In my recent post on libertarianism I suggest that it may well be all but dead in the
United States but it seems that things may well be going the same way over here [England] what with Tony Blairs New labor [and I emphasize the 'new' over the 'labor'] government currently [for all intents and purposes] attempting to repeal human rights laws and with the general shift of things towards arguments such as 'the rules of the game have changed' [proving perhaps that while people are dying politicians really do think of it just as a game] but having said that atleast we have some sort of discussion over it I mean I don't have anything against America [or atleast not for the purposes of this post I don't] but it seems to me that you have some of the best human rights laws in the world but you're government just ignores them and you let them get away with it and any one who suggests that they shouldn't be ignoring these laws or even that the government must adhere to law as much as anyone else is labeled a terrorist or atleast a sympathizer certainly they are seen as being grossly unpatriotic, well you know what we have people like that over here as well and although the government certainly doesn't like them [there was one incident when a 70 year old man was thrown out of a public meeting for shouting 'rubbish!' at jack straw] we don't do anything like that to them we don't slander them and we probably wouldn't get away with it if we tried to [why do I keep on saying we?]. Two things that can allmost allways be said about our politicians is that for a start they're not quite as bad as yours and secondly they will allmost allways defend libertarian ideals while in opposition and allmost allway shit in their faces when their in power!

I like rubbish -- Eddie Izzard kind.
I would rather live in a monarchy than a democracy, because a democracy after awhile turns into chaos run by two year olds who don't want to listen to their parents. U.S. however is a Republic.
i think you should acctually put a 2 year old in chargejust to see what would happen i mean it can't be any worse than bush and might be a whole lot better infact you should put an actual bush in charge no impact is better than bad impact, also in an hereditry monarchy you could actually end up with a 2 year old in charge.
