Speak on, brother!

This is pretty much always what I think of when I think of libertarianism. I know that it's a flawed model, that it's an example of a failed state with a lack of respect for human life, that comparing it to a more libertarian USA is apples and oranges, etc.

Even so, when one of my friends talks about libertarianism, I always think, "Hey, weren't you a nerd who got picked on by the jocks in grade school?" I don't want "survival of the fittest" to be the model for my society, since Darwin (by way of Tennyson) explained pretty well how that referred to "nature, red in tooth and claw."

Fuck libertarianism. =)
