<<<I see libertarianism as offering better approaches to the governance of society.>>>

Chris: If you mean by "governance", government I think we have to redefine "libertarianism"
I am positive they do not want to use the government as a means of improving society. They are firmly behind the Constitution that has little to do with all the new programs that have been initiated. There is not one mention of schools in the Constitution.

Christopher, I too would seek better approaches to the governance of society. I feel my "brand" of Libertarianism seeks to explain and promote what is best for all in society. I don't feel that my view of Libertarianism- when understood- can conceivably be seen as "turning its back on society."

Have I not stated that I believe privatization of education would produce results that would be best for all concerned, rich and poor alike? If I am correct, then this would be a good thing for society, nothing less. You do not have to understand and/or agree, to accept that I believe this(I do). If you can merely accept that I believe this(as I have stated), then it should not "seem" to you at all, that I see Libertarianism as turning its back on society.

Freedom Works,
