I'd settle for getting the SUPERBeetle running (so I can sell it). The plugs are fouled. 'Someone' needs to care more.

A story today that will get Bicycle Bob's blood boiling:


boingboing.net:Walking car design proposed

I liked the Aptera, the outrigger front wheels looked vulnerable to passing cars.

Hey, I'm sympathetic to your desire for independence and freedom (my sarcastic signature advertises this).

Though I slightly lean Libertarian (rather than authoritarian), I'd probably offend the base with some of my opinions concerning protecting the commons and some minimum social safety nets. There's a certain sweet spot of maximizing freedom and creativity while providing parameters for behavior to organize society.

I'm not hardcore, but I think I should be able to risk my own neck without a ticket.

Libertarianism... The model that give freedon for everyone, just to the people with a lot more power get free to domain and slave people once again, like feudalism.

I bet all corporative sociopaths are libertarians.

If they are corporate sociopaths wouldn't they be authoritarian?

Minarchists (small government) anarchists (no government) and libertarians (nonagression) are similar, to overlapping.

You have not read up on Libertarianism. Nonetheless, your views don't change reality.

Authoritary systems give power to a few, in general to a politic leaders. Unless a corporate sociopath reachs political leadership, he could not be a authoritary. So the best and most viable way for such sociopath is to get freedom do do what he wants in bussiness, if he already have power.
Simple people will have no power to defends thenselves against large bussinessman, corporation. Neider small bussiness people or compoanies.

Private law system, private forum... it will be a disaster.
Human nature it's a disgrace, a trully disgrace, our specie is evil. We need to be protect against ourselfs.
That's why the hippies failed, because they imagined, in their fairy tale dopped minds, that humans were good and just the evil politics who start vietinan war was evil. And the hippies, today dressed as left wing radicals mostly, failed once again due the same reason.
