@larkenrose: Yeah, those dictators... Always getting shot by their own people. Oh... Wait.
Calling me a sheep certainly qualifies as ad hominem, and as for statist:
Statism: a political system in which the state has substantial centralized control over social and economic affairs.
I have advocated for nothing more than the realization that without government controlled national defense you'd be fighting off militias left and right. So calling me a statist is innaccurate, and given your disdain for statists, absolutely an ad hominem. You only finally triedto address my point after I called you out on that.
Nice try though.
