I don't see any way that a pure libertarian state could function, but I don't see any way that a "pure" state of any ideological persuasion could function. I do wish that a good deal more libertarian thinking would emerge in both political parties.

I agree with you about Libertarianism and utopianism. We have a problem. I feel disgraced, literally and personally, as an American embarrassed, by the almost God-like status this [omit adjectives as having been already provided] actor-to-the-core has among millions of (gullible, in my view) Americans. I am not making up my feeling about this. I am not alone in it. If you feel that I think you are, personally, a disgrace to the nation, you forget that you are a more complex person than simply a RR fan club member. You may well be a great asset to the world, your nation, your state, your town, your neighborhood, your family. But take the one part of the Greatness That Is Michael M <g>, the Reagan-true-believer part, and put it together with that component of millions of other Americans who are themselves not disgraceful people at all (only, imo, gullible, and too easily impressed by a nice smile and too ready to forgive certain "sins"), and you have an abstract entity that represents, to me, an embarrassment to this country. A disgrace, even. And that's the way it is. I suggest you not take it personally, Michael.
