Also, do you think that in pre-Revolutionary America they were just a little bit worried about Indian raids and slave uprisings? I'm sorry, but such issues are irrelevant to the world of today as we have long since surpassed those points in history. By such logic, we would have basis to deny women the vote because they were previously denied the vote. Quasi-libertarianism is no substitute for critical thinking!
