(6,151 posts)As freshwest noted, the issue is the insanity in our society. When you deny the existence of valid intellectual property rights, for instance, you're also a striking example of intellectual dishonesty and therefore a large part of the overall problem because you're pushing down a dangerous steep and slippery slope. Would you like it if I decided that included the non-existence of other property rights such as real estate or financial accounts and decided to just help myself at your expense? I think not! Theft is theft, buster. No way you can dress that one up no matter how much paint and perfume you pour on it.
Obviously I'm neither libertarian, anarchist, nor nihilist. But you should think about the logical consequences of ideas before you pollute the atmosphere with garbage. Otherwise all the other lofty talk you dish out is nothing more than tinkling brass. I know an empty suit when I see one.
