Because that denigrates the word libertarian. Outside the United States, a defender of the free-market is generally called liberal, and libertarian is anyone who opposes the existence of government.That´s why most of times the word "libertarian" is referred to anarchists. Then people will see libertarians as egoistical hypocrites or second class republicans/democrats; Once we get them to think > outside the two party box, the more philosophically minded can > introduce them to Rothbard, Hayek, Rand, etc. Who is going to introduce Rothbard and Hayek to David Souter? : ) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
