"Strange to say, however, the same ideas once trotted out to justify
opposition to the abolition of slavery are now routinely trotted out
to justify opposition to the abolition of government (as we know it).
Libertarian anarchists bold enough to have publicly advanced their
proposal for abolishing the state will have encountered many, if not
all, of the arguments used for centuries to prop up
slavery." (08/20/09)
