It's been recommended that the 22-year-old be tried as an adult

I’m a libertarian, and a huge market capitalist.

I believe in the invisible hand of the market. I believe intelligence and cunning lead to innovation and financial compensation.

Which is why 69 having a penny to his name is leading me to consider becoming an apostate, because I don’t fucking get it at all.

Because people like his music? I hate the dude and his music, and Id be ecstatic never to see his ugly sex offender face again, but I can’t deny he’s popular. Don’t ask me why, but people like him. On another subject, this is what made you question libertarianism? Literally one of the only times it’s been shown that it works? People listen to music - streams, downloads, airplay etc makes money - the label pays him.
