Christine, what you are saying here is utter rot. I am libertarian and I am fed up to the teeth with being characterized as selfish and uncaring simply because I do not see governments doing what needs to be done with any efficiency and because I insist on the right to direct what is done with the money for which I have worked damned hard to earn. It is the same kind of claptrap that the United Way used to indulge in with its blather about what my "fair share" is.

Damn it, I usually more than tithe to support feeding and sheltering the homeless, to support AIDS research, to support ecological research, to support all the causes you are waving around. And I suspect that if you were able to take a peek at FT's checkbook, you might find the same. I have yet to meet a libertarian lacking compassion and awareness. We simply believe that it is our right to dispose of the fruits of our labor ourselves rather than have a government that is politically motivated and disgustingly inefficient abscond with what we have earned and throw it at whatever the cause du jour may be.

And I am sick and tired of listening to "liberals" taking the moral high ground. Could it be that some of them are too lazy to research where and how they should give their money and time?
