Something For XEL

Xel, reading a number of your statements, I can see that you aren't very big on libertarian PRINCIPLES, and that you are buying into utilitarian ideas.  I'd like to take the time to point you in the direction of this little video I found on youtube here...

Pay attention to what he is saying about principles & utilitarianism, as I think this is a crucial difference between the way you think, and the way I think. 

If you and I agree on something, say, the legalization of drugs, but we disagree with each other on WHY drugs should be legalized, there will likely be other ways in which we don't see eye to eye. 

You may also want to hear what he says about regulation of the economy, libertarianism, crime, etc.

>>30 "I also support total separation of religion and state(ie. removing tax cuts for religious institutions)."

Collecting taxes on religious institutions would create a beaurocratic nightmare.  The government, precisely in order to SHOW separation of church and state, would have to absolutely prove each and every year that no religion was taxed more than any other.  Removing these institutions from the tax code entirely is precisely what separates church and state.
