Well written posting. I enjoyed reading it.

I submit however, as you seemingly have yourself discovered, that by definition Libertarianism has always been “something hip, arch, fun – and ultimately unserious”.

It simply does not work. It’a a purely intellectual trifle. And Ron Paul is 100% wacko. I assume that he was equally wacko ‘back in the day’. Simply repeating something forcefully ad infinitum does not make that something practical or doable.

Just call yourself ‘undecided’ and vote when it really matters. Otherwise you are probably right —

Poltroons to the left of us.
