Life as a Service
I've made up my own law of selfish libertarianism - if you'll indulge me:<p>> <i>It's only a liability or an entitlement until you yourself need it - then it's a fucking right.</i><p>For example being a young white male born into a middle class western family affords you the ability to state "all I need is contract law - everything else is just impinging on my rights and forcing me to take on obligations I don't appear to benefit from - I deserve what I earn."<p>No health problems + family and state support + faulty logic + short sightedness + sex/race advantages = libertarianism.<p>Contract law is no more a right than free health care is. But one definitely serves your self interests better. Rights should be based on the veil of ignorance principle - the weak should be protected and the strong should pay for they are one car crash away from welfare.<p>The lense people should be looking through is that of the weakest in society - not having a geek hissy fit and fantasizing of going Galt because you feel others are holding you back.<p>If you don't like it - leave. Somalia is lovely this time of year I hear.
