You said it yourself, LK - "Teenagerhood" is a Social Construct. Add to this the point the MRA's have been making - which I think is sound - that Women are being largely infantilized by laws that practically make their accusation to be evidence of Rape, or Gender-based Affirmative Action, and I think the picture emerges of a real violence being done against our children. Look at how many youths accomplished great things in the past: Teddy Roosevelt was supposed to have been an accomplished author at 12. George Washington, a geographical surveyor. As two examples.<br /><br />So this is a lot of rambling, but I would say the better solution is to scale back the number of years of compulsory ed and encourage youths to take adult responsibilities early on. A European model of college-style education in the early-mid teens might work here. Netherlands seems to work rather well with their push to get kids on their life/career tracks by 16.<br /><br />ON THE OTHER HAND... I see a lot of problems with earlier emancipation of youths and point #2 LMAO! <br /><br />Apparently that irony is missed on most Rothbardians?Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890229869783893118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-72271856052332081642016-08-26T08:52:15.742-07:002016-08-26T08:52:15.742-07:00While not an Ancap, lets not forget everyone;s fav...While not an Ancap, lets not forget everyone;s favorite libertarian theocrat Gary North. In addition to ending the Fed, all trade restrictions, and internal regulations he has some interesting views on capital punishment. <br /><br />On the subject of executing children, North has written "When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime... The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death".

As I have long said,...Barrel fishing today are we?<br /><br />As I have long said, Rothbard style Libertarianism does not work with children. A theory which fails on every person it is applied to leaves something to be desired.<br /><br />I do hope Bob Murphy shows up again to defend this stuff, but as I recall even he balks at some of this.
