Texting and Driving is a RIGHT!

[Outis]

As for Lew Rockwell, I wonder why Outis think he's unrealistic in some way.

Let's start with AIDS denialism, promotion of racialist writers (including Murray Rothbard himself, Sam Francis and David Duke, not to mention the denied-but-still-suspicious newsletters from the Ron Paul campaigns), and promoting theonomist authors like Gary North. Citations available for any and all of this, but if you're not already aware of them, then you know nothing about Rockwell.

Well, I'm particularly interested to see if any of my libertarian friends believe it IS a "right" to text and drive.

Things that obviously endanger others like that aren't a "right" any more than you have a "right" to shoot a firearm into an area where people are.

Well, that's Lew Rockwell's opinion

Who cares? Racialist writers that aren't white are promoted all the time with hardly a complaint. The current president spent 20 years in the church of a nutjob who thinks white people created AIDS to kill black people. If David Duke was criticizing whites instead of blacks he'd be a respected national figure.

Yes because two wrongs totally make a right.

Yeah! "Old School" says your right to swing your fist stops at the tip of my nose.

Two wrongs certainly make for a more informative debate than one wrong and one "right"

Those are not examples of Lew Rockwell's op-eds/arguments being unrealistic.

I would like to respond to the rest of the quote, but this is not the thread for it. Many readers may not want Outis' posts that attack libertarianism and my reactions to them. Still, I think I can suggest you're trying to poison the well.

You find the arguments presented realistic?

And now, people, you know why there are very few issues that I will discuss with libertarians.

Look up Thomas Sowell, Wilton Alston, and Walter E. Williams. Gaze in stupefaction at their pictures and the verve with which they advance arguments that look libertarian. Not necessarily the only blacks to write for good ol' Lewie. And black supporters for Ron Paul are welcome!

What about taking a nap while driving? Is that OK? zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

Anyone showing such want of common sense should not be allowed to drive.

Hmmm ... sounded awfully statist to me.
