Anyone who thinks there are no differences in the two candidates needs only to look over the last four years.
As an aside, my personal problem with the libertarian platform is its incredible selfishness. Where is the sacrifice asked? How do you pay for the care of sick, the elderly? How do you help create opportunity for the poor, so all can share in the American Dream? All these things are lacking in the libertarian community. Its lack of compassion and responsibility for and to others (in the community, city, state, and country) is the culmination of all that is wrong with the Baby Boomer generation, and the "Me Me Me" attitude that it spawned.
