Libertarians reject that notion, inventing an insane notion of "personal sovereignty," again refusing to accept that "no man is an island" and the responsiibility that comes with being a member of society.
Wow what a load of lies.
This Libertarian is a productive, working member of society who volunteers his time, gives to charity, pays his share of taxes, is active in his community, is a veteran of the armed forces, is a fathful husband, a loving father, he also chair his local LP affiliate and is active in politics.
As a matter of fact I took my Webelos Den to a local business last night to help a local man, a stranger that we never met before, and has only spoken with his wife on the phone the night before last and helped them get some of his crops in because he has taken suddenly ill and had gone into emergency surgery. yep-three hours last night being an island and focusing on my fingertips...

1. Really concerned about the state of our society to the point of action; or
2. You do so out of guilt for past sins.
Which is it?
