I like Penn Jillete's brand of libertarianism. He says he's a classical liberal and is pro roads, schools, libraries, social safety nets and so on. I think Ancap is an interesting mental exercise but it'd be crazy to attempt on a state or national scale. So, I don't see a place for them in national politics, currently. But I'm cool if they wanna go and start their own communes or something.

I thought it had something to do with feet.

According to wikipedia:

Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.


Is 14 generally considered to be 'prepubescent'?

What's a pedo?

My critical thinking professor told an anecdote:

"This is a pen; how do we know? Because it does everything that a pen does. And that's good enough for now, but when the pen gets up and starts talking, it's time to reevaluate whether it's still a pen."

I think that applies here too. We are the sum of our experiences and education is a part of that experience, eventually we have enough knowledge in a particular subject and a concept for gaining new knowledge. So, to a certain extent it never happens, we should always be asking questions.

Didn't they murder a journalist too?
