re israel s expansion ii in article ri pk f cat cis brown edu dzk cs brown edu danny keren writes can someone elaborate a little on what this libertarian movement is i am not going to draw conclusions from a small sample but so far i recall two self described libertarians posting here both seems to be incredibly ignorant incredibly arrogant all they want is to get people angry posses a lousy sense of humor write incoherently and jump from topic to topic without any logical connection between topics describe themselves as intelligent and knowledgeable although everything in their posters points to the opposite very childish the libertarians believe in getting the government off the backs of the people so that the free market can solve problems libertarians believe in an end to the welfare state an end to government subsidies of all sorts the basic idea is that the government is way too big and way too expensive and should be shrunk down to a reasonable size they also believe in a complete end to foreign aid including the stationing of american troops overseas we can not and should not be policing the world i agree that the people who come into this group and describe themselves as libertarians seem to posses the charictaristics you describe but heck we re not all like this i m a libertarian and i ve got a great sense of humor adam adam shostack adam das harvard edu if we had a budget big enough for drugs and sexual favors we sure wouldn t waste them on members of congress john perry barlow
