Other various examples of 'monopolies' aren't monopolies at all in the truest sense of the word (Microsoft/Old Standard Oil), but have been popularly tagged asTarrantLibertyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624121038065257931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-33125722977421740532008-12-28T01:09:00.000-06:002008-12-28T01:09:00.000-06:00Hello Dr. Ralphsky,I enjoyed your post, but I've f...Hello Dr. Ralphsky,<BR/>I enjoyed your post, but I've found several items where I believe you may have missed our point we keep trying to make - and yes, we can make a point without the use of a 9mm. In fact, to join the LP, one must sign a "Oath of non-coercion".
