RE: UKNM: remove VAT from buying computers and using the Net...

[Lee Bryant]

Steve,


please speak for yourself when you say libertarianism is the politics of the

net -- that's total bollocks. The politics of the net is the politics of the

wider world; just because the net developed out of the US military

industrial complex and the Californian Ideology doesn't mean it stays that

way. The UK and Europe have already brought their own ideas and cultures

online, so too are others. Wait for China to come online and then say

'libertarianism is the politics of the net'.


I would suggest that you don't know your history, and I think Stefan's point

was well made.


All the Best,

errrr no libertarianism means no (or minimal) government.


since when did private enterprise in the supply of food mean you have

to bake your own bread?
