Great Rumbler, A Black Falcon: What does Somalia have to do with libertarianism? Somalia does have a government and Somalia's history has been plagued by the intervention of foreign governments.
Come on! I'm not in here saying "Oh yeah, well if you support the government so much, look how the U.S.S.R. turned out. It was a government paradise. Durrr"
Weltall: The point of libertarianism is liberty and self-ownership. These are very similar concepts, but I say them both because "liberty" best implies our universal rights, those being rights that can apply to all people and do not contradict themselves... thus leading to freedom from violation. And the term "self-ownership" implies responsibility for one's actions taken.
