Dispatches from Libertopia: Lawlessness = Liberty Edition

[Seen on a dKos diary by Hunter] Here's some plain-talking Libertopian common sense from CNBC anchor Erin Burnett:
I think people should be careful what they wish for on China -- you know, if China were… to start making, say, toys that don't have lead in them, or food that isn't poisonous, their costs of production are going to go up. And that means prices at Walmart, here in the United States, are going to go up too. So, I would say China is our greatest friend right now. They're keeping prices low[.]

Such deadly poison, but such low prices! And such generous portions, too!
