As Mencken or O'Rourke or one of those other wits has said: "I love 
freedom more than anything in the world - but not enough to impose it 
on anyone else."

Short of forcing people to go along with your political agenda at the 
point of a gun, how do you propose to engage in this "activity"? I 
have not heard any of you "humanitarians" asking for contributions to 
raise and equip an army of (real!) volunteers to go and impose your 
solution on those offending parties. It seems to me that the 
only "activity" you promote is for the United State government to 
increase its theft of other people's property at the point of a gun 
so it can force some government bureaucrats - also at the point of a 
gun - to do what you think should be done. I see nothing libertarian 
about that. In fact, it is the very antithesis of libertarianism from 
what I can tell; it's the kind of thing that Democrats and 
Republicans and other types of liberal/socialists do.
