The most effective way to do it, it seems, is to adhere rigorously to the Socratic method, but that requires patience and discipline. You have to be prepared to resist instantly calling them on whatever horse dooky they speak, and instead lead them on a course of questions aimed at annoying them to death.Geoarrgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427326023169295918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-35934454184506795232011-09-16T10:41:37.967-07:002011-09-16T10:41:37.967-07:00Also, I'll presume she's a mom.

In fact, this is a core principle of socialism. Capitalism has of course, been based on the concept of private property. Marx realized private property had to be destroyed, to allow socialism to take place. <br />sth, I agree that most people seem to have no idea, regarding the benefits of private property. Without private property, there can be no economic growth in a society. Check out life in North Korea, for a living example of no private property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-12354630638231589662011-09-15T14:16:47.059-07:002011-09-15T14:16:47.059-07:00Yep, I've met plenty of people 10 to 20 years ...Yep, I've met plenty of people 10 to 20 years older than me that are oblivious to the ideas you stated in your post. <br /><br />Voting is only worthwhile when a majority of people understand the idea of private property and personal responsibility.

There are people in their 50s and 60s who have the mindset of a teenager. We call them "Boomers."<br /><br />Unfortunately it seems that some people grow up on their own terms, while other people only grow up when forced to by the harsh reality of life. If they never meet that harsh reality, they never grow up. Then they go vote.Archnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-21255727389073447022011-09-15T12:45:28.079-07:002011-09-15T12:45:28.079-07:00This is huge problem in society.

So long as the action does not harm other people, they should be free to do as they please.<br />Alcohol prohibition in the 1920s, and the current War On Drugs, are current examples of this social tendency. Religious people knocking on my door, is another example. Why do so many religious folks, want me to agree with their own personal point of view? Why do they care so much about what other people think?<br /><br />Erosion of personal freedoms in the current nanny state, is a serious problem. The US federal government even regulates the water flow on household toilets. Light bulbs, smoking, the list goes on and on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-17532648636184195732011-09-15T12:13:43.700-07:002011-09-15T12:13:43.700-07:00The majority of women vote for this stuff.

I guess the difference between a libertarian and a leftist (the majority of women) is: Libertarian:I should be able to do whatever I want as long as I pay the consequences. Leftist :I should be able to whatever I want, you should pay for it, AND I can make you do whatever I want.Bullitt315https://www.blogger.com/profile/02614321249181220747noreply@blogger.com
