In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here: chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.” The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

You better keep your phone locked.
I don't censor people. I cut off trolls, You are a troll.
How is that different from big government? Simple: I own this blog. I make the rules because it is my property.
You have no inherent right to speak here, especially when you are not trying to communicate, but are trying to destroy.
Don't like it? Go start your own blog and see if you can attract an audience.
You've got as much "right" to post here as anyone--which is to say whatever rights I give you. This blog is private property, and if you were actually a Libertarian you'd know that means I have the absolute right to do any damn thing I like with your comments.
Want me to leave your comments up? Then post something that has something to do with the post you are commenting on, and stop posting crap about other people that has nothing to do with them.
Otherwise go the hell away or quit whining. Your choice--just remember--when you piss me off it takes less time to delete them than it does for you to write them.
Sounds like someone didn't pass basic civics ...

By the way, you are done for the evening here.
