Excellent post. When you want a Libertarian's stand on anything, go to the Ayn Rand Institute not losers like Harry Browne.

I did omit a paragraph where he attacked Reagan for supporting some fundis back in the 80's I think his facts were not entirely correct as the Reagan admin mainly supported the future Northern Alliance against the commies. The funding for the Taliban types came from our gulf "ally" the magic kingdom.

I will admit that I have some philosophical diffrences with the more fanatical objectivst. I don't see "unbridled" selfishness as a good thing we all need help at one time or another and I believe there is such a thing as rational religion( ie the universe existing in time must have a cause existing outside of time or your left with the absurd solution that the timeline itself has no point of origin). I believe that rational individuals seeking their enlightened self interest is a good thing but saying all altruism is evil( ie never ever do a favor for strangers) is bad.
