As I said in reply #60

As a political philosophy, libertarianism is the only one that affords people an opportunity (as a right), to form and maintain exclusive communities of like minded people, to live, work, and raise families, free of outside interference. You will not find this right and encouragement any where else on the political spectrum.

You just have to learn to read.

I never suggested that Libertarianism is going to provied you a free welfare check, in the form of giving your property and values special special protection. You will have to earn that yourself. Libertarianism only will protect your right to invest toward your particular desires and values. It will not provide them for you. That will have to be of your own doing.

You ask:

Where do we put...

We Don't ! ! !

Instead, you decide for your self only, at your own expense, where you want to be.

And yes, a state would have lots of enclave, pretty much the way it is now. Just most of them would be better defined, and have better legal protection against outside interference.

We do not want a mommy state to take care of us, as you seem to want.

WHAT??? I haven't asked for special protection from squat! I said the people vote for the way they want to live. Where do you come up with these strawmen?

You don't want a group of "like-minded" individuals setting rules (as you so stated). You want a group of "identically-minded" people setting rules which would only apply to them.

In theory, this sounds nice. As a practical matter, it's impossible to do. And that's Libertarianism in a nutshell -- all theory, no practicality.
