Over at Tennesseefree (and also at SayUncle), #9 has his talking points all mixed up:

England is fast becoming the Orwellian nightmare that George Orwell prayed would never happen. It has now passed France as the one of the worst places for free people to live. In fact France is quickly changing and stepping away from the social democracy of the French past.

In England there are cameras everywhere and never a cop in sight. Citizens cannot own a gun or a knife for personal protection but criminals can. The insanity of social democracy has created criminal zones where the law abiding don’t stand a chance.

Now shop keepers are using sonic devices to drive away teenagers they don’t want as patrons.

There are people in America that believe this is the model for our country. They must be fought each and every time they try to take our liberties from us.

Hate to break it to him, but the “sonic devices” that Number 9 is complaining about have been sold, bought, and propagated exclusively through the free market. The “nanny state” government types are the ones who are trying to ban the devices. Basically, it is us (the modern liberals) who argue that businesses shouldn’t be able to get away with crap like this, and the government should step in to prevent that sort of nonsense. Libertarians are the ones who argue that the government takes away freedoms rather than protecting them, and that we should “let the market decide” and not worry about such nannyish regulation. Number 9, a self-identified libertarian type, is actually condemning something the market did, and siding with the government. The libertarian argument is that the business owners should have the right to drive off anyone they want with any sort of device they want.

I suspect that when he re-reads the story, and realizes what he’s done, he’ll change sides.
