This bill was just rejected.

The fact there was bill like that to be voted on means that yes, they are idiots.

Yeah, they are idiots for proposing this.

The Oil prices are just a bubble, people will soon realise prices are grossly overinflated and this'll lead to a collapse in prices, probably to lower than before. That is of course if the Free Market is allowed to work and is not stopped by Big Oil or Big Govt.

NOt only is congress full of idiots, but the people who put them there are idiots.

Indeed. You only get a worthless, moronic Congress when you vote idiots into office.

Libertarians often consider their opinions to be so valid, that they reflect on how much better things would be, if they were philosopher-kings.

The problem is, in a democracy, you have to convince other people you have the right ideas.

Note that they currently have little power, even in the conservative party.

My guess is that it's that whole everybody-else-is an-idiot thing.

That, and the fact that America is still the best libertarian model in the world, even with all their complaints about the big, bad government.

I think you might be right.

Except for us. We are clearly not-idiots. And far, far smarter than the actual idiots (aka everyone else).

I'm not saying there aren't a lot of idiots out there...

But the wisest people I know are humble enough to realize how little they really know...

I don't know all sorts of things. But I'm not an idiot. I know that.
