Post by: trapeze on July 07, 2012, 11:49:03 PM

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.
