Going Galt has such a great promise for internet trolls. They say, for example, you should stop taking public transit to liberate yourself from subsidizing collectivist transit.

But that’s just a cop-out. If you want to do it right, you should stop driving on taxpayer-financed roads and obeying taxpayer-financed traffic laws. And definitely don’t use those meddlesome taxpayer-funded ambulances if you crash your car and get injured, or if someone beats you senseless for driving against the light down the sidewalk.

If you avoid using the taxpayer-funded grid to get taxpayer-subsidized electricity from coddled and over-regulated utilities, and switch to wood for heat and candles for lighting, and your house catches fire, be sure to put the fire out yourself rather than relying on your local corrupt taxpayer-funded fire departments.

And so forth…

Just letting you know that both this entry and your del.icio.us links show up in the RSS feed, making the post redundant… might want to remove one of the two. ;-)

Aaron — Okay you talked me out of it.
More seriously — good points, I obviously agree.

Joshua — Yes, thanks. As noted, still working out kinks. Sorry for the inconvenience — there’s no tech squad here, it’s just me incompetently troubleshooting my way through stuff till I finally have time to (accidentally) get it right. Sorry.
