Boring Libertarianism

Writes Mike Tuggle: “Young, and many others who call themselves libertarian, is symptomatic of the total lack of mainstream opposition to the megastate. Here in North Carolina, the Libertarian Party has lost its ballot access. I think I know why — the last LP meeting I attended, the local head, who’d just won election to the Soil Conservation Board, said that Libs have to start ‘governing responsibly’ if they’re to hold on to office. At the time I feared, and now believe, that he meant ‘don’t upset the system.’ If the LP is selling the same bill of goods as the Dems and Reps, why bother?”
