Life as a Service
I've made up my own law of selfish libertarianism - if you'll indulge me:> It's only a liability or an entitlement until you yourself need it - then it's a fucking right.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."No health problems + family and state support + faulty logic + short sightedness + sex/race advantages = libertarianism.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.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.If you don't like it - leave. Somalia is lovely this time of year I hear.
