Fair enough that Fakebook and Ogle are in bed with government, but at the same time, is there any world you can conceive of where they would not be, libertarian or otherwise? Indeed a trim, lean, efficient government would likewise have a trim, lean, efficient and therefore terrifying secret service that would be inside all of these organisations anyway. And that's the best position you can imagine.

Your whole post was fantastic, but especially the part I kept here.

I certainly don't agree with most of what you wrote, especially that the existence of Google renders the observations of Rothbard and Mises passe.

However, you made an excellent argument and excellent points and it got me thinking like crazy. I don't think it derailed the thread -- it most definitely added to it.
