Libertarianism

While this post by PZ Myers is itself worth reading, the comments section has an excellent discussion of Libertarianism, which, for those of you who don't know, is what well-off white people want, that is, Republicans who want to smoke pot and buy hookers. I really, really, dislike Libertarianism. Not everything it leads to or stands for, but its essence. It is just so inhuman, and amazingly unrealistic. The comments in the linked post do a good job of exposing the buffoonery, but also showing some of the redeeming features of Libertarianism.
