So in closing, nobody here (out of the 3 or so posting) have really made a rationale reason for why Paul's comments were inaccurate. Aside from naive in response and claims of not answering questions, which I think if you actually research more than 2 articles you'd get your answers. So folks over 40 seem to believe business would be racist or bias without government declaration, even though there is only one 'real world' example in the last two decades. If one business equates to all businesses in your mind, I understand why you believe that the government must be involved to clean house. We also discovered that some people can't distinguish between small government and total anarchy
I ddn't loose, and my logic is just fine. My hypothet was based on your premise, and that of Rand Paul, of less government intrusion. But I guess your positions are only applicable in certain situations (libertarian purists believe that the only legitimate function of government is the protection of individuals from aggression, theft, breech of contract, and fraud (is this what you mean by limited government?)). What I was attempting to show you is how much chaos it would be in the world if we took the libertarian approach to government.

Dude, you do not even understand the history of the party to which you espouse its principles. The Libertarian party was founded under the principles of anarchy by members who questioned whether government should exist at all. Do some research. You'll surprise yourself...again by what you don't know.

What's the difference between libertarians and anarchists?

The traditional answer
Libertarians want severely limited government and anarchists want none.

The humanist answer
Libertarians are nonviolent; some anarchists are violent.

The funny answer
Libertarians are to anarchists as nudists are to naked people.They're just middle class & organized so they appear less crazy.

The Party answer (from Andre Marrou)
An anarchist is an extreme libertarian, like a socialist is an extreme democrat, and a fascist is an extreme republican.

The straight answer
Libertarians believe in free markets, private property, and capitalism. Anarchists who believe in these things usually call themselves libertarians.
