Peak Idiot

Via Balloon Juice, as mentioned, the glibertarian solution:
The most amazing voice from the anti-tyranny forces, though, belonged to a woman named Amanda Biondolillo, from Concord:
"The family should be left to resolve it on their own," Biondolillo said. "Or private enterprise - private companies can contact the family and say, 'We heard you were hitting your kids. Can you stop that?' "
Is Amanda Biondolillo a prankster who shows up at protests to say things to make libertarians look like morons? Her online presence looks sincere. But: really? Private enterprise! The solution to domestic violence is for there to be private companies that will go around telling people to please stop hitting their kids. Oh, the parents will say, we hadn't thought of that. We will stop hitting the children now.
Original report.
But the vast majority of protesters did not know Irish or Taylor, though they said they were familiar with similar struggles.

"We've got Nazis in our airports," said David Oliver, an Exeter man. "They're restricting our movement, trying to chill everybody by stealing babies."
Gypsies or fairies?

    and then pay the private company. It's a rock-solid business plan, that.

  2. My solution is to teach the children how to fight... too bad only loving parents are motivated to drag their kids to me on Saturday mornings.

    Big ups (Do you kids still ...) to B2tha4. The sooner the yout' can "defend" themselves from their parents the better.
