On Libertarianism In Today's Political Environment

Interesting piece about small "L" libertarianism and its growing influence in the Republican party...

Quote
Something's going on in America this election year: a renaissance of an ideal as old as the nation itself — that live-and-let-live, get-out-of-my-business, individualism vs. paternalism dogma that is the hallmark of libertarianism.

Sounds rather like wishful thinking but I guess you never know.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.
