I like to ask, whats the Libertarian view of government role during time of flood, earthquakes. Somehow I just can’t get around the fact that government should do nothing in these situations, just like the gulf oil spill.

Government should build banks to stop floods or oil from hitting shore, they should provide some minimum shelter and food for ppl. Of course we should not make ppl whole from disasters, but we should at least provide some minimum assistance TEMPORARILY

What was it before there was a FEMA or Governors waiting around for the Feds?

During the 1906 SanFran earthquake, the Mayor immediately took charge and said looters would be shot. San Francisco

government to me is a necessary evil. That should be leashed by our Constitution to only be allowed to do specific functions. the protection of our shores and oceanic waters are one of the listed powers of the federal government.

there are things a society needs a government for so that it does not sink into anarchy.

the problem with Liberals is they think that government should have no boundaries and the problems with Libertarians is they think the government should have no power. the answer is of course what the founders figured out.
