[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2349365, member: 12508"] Back to Mr. Johnson. While I agree that both Trump and Hillary are awful candidates, Johnson isn't really an alternative because he's a Libertarian, a deeply flawed political philosophy. Libertarianism only works (theoretically) when there is a true free market (we don't have one), and people take self-responsibility for their actions and have the freedom and ability to pay for the services they want. That isn't going to happen. In the pretend Libertarian utopia, everyone is free to do what they want (use and buy drugs, patronize legal prostitution and gambling etc.), and they only get the services they are willing to pay for. If you want fire department protection, you have to choose to pay for it. If you don't, the FD stands by and hoses down your neighbor's house while yours burns to the ground. The reality is that most government services are necessary and universal, and that there is no magical "free market" that creates an economic and social nirvans. [/QUOTE]
