Don't Ask the Libertarian Anything
Most media never mentions the Libertarians, so why should you inquire here?

Is there more to libertarianism than just avoiding responsibility?

BonoVoxSupastar, You have not done your research. The core of the Libertarian principle is personal responsiblity. |

You always make post how you want to be able to smoke anywhere you want, regardless if it hurts someone else. You don't want to be fined if you throw your butt out the window. We should ignore global warming. We should allow harmful chemicals in our foods. I don't see how this is being responsible. Are you saying that the government shouldn't legistlate these things because somehow you will take the "personal" responsibility of not smoking in a restaurant, you'll stop throwing your butts out the window on your own, or you and corporations will start looking at what we're putting in our bodies? |

You couldn't be more wrong with your assumption. Some elementary reading material for you to consider:- Schools of economic thought:- Austrian school Libertarian / Austrian school theorists: Murray Rothbard Lew Rockwell Luwig Von Mises Ideology: Classical Liberalism Minarchism |

could you detail the ways in which the Republican party is far more hostile to the goals of libertarians than the Democratic party?
where does taking responsibility for yourself fit in when someone else gets killed because of the irreponsibility of self-professed libertarians? should we not treat smokers who get lung cancer? after all -- personal responsibility. |

About your second question, smokers can smoke all they want, and if they want treatment, and if a doctor wants to treat them for whatever price, then that is fine. If they don't want treatment, thats fine too. |

Seems to be more hedonism than libertarianism.

I'm puzzled why you think that about me. This is the political party I continue to vote for: http://www.lp.org/ |

I'm not the only one.
Why do I think this? Your threads. Read my post that starts with "Really?" this is why so many are confused by your stance on Libertarianism. |
