[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1150533, member: 2189"] Many libertarians (I did not say all on purpose) don't want to screw you as much as just leave you alone and let you and those closest to you figure out how you want to live your lives. At the very least, many libertarians look towards a model before the Constitution itself in the Articles of Confederation as being the framework for a federal state but for many even that is too much. Texan in another thread asked if one were King for a Day so to speak, what would you do? If you take libertarian thought towards it's conclusion, the first thing you'd do as King would be to fire yourself from the job. This is why I think the Libertarian Party as a political party jumps the tracks as this is not their goal but rather they want to be King. And I speak as a former State Libertarian Party Delegate in the mid 1990's. That aside, why just libertarians? Why not the Green Party, the Constitutional Party, even the....wait for it.... the Socialist Party? Free Speech is Free Speech, you can't pick and choose. Getting everything out on the table also brings it all out into the sunshine so everyone can see it. At the same time this provokes conversation which leads to questions, then answers and thus knowledge. An informed individual is not what the ruling class wants nor can it maintain power with.
