-Caveat Lector-
Adam Smith recognized that there were some services which the "free

altogether..or just eliminate those programs that you think are forms
of "stealing"?
Since "government theft" seems to be an integral concept in your
philosophy, please expand on this. Just exactly what do you mean.

gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
