"A new type of superstition has got hold of people's minds, the worship of the state. People demand the exercise of the methods of coercion and compulsion, of violence and threat. Woe to anybody who does not bend his knee to the fashionable idols."~ Ludwig von Mises, from his book Omnipotent Government

"...the worship of the state."

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
That's pretty good going. Old Ludwig Unbending the knee in 1944. I see he recognises that Coercion and violence and compulsion are demanded by the sheep. I don't know how you can stay in that country Peter. Over here in a semi military State I can almost say and do what I want.
