any true cypherpunk must be a libertarian..
Libertarians are just cowardly anarchists, they lack the courage of their convictions to take the last step and eliminate government altogether.
Libertarians are well aware of the need for government, they are also aware of the dangers to personal freedom that governments represent. The goal of the Libertarians is to provide a system that minimizes government and maximizes personal freedom. In the US this system takes the form of a Constitutionally limited government (ie: the US Constitution interpreted as a limiting document not an enabling one). Anarchism does not work. It is a pipe dream much like Communism that only leads to Totalitarianism. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
