I'd rather go be a Somalian pirate or something like that.

I read somewhere that the conditions in Somalia are so bad that becoming a pirate is the most sought after career option for young men. They believe that even European jails would be better than living in Somalia. OTOH if you don't get caught/killed, you live like a king. bunglows, booze women!

Wait, what? You mean Somalia isn't actually a Libertarian paradise? I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you!

Thanks. Next time I have to debate with a crazy libertarian that quotes the Mises folks, I will use these.
