Yikes, so we become a police state or we go roll things back 5000 years. Amazing.
It's like the United States wasn't a world power and thriving before the New Deal.
- panzagl 14y agoThe United States wasn't a world power or thriving before the New Deal. It was in the middle of the Great Depression and a growing wave of isolationism. Of course, it was in pretty much the same place after the New Deal as well- World War II was required to take care of both.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoWhat part of rising population densities do you not get? We will become more urbanized, you just can't support 4 or 500 million Americans rurally. As we live more closely together, issues that would otherwise be benign or insignificant become significant. Couple that with globalization, and what are otherwise local problems have become global ones. From the libertarian perspective, we've been going downhill ever since the first city state kings appeared. People during the 30s were probably bitching about how it was much better in the 1870s, and so on.
