You continue to make casual slurs against libertarianism. There
are many places where libertarian thought deserves criticism, but
what it does not deserve is simple dismissal, because there is
also much worthwhile in it.  Contrary to your claim (if your
parenthetical comment counts as such), libertarian literature
exists in both breadth and depth. If you think you are capable of
writing a posting that eviscerates the entire field, please do so
-- I will enjoy reading it, and most likely critiquing it. But
your curt dismissals with nothing to back them up only leave your
audience suspicious that your opinions are uninformed.
