Maybe we'd be better off if they didn't have time for governance- after all, that government is best which governs least.


By that standard, Somalia has a fabulous government.




it has a topnotch system of capitalism...


anyone up to becoming pirates, arrr??? :pirat:


Funny enough...

Quote:
Economist Alex Tabarrok has claimed that Somalia in its stateless period provided a "unique test of the theory of anarchy", in some aspects near of that espoused by anarcho-capitalists David D. Friedman and Murray Rothbard,[5] ...


Wikipedia

It should be interesting to see, as anarcho-capitalists pride themselves as being the "truest" and "purest" proponents of a free market.

If people would read Revelation in the Bible they would know that.
But then nobody paid attention anyway.


I know if only they would listen they would also know that the earth is only 5500 years old, humanity is descended from Adam and Eve ( ahh incest Fun for all the Family), and all those dinosaur bones are just a naughty little April fools day prank.
