O NOZ!!!! FREDUMZZZ!!!! FREEDUMZ IS SCAREE!!!!!!oneone New Mylot, new series of posts. For our first installment, I bring you this gem, taken from Reason Magazine's facebook page. Freedom scares some people. Some people also don't know what the words "freedom" or "Libertarian" mean. Like this person. As a follow up comment, they pulled the following strawman argument: "So it's okay to have the freedom to go on a shooting rampage? " My final answer to them stated that freedom is "if it doesn't harm another or interfere with the rights or property of another, then leave it alone". *sigh, it's going to be a looooooong election season

@fruitcakeliz I'm a sucker for punishment, though it's pretty entertaining until you realize your talking to people who vote and reproduce.

Some people that are so called afraid of freedom are the same ones that would probably love communism. Maybe they should look up the definition of freedom. This hasn't been a real free country in my opinion. I think e need more freedoms.

More accurately, they would love authoritarianism (also known as totalitarianism). Heck, even Karl Marx hated government and wanted as little of it as possible.
