[extropy-chat] Why I am No Longer a Libertarian Either...

[Robert Lindauer]

For the record, I firmly believe every living person has a God given 
right to own a nuclear weapon.  I think you may have misunderstood the 
context, I wasn't clear. "I have doubts about putting large 
weapons-systems in the hands of very powerful vicious people with no 
obvious way to control what they do."  Is the intended meaning of the 
sentence.

In particular, giving Politticans control over large-scale military 
might is like giving a mass murderer a chainsaw.  They're bound to use 
it, you may not like what they do with it, you may not be able to stop 
them, and somebody's definitely goingo die.
