that are governors. Let's focus on a group that actually is a threat, the neo-con Republicans.

7. It's a form of 'things could be worse' |
|
It's especially interesting to hear people bitching about Libertarians while our own politicians are organizing things like Catfood Commissions.

8. And none, fortunately, in that mine. |
|
Let's focus on what the OP (me) was discussing, shall we?
On a triumphant night like this, I'm sorry that deflection is your only goal.
