Quote: What happened to the ideals of "Life, Liberty, & Prosperity"?
The Industrial Revolution.
Libertarians always remind me of this joke.
Mrs. Schwartz goes into Katz' butcher shop and asks: "How much are your kosher chickens?"
Mr. Katz replies: "They are $1.59 per pound."
"Thief," says Mrs. Schwartz. " Goldberg's butcher sells them for $.99 per pound."
Mr. Katz replies amicably, "So....go buy them from Goldberg."
"He doesn't have any more," she replies.
"Ah," says Katz. "If I didn't have any I could sell them for .99 per pound too."
Libertarianism sounds great until you have to try to govern on such a platform. In much the same way as "heaven" sounds great until you think of doing it for fucking eternity.
