Scott, this one's for you. Herein I invite our resident feisty libertarian to take on all comers in another round of debate as to whether there really is such a thing as "the common good" or if the appeal to such concepts is merely a ploy to legislate morality and lead us all down the road to serfdom.
(I personally think that the slogan "Taxation is theft" would be more honestly expressed as "Rights without responsibilities!" or "Citizenship is for suckers." But feel free to agree/disagree below. And whatever you think of the civitas, let's keep things civil here.)
