Entry: Two New Myth-Busting Books Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/two_new_myth_busting_books#4920 Post contents: That Congress has authority over interstate commerce? It'd better have, because who else could stop states from putting tariffs against each other??? The problem with libertarians is that they think that an authoritarian alternative is avoided, it will be sustituted by a more liberty-loving one. That doesn't work out that way. You remove a tyrannical central government and put **nothing** in its place, and be ready for a lot of local tyrants who can be a lot more unbearable than the central government because a) they are a lot closer by and b) can dedicate more time to screwing you up. AS the Yiddish blessing for the Tsar was "G*d, keep the Tsar well and healthy, and away from us." You can see it in a forest. If a tree falls, it is not substituted by a healthy tree, or by a more desirable tree. It is substituted by fungi, moss, lichens, ferns, weeds, a shrub or two, and only with the years you may get another tree, and if that tree is a more desirable one, that will be the luck of the draw.
