Dear Readers,
Virginia libertarian automotive journalist & author Eric Peters wrote this week
about the difference between a "peace officer" and the modern State's version
of "police":
--------
"Republicans, Democrats authoritarian collectivists generally
reflexively dismiss Libertarianism as 'impractical' and 'naive' in
order to avoid discussing the validity of core Libertarian ideals
self ownership, non-aggression. They wave their hands and say, 'it
wont work.'...
But is this true?
One of the most tiresome objections to a free society that is, to a
society based on the Libertarian ideals of self-ownership and
non-aggression is that absent police, there would be no way to
prevent people from running amok and abusing others; that a 'Lord of
the Flies' scenario would ensue, with the strong dominating the weak.
'There would be chaos, insecurity and vigilantism!', they cry.
Nonsense."
