Re: "I am glad to see, though, that if there were a demonstrable conflict (acknowledging that you make no such admission), that you agree that government intervention can be justified." Yes, I make no admission, and see no evidence of such a demonstrable conflict. Hence, it would be a rare thing indeed to find me agreeing that government intervention can be justified. Re: "the Libertarian position is purely ideological, in the sense of amounting to an unverifiable faith that the Invisible Hand will suffice in all instances. Perhaps it is correct, but it is not obviously so, and others may legitimately differ........" I agree that it isn't necessarily to be considered obvious at the surface, but it is obviously correct upon honest examination and HIGHLY verifiable(history being replete with examples true. Unverifiable my Butt, lol). Naturally, I take STRONG exception to your assertion that the Libertarian position is purely ideological. It is hard to feel "idealogical" about Freedom when one knows it is not a be all solution to end all problems. It's just easy enough and logical to realize objectively that Freedom Works Best for us All overall, Dan B
