Scott Scheule ponders how to paint Anarcho-Capitalism as the middle ground:
I suppose what we do is create some other crazy extreme so far removed from anything that anarchy ends up seeming like the happy medium compromise. I think I can do this, though I'm a little tipsy. All right, my new political philosophy is "Anarcho-Moon-Blowing-Up-ism." Let's say we've now got three groups. We've got the anarchists, the pro-governmentalists, and the crazy anarchists who not only want no government, but they want to blow up the friggin' moon. Whoa! What's this? All of the sudden, anarchy is the moderate, centrist position. At debates people are always yelling at us, calling us spineless; "Take a stand you gutless wimps! Either say you want government, or you want no government and you want to blow up the moon!"

It's always kind of flattering to do a yahoo search for your name and find your words posted on someone else's site. Thanks.
