Here is your test. I'd be pretty happy under a Libertarian government, would you be?

Ustwo....show me a successful Libertarian government anywhere in the world in the last 200 years.
Its a fine model on paper and may work well in a small, agrarian, homogenous, isolationist nation. I dont believe for a second that such a government can represent its citizens best interests in a post-industrial, geo-politically and economically complex 21st century.
No, I would not be happy living under such a government, because, IMO, most likely it would be a failed state.

Hit and run? You know I covered this in my original long post.
There are about 15 liberals to one conservative that posts, I'm not going to respond to everyone who thinks they have a point.

FYI...here is an example of "hit and run" I am talking about....from you last post in Feb on global warming:
(link)
You find one scientist that attributes global warming to solar activity (I found the article to be informative and may certainly have some validity)....AND with that you discount any other scientific possibility (like the findings of the 100+ scientists and climatologists of the International Panel on Climate Change) as well as making smug comments directed towards those here who disagree with you.

I'm glad that some scientists are finally looking beyond the buzz and discovering what I and others have concluded for years. No amount of 'PCing' should be allowed to effect scientific judgement.

You conclude that your scientiist is right, the others are wrong, yet you dont hang around to debate....(
you" don't plan on posting anytime soon again.") - hit and run...and a very disengenuous way to participate in a forum.
My apologies to others for the threadjack and and making it personal.
