<<<<< Libertarianism has so many wacky ideas associated with it, that anyone who buys the whole package can't help but being a wack job>>>>>

Wack job? There are lots of people who are Libertarian - or especially Libertarian on social issues. Many of the social issue fall right in line with the most liberal democrats. Are they all wack jobs too? ........I agree completely with those who suggest Libertarianism can't work in totality in todays world primarily because there is so damn many of us. But here is the definition of libertarian;

lib·er·tar·i·an (lbr-târ-n)
n.
1. One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.
2. One who believes in free will.

I believe in free will. I believe in individual rights. I don't believe in the government interfering in my bedroom, my home or what number I dial on the phone. But then I'm a wack job! bentway, nobody buys the complete package of any party. One who does is not thinking for themselves but instead they have bought into the ideology of their masters.
