AAARRGGHHH! Please tell me you don't approve of Ayn Rand?!?

Thommy H:

Isn’t that like asking a conservative if he approves of Hitler?

Hashut’s Blessing:

Back on topic, the price rise of petrol in England is due to stealth taxation, nothing esle. It’s as the congestion charg in London; it’s primary objective is to earn the governemnet money (which they are stupidly [IMO, do not start talking about this] using to fight a war, instead of improving education, healthcare etc etc.) and their “selling” point is as a method of reducing pollution. The congestion charge isn;t high enough to make people say, “I won;t pay that, I’ll walk”.

This country has several laws passed each week and the media has forced us to go, “Oh no, everything’s going badly for us. Let’s just trust the people making it worse to stop doing so.”

The part i hate is eveyone saying wait till summer it going to get real high …So the prices we have now is going to be a bargain.

Correct not a fan of hers. If anything I'm a moderate libertarian then anything else. For instance unlike more liberal types I'm all for ALL of the Bill of Rights unlike those that like to "cherry pick" which ones they like.

In economic matters full government control is as bad as no control, there has to be a happy medium.
