Where is this blatant and unjustified attack coming from?   
Libertarians stand firmly against fraud.   Fraud is not a natural by  
product of the free market (that we don't remotely have).    Do you  
believe that aur Big Government is causing no "misery and unhappiness  
of millions of people"?   You silly characterization may come across  
any old way you constructed it to come across.  So what?
