“You don’t suppose that there might be more than one reason? I agree that there are people who fit the description that you provide. But there are a lot of other reasons as well.”
The only arguments against the libertarian philosophy come from those that think it is OK to use force to accomplish their desires.
The only arguments? You must not get out much.
“I hope that this isn’t a surprise to you, but if 90% of the country thinks that the government should do something, it is rather difficult for the other 10% to stop it (unless that 10% includes judges).”
So you don’t believe in the Constitution? It explicitly denies to “right” of the majority over the minority. You obviously believe in the concept of might makes right. I weep for our world because people like you exist.
No. I recognize that if 90% want something, only bloodshed will prevent it. And the Constitution’s guarantees of minority rights are a bit more limited than you seem to think. There are specific protections written into the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and some later amendments. But it is hardly a generalized guarantee of minority rights in all areas.
