You, Marx, Engels....

... John Adams, George Washington, and a few others. (The key word was "untrammeled," in case you missed it.)

Your quip is a shining example of why libertarians will forever be marginalized as a group of unpleasant and unelectable loudmouths.

Libertarians will of course remain unelected.

People have no wish to be free.

They simply appeal over and over to government, to save them from themselves.

And the chains grow ever tighter.

What about when your 'community' decides abortion is what the community wants? I know, I know, just elect more conservatives who will change the standards for the community in the same wrongheaded way the left did.

OWK and most libertarians would argue that a town of 20,000 can make whatever laws and ordinances it wants, its the community of 250,000,000 that has us a little concerned.
