Libertarianisms foundation is you leave me alone, I leave you alone.

Really? Libertarians on FR continually attack our laws and systems of government, but they don't want any criticism leveled at their facile philosophy.

You keep preaching about living in a community that shares your values. Why did you join a forum that includes libertarians?

"By way of analogy, I know superb marksmen who could safely fire rifles down crowded urban streets. They could take out a rat standing between your feet and never touch you. I wouldn't be in favor of ordinances that would allow them to do so." --Kevin Curry

You people (hey you've passed the Turing test!) sound more like Sarah Brady every day. The analogy here appears to be 'someone may discharge a gun dangerously, therefore we should outlaw guns.' No one is questioning that a town council could prohibit discharging guns (unless you're actually trying to stop a crime), but they lack the authority to outlaw the gun. Similarly, they can outlaw public intoxication, but they can't ban booze or other drugs. Is there soimething else we are supposed to learn from this?

Libertarians on FR continually attack our laws and systems of government,

Calls for the repeal of certain laws, and for the prosecution of GS-grade criminals hardly constitute an attack on our system of government. Maybe I was being too generous above: you actually sound more like B*ll Cl*nt*n here (Remember? the OKC bombing was because of gov't-haters like talk radio hosts)

As I see it, the Woddies are fanatical supporters of an FDR policy that was condemned as unconstitututional at the time by the GOP. To paraphrase Reagan, "I didn't leave the GOP, it left me"

-- Nope. - Libertarians on FR continually attack our unconstitutional laws and the abuse of government powers.
And, of course they don't want any criticism leveled at their eloquent philosophy by twits like you. Who would?
