Trader J,
With your love of freedom and disdain for responsibilities, why don't you
tell us your real name instead of hiding behind some cute alias. It's like
you are afraid of people knowing who you are and what you are peddling. I
don't agree with everything Neal Weintraub says, but I sure respect him
coming to the list as who he is, and if I am interested, I can search out
his books, seminars presentations, etc., to better understand his approach.

| Robert,
|
| As far as I am concerned you may: take any drug you please,
| negotiate any
| contract with anyone you please (including any "broker", prostitute,
| "doctor", investment advisor, or anyone else). I do not
| accept the validity
| of any of these regulations. So I think you'll find the position of
| advocates of freedom consistent on this issue: We do not accept the
| validity of ANY regulation save one: you may not initiate the use of
| physical force nor commit fraud against another. That's it!
|
| Governments were instituted among men to *protect our
| freedom*, not to
| regulate us.
|
| Again I say: You have no right to regulate me. If you
| choose to regulate
| me, see yourself for what you are: a man standing behind
| the barrel of a
| gun. For nothing short of that will bring my compliance.
|
|
| All the best,
|
| Trader J

| using with all of us in the above. Why in the above
| professions are we
| presumed guilty until we prove our innocence from

| mechanic who is on
| commissions that has a felony conviction for thief not have

| and prove his findings. Why can't I have a prostitute, smoke
| marijuana, do

| just for the

| regulated that
| handle health and money. If I agree again I say why you not
| me, why? Where
| does a good intentioned government draw the line in
| protecting its citizens
| you decide. You say you have no right then I say you have no right to
| regulate me either then we both have to go back and live in
| this imperfect
| world. Like I said its a complex issue. Its hard for me not to be a
| hypocrite here it really is.
