Review

Just how far can the principles of individual liberty be pushed? Walter Block pushes them just as far as he can in defense of the activities of scallywags, rogues, rascals, and scoundrels. From the premise that activities involving force and fraud are outlawed, Block defends all of those "capitalist acts between consenting adults" that horrify right-thinking Americans by showing that they are actually beneficial. -- D. T. Amentano

This review is from: Defending the Undefendable: The Pimp, Prostitute, Scab, Slumlord, Libeler, Moneylender, and Other Scapegoats in the Rogue's Gallery of American Society (Paperback)

i own a copy of this book, the 1998 print. the sex and drugs side of this book are good, but i don't care for the business dregs and scapegoaters and other abusive types.

walter block seems to want to legalize hate,deception,disgust and boarder-line
unconstitutional fascists.

the one jackwagon i have not found in this "book for egotists" is the deadbeat
parent(S)(money hoarder/hypocrite/liar/backstabber/dictator/queen-b,king-d/fascist
hippy.hippy's claim peace love and brotherhood, yet i have found this to be an oxymoron.

this is the only book/tape i have by this "screw the youth" bible-thumper(this book).

i really think walter block/howard stern/trey parker,matt stone/etc have set into
motion the excellerated demise of OUR country, the ho's

i am one whom does believe in benign democracies(family/work first, society last
and on a leash).
