Plinko for the People, my Comrades!!
Published on November 9, 2004 By Grim Xiozan In Politics
Yesterday at the first official meeting of the (soon to be official but unofficial until we elect officers) Libertarian Party of Allen County, a fellow Libertarian introduced this game to pass the time away and I thought it was so nice that I would introduce it here.

The idea behind it is to show the absurdity of somebody's idea, by first saying I agree than giving an example that proves the absurdity of the idea.

Now the original game was designed for Libertarians to be used against Statist views.

Gun Control reduces Gun Violence.
Reply would be (example): I agree!! World Dictators love unarmed citizens because it makes it easier for them to control them!

Mexican Immigration should stop because they end up on Welfare
Example: I agree!! The United States is indeed a more socialist nation than Mexico!! When I see a Mexican raking leaves or another hard task I will point to him/her and laugh how do you like your welfare?

Well I think people can get the general idea, so anybody wish to play?

Plinko for Political Savants!!

Patriot Act

I agree!! I love to be detained by a warrant from the FBI for checking out an Ayn Rand novel that has been deemed "terrorist material"
