I've not heard "avails" or "germane" used in a convo before in my life I think. Maybe I heard the word avails in some classic book I was reading like Frankenstein or Dracula.
I'll see if I can squeeze these words into some convos in the next few days myself.
I don't own a dictionary. I do own books.

At least anarchy realises there needs to be something to mitigate the problems of greed and cheating within the system (but then spoils it all by saying "in our socialist utopia, people will shed these problems automatically"), whereas libertarians look to greed to be the break on cheating.
If you're going to be calling people "stupid", you'd ought to at least be able to spell a one-syllable, five-letter word like brake.
A) It's not spelling it's my fat fingers on a touch phone and b) there are two flavours of libertarian, rich greedy bastards, and those without the sense to realise that they'd be servants or slaves.
We've gone through a libertarian paradise a few times before. For the majority it was not a nice place at all. If you want a fair crack at the whip you need a big nosey and interfering government.
