Well he's right though. They are literaly monsters. Zombies, Werewolves, Vampires and the odd manifestation of a demonic presence.

I though they were just sheeple.

Have you ever looked into the eyes of a sheep? The only place I've seen a more powerful form of pure malevolence was in the form of a Boston Train Conductor.

I haven't been active here for personal reasons, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon, but I felt I had to leave this here. To be honest, it pains me to post this, since I've admired this guy's paleontological work for a while now and even corresponded with him by email a couple of times, during which he was very nice and helpful. However, his views on this issue are just wrong. While I don't particularly like fossils being auctioned off to the highest bidder, it is nothing worth violating anyone's property rights for. Doing what is suggested here would be a terrible abuse of eminent domain, a concept I think is bullshit to begin with. Again, I take no pleasure whatsoever in putting this here. I'm sorry if I'm being overly apologetic, but this really hurts me on a personal level.

@FeatheredTerror--nice to hear from you again. And sorry you can't be here more often.  Speaking of personal level stuff...

The billboard/posting area of my college's electrical engineering building hallways had a newspaper article blaming Mr. Rogers and his "you're special" stuff for the reason why college students are entitled....I wish I was making that up.

Do any of you ever check out the Libertarian subreddits? They literally live in a fantasy world. And, yes, I know how to properly use the word literally.
Their arguments are based solely on hypothetical situations and fairy tales. They'd never make it past freshman level political science.

In the real world, we point to actual historic problems that have been caused by actual policies, or lack of policies. We base decisions on observations of what works, and has worked in the past. Alternately, we base them on what doesn't work, now or in the past.

Read any Libertarians' posts, and you'll get statements like "what if you were forced to buy only one kind of shoes, from one company." Then they'd go on to explain how this scenario backs up their beliefs. Well, yeah, fine, but nobody is forcing you to buy shoes of any kind.

I'm not ignoring the power of parables, but in the world of global politics, we should be able to look at hard facts from the real world, not some make believe crap that says what we want it to say.
Their inability to see anything other than extremes is also baffling. They're frustrated with the government, but they have no desire to reform it. If they don't like government, then the logical response is to eliminate it from the face of the earth. Never mind the fact that it's not feasible, and they can't point to a single real-world example of of a Libertarian state.

Even the most far left liberal can't drag up any support for eliminating capitalism, even though it is a destructive force (as well as a constructive one). Yet they have an entire movement that thinks it's a good idea to eliminate government, despite a total lack of evidence that it could work.

Sweet Celestia, the projection is strong with this one!

For those who haven't clicked on the link--warning epic fails...

The 28th Amendment, as drafted, will implement a series of common sense gun laws and implement new revenue streams for Americans.

The 12 provisions below will work to make America a more safe place by eliminating the obviously failed experiment that is the second amendment.

    The second amendment of the Constitution of the United States, being no longer necessary to a secure state is hereby nullified.
    The production and sale of new firearms, being defined as a rifle, pistol, or other gun, will be disallowed until a time in which the number of firearms in circulation is equal to 50% of the population as determined by the Census.
    No gun may reside in the same building as anyone who has failed a mental health evaluation, as performed by a medical professional, as approved by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).
    A mental health examination, as performed by a medical professional approved by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) must be passed in order to receive a firearms license.
    An income tax equal to 4% of an individual's income will be assessed by all gun owners.  In states which were at any point in time a part of the Confederate States of America, this tax shall be equal to 10% of an individual's income.  Taxes levied under this amendment shall be appropriated in equal portions to programs to expand Affirmative Action programs and begin to pay reparations to the descendants of African slaves.
    Any person making the choice to own a firearm must carry $250,000 worth of liability insurance for each weapon owned.  This insurance must be provided by a publicly owned insurance company to be established.
    All firearms must be retrofitted with both a global positioning transmitter as well as a fingerprint activated locking mechanism.  Failure to comply with this provision will result in a fine, prison time, and forfeiture of the privilege of firearm ownership.
    The National Rifle Association, Michigan Militia, and other "gun rights" groups shall be considered terrorist operations.
    United States Marshals will be randomly placed at various "sporting venues," where a firearm could be otherwise legally discharged.  This could include publicly or privately owned venues where the following (but not limited to) take place:  hunting areas, shooting ranges.
    In a calendar year, no person may buy more than 100 rounds of ammunition.
    Assault rifles, semi-automatic, and automatic weapons, as well as those not fitted with GPS and trigger locking devices will be immediately seized by the government.  The owner will be compensated fair market value of the weapon, minus the cost of the seizure operation.
    President Obama will establish a Secretary of Firearm management.  This office will have final say over future gun regulation to prevent against rampant innovation that was not forseen by the second amendment.

You've seen our very easy to implement common sense solutions!  Now SIGN THE PETITION!

As Hawkeye said, all of those come with the implicit fine print of "does not apply to the state" and that's where the ideas fail right out of the gate.
