Abandon ship!

Well, that's one way to go about it. Libertarians, of course, love their country at the substantial risk of being branded statists, which is one reason I continue to suspect I'm not a libertarian. (Remember, there is no spoon!) Also because I'd sooner raise my kids in some godforsaken American wasteland like Vermont than Costa Rica. (As it is, I endure Bob Taft's purgatory.) But since you become too square to be libertarian when you have kids anyway, there you are. Speaking of fighting a losing battle.

Why do twerps in law school rouse themselves to asking Associate Justices of the Supreme Court where they put their weenies to commit "naked acts of resistance" (and then subject people to ponderous manifestos using the word "I" 23 times in four paragraphs) while libertarians cut and run? If nothing else, be selfish about it: Give me the world's most enviable standard of living over a 10 percent libertarian party representation at the national level any day of the week.
