Mother Nature might make even the strongest indistructable structures distructable. Anyone who would take their entire family and move out in the ocean on some goofy floating city as opposed to raising them on the safety of land would have to be a complete idiot, no matter how much money they had.
Isolated enclaves for the wealthy to escape form the chaos are an inevitable part of the future that Republican Party is creating for America. When they eliminate the middle class society will become too dangerous for them to enjoy their high standard of living alongside the rabble, so this will provide an even more secure fortress than a gated community.
If it weren't for the severe harm they would inflict on the ocean as well as the earth it is a tempging thought putting all of these anti-social tyrants who seek the opportunity to form their own cult and dictate to their numb numbs. Not surprised this is a relative of Milton Friedman the perpetrator of the big lies whose followers continue to espouse to along with the cult fervor for Ayn Rand.
I think this is going to happen, but not because of an individual wanting their own country. Corporations will do this eventually and why not? US corporations have already become so mobile that they don't even need to hire Americans anymore to make money (off their fellow Americans). What the Corporations need now is to take the next step and get together and form their own nation. They form their own govt. and transfer their Corporate HQ's there. They tax themselves what they deem necessary to run the thing. Here it comes! Guess who will get stuck for the bill for defending them if they are only 12 miles offshore?
I don't doubt that this is possible, but is it desirable? Would you want to live there? Why was Frank Lloyd Wright's 'Mile High Skyscraper' never built? Transportation, waste disposal, water supply and about 10,000 other things need to be considered before such a project is undertaken.
They will be crapping in the ocean and dumping their trash there like we already do, so that question was easy to answer. The question is, what will this libertarian paradise provide to other nations where they will trade other goods they may not be able to produce on their utopian floatilla. When does it become a nation, and are any of us obligated to sell them any of the raw materials to build their overman phallus in the ocean?
These wackos always forget that they need someone to clean up their crap. The people doing the cleaning aren't allowed into the Libertarian Nirvana and eventually the place is going to fall apart.
Libertarians are funny. Just play a nice round of BioShock and see what Uncle Miltie's grandson is in for.
What do we do when we KNOW for a fact that EVERY word out of EVERY politician is a lie and being said only because there is some perceived benefit to said politician?
OK, so we've arrived. NOW WHAT?
Name one, just ONE trustworthy politician. How do you know? The last time I trusted one of these guys was, well, the LAST time I EVER do. Fool me once ... fool me for the millionth time and well, I give up. Time for a change.

So this wacko idea is to create a "dictatorship" and who is to be the dictator, Friedman?
