Really? Then how do we know what "liberty" means? Should you have the "liberty" to own a Huey Gunship? Maybe you're half-crazy, but you can still function in a "libertarian" society and thus are judged "rational" enough to buy your very own fully armed attack helicopter. As I said in my previous post, there are, undoubtedly situations that require compromise. It's part of group living. Citing extremes panders to extremists.
