Larry Pratt did a great job in the 2nd interview last night (1/9/13) in visibly shaking Piers Morgan again. He provided what citizen disarmament proponents claimed they wanted: a calm, rational debate about gun control. Alex Jones may be doing a disservice to the movement, but I haven't seen any evidence for it yet. But I've heard the argument that being a minarchist is detour to anarcho-capitalism (because people are trying to change the system from the inside) and that you can only see the positive externalities (conversions from minarchism to anarchism) and not the amount of people who are deterred by the inconsistencies of minarchism. xelent, do you believe the debate about gun control and individualism has been helpful to the movement? Good parenting is the best way to improve the world. But I would love to know how rational children are going to react to evil. I would guess with revulsion, anger, and contempt without fear. Fear is what is inflicted in those who have been abused and those that still yearn for goodness and overcoming their abuse are those of us who will change the world. Paranoia is a hard thing to overcome. I suspect as much as I like Alex Jones, he has to deal with being scared of evil people. I have a similar problem, which may be why I am defending him. It isn't easy. And it may well be a rational fear as these are people capable of supporting murder. Isn't the anger and contempt of evil people one of the positive outcomes of parenting children without abuse and with love and being nurtured? The main goal being happiness for yourself through virtue.

sagiquarius, do you think the debate that Alex Jones has sparked on gun control and individualism has been helpful to the anarcho-capitalist movement? I am also wondering if we raise children without violence and abuse, how would they react to people like Piers Morgan? Would they get angry as Alex Jones did about the evil in the world and their sources or would they remain calm in the face of sheer evil?
