Libertarianism

Perhaps libertarianism can be thought of like this: sometimes foxes get in the chicken house and eat some of the chickens. Libertarians think the solution is to get rid of the farmhands and let the foxes run the chicken house.

Or perhaps it's better this way.

Sometimes farmhands steal chickens. Libertarians say we should get rid of the farmhands and let the foxes run the chicken house.

Let's solve infinitely complex problems with overly simplistic solutions. Bumper sticker policy. Uninformed opinion is just as valid as fact. Start with what you want to believe, then only accept what supports your belief.

Sometimes I want to completely disappear.
