Emphasis on "if." I don't know what I said that you're referring to. Do you want to have a conversation? Tell me what you think I said that prompts you to call me a soft libertarian. Soft? Are you calling me fat? I generally think libertarians are full of it.

... might we agree on this: You can’t punch down. A rigged game is wrong, whether you’re a Randian or a Socialist Democrat. We can disagree on how much we are our brothers’ keepers, but can’t we all agree we have a duty to not rig the game to fuck folks out of a fair chance? And maybe if we have that agreement, in the spirit of small steps leading to leaps, can we discuss ways to avoid this unfairness?

Sebby completely revised the post that this was responding to, in case anyone is confused.
Sure. Agree completely. Can't imagine why you think I disagree.
