YAY! Libertarian wank!

Feb 22, 2007 18:24

raincloud314 is in desperate straits. Could libertarianism please, please, please help her out? She needs to know if the police have a special universal key to break into her house in order to search it without a warrant. Of course, the details of the situation are unimportant.

propopdan diminishes the seriousness of the situation when he fills her in on the secret tunnel system ( Read more... )

Define "cruddy." You are about to open a great big can of worms. :)

It does seem to attract an inordinate share of blowhard libertarian dingbats, however.

Oh good, so does where I'm from. My boyfriend used to live next to one. It will feel like home.

i pretty much agree with those comments. only thing i'd say is that MD is nowhere near as cold as new england. that is some COLD air up there. man, i spent a year in PA (yea i know further south still than new england) and it was freezing.

but yep, balmer area is a very nice cesspool.

IAWTC. If MD were as cold as New England, they wouldn't be mocked for not being able to deal with snow.

Seattle is probably a little better than Baltimore, which might be all you need to hear ( ... )

Man, more than the weather, the "Seattle freeze" might be a problem. Everyone here is excessively polite.
Other than that and the weather, it sounds a lot like Austin. Liberal spot in a conservative state, pretty chill about some things and not others, etc. We have plenty of strip clubs, though. Where else would the state congressmen go for lunch?

Can I c&p this to my personal journal to contrast it with San Diego, if I cite you and send you a link (since secret_voyeur isn't my personal journal)? I think it's a great description, and several of my friends, my wife, and I are considering relocating to Seattle in the not-too-distant future.

icprncs February 24 2007, 23:25:17 UTC

Sure, no problem.

Thanks. I finally got around to it. You can check it out on penguin_on_tele.

I think it's only cruddy if you think that the police are going in tunnels then using magic keys to break into your home and bust you.

There's a good chance I'll end up there for law school whenever I end up doing that (although I'm Texan and scared that the lack of sunshine up there will make me crazy).

Regarding the original post, we have a libertarian talk show where I live that is chock full of hilarity from the host (who talks like the comic book store guy from The Simpsons) about his "government file." LOL, like the feds give two shits about some lazy unemployed guy who goes on a rant once per week on a low-frequency community radio station.

To be fair, the tunnel thing was a joke and it pissed the OP off that someone would joke about it. She was serious about the special keys, though!

lotsofbluestuff February 23 2007, 03:20:58 UTC

I know, I was just trying to be as ridiculous as possible.

lotsofbluestuff February 23 2007, 03:21:35 UTC

Oh, and I know people who really believe crap like the tunnel thing, haha.

Western Washington is great if you really like gray skies and clouds. To be fair, this only lasts from about September to June. The rain gets hyped all the time, but it's the endless bleakness that really gets to you, unless you're impervious to seasonal depression.
