And the Taliban only execute gays where there is evidence of homosexuality.
Sorry, the "evidence" bit by itself doesn't make me think that the law is justified.
- tptacek 17y agoIsn't your argument just a slippy slope toward anarcho-capitalism? The workings of the legal system are too complex and error-prone for us to regulate things? It takes a long time to litigate environmental cases too. Should Dow be allowed to dump carcinogens into our rivers?
- Semiapies 17y agoPreferring that a law be justified is anarcho-capitalistic? Huh.
- tptacek 17y agoThe question wasn't whether the law could be justified; the question was whether the government, as the arguer conceived of it, was competent to enforce the law. The same argument could be applied to many other complex technical subjects which we clearly do need to regulate. Also: anarcho-capitalism, silly? Of course it is. Slippery slopes usually lead somewhere silly.
