    I have researched it, and have come to the conclusion that you're very wrong. There's no way that they could've planted sufficient explosives in the buildings beforehand without being noticed. You may be too stupid to know this, but it literally takes months of setting up to demolish a building of those sizes. It's a big production, one that certainly would not have gone unnoticed by the thousands of people working there every hour of every single day.

    It was noticed, and not everyone is in every part of the building 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You should know that. Building 7 was not hit by any plane, it just fell. Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt the steal to cause a collapse like that in any of those buildings. You think you know science? You can't even figure this shit out, you just go with the flow.

      It was not noticed, which is strange considering that the building was very secure. And there is no evidence of an explosion in any video or seismological record. Such an explosion would easily have been audible, would have occurred for over ten seconds, and would have blown out most of the windows.

      Do I have to point out the obvious facts that a building fell on it and that it was on fire?

      Yes it does. http://rustylopez.typepad.com/newcovenant/images/2007/03/30/g3c_2.gif[^] Well, OK, the steel doesn't melt, but as you can plainly see, it weakens significantly. I've seen the videos of the buildings, I've seen the steel twist and warp just before they collapse.

        As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others.

        We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized.

        Seems to me you have the wrong definition

                Jon and I see eye to eye on many things. I've argued with him time and again on many things and I'll say with all honesty, learned quite a bit from the man. He's smart, been through a lot, knowledgeable, articulate and is not easily fooled. If I ever get to meet him in person it would be a privilege. Your point was?

                Ditto. I like men (and women) who have their b.s. detectors turned up high. Doesn't matter whether they agree with me, just so long as they can tell the difference between shit and shinola. (A phrase that dates, me, I'm sure.) Interesting isn't it, how kool-aid drinkers pick far more fights with folks who simply demand honesty from those they interact with than with folks whose kool-aid is a different color but who down it just as quickly?

                        Really? I find him to be arrogant and intellectually dishonest. Pretty good at googling for things that make him sound smart though. Anything that tends to trully challange his world view is quickly ridiculed and demonized.

                        You both tend to tell rather unbelievable stories which you seem to actually expect people to simply accept at face value. Without actually calling you a liar (because I tend to be a sekptical person to begin with) I frankly don't believe your father was either picked up by the FBI or on his to LA on 9/11 anymore than I believe Jon is someone who is missed by the lessor members of mensa, fought in vietnam, made a fortune in software (or whatever it was) and comes from some sort of elite Bostonian academic clan. If he actually has all those rather incredible credentials, he has certainly wasted his life.

                                  I am not sure what fire does to steal, but elevated temperatures does cause steel to become weaker, softer, and more ductile. The process is called annealing. With your google skilz, it shouldn't be too hard for you to find.

                                    So this: force and fraud must be banished from human relationships actually sounds reasonable to you? The basis of a practical form of government? If so, I have one simple question, who actually gets to do the banishing?

                                    Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

                                      Consequently, we defend each person's right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest, and welcome the diversity that freedom brings. The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power. It's a individual responsibility !!! no government involved, therefore the answer is each one of us individually

                                        But without authoritarian power, where does the ability legal pretext to defend anything come from? Without authoritarian power how does a socieety manage to arrive at definitions of which activities are peaceful and honest?

                                        So, we just individually decide to go out and what... kill those who appear to be compelling people to do things which they otherwise would rather not be doing? Do we ask first, or do we just start blasting away? I simply do not understand how such a society would be structured.

                                          We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.

                                          Governments throughout history have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the State has the right to dispose of the lives of individuals and the fruits of their labor. ( as you cite) Even within the United States, all political parties other than our own grant to government the right to regulate the lives of individuals and seize the fruits of their labor without their consent.
