Something happens (or does not happen) in the childhoods of Patrick McGoohan and liberterians that has us refuse social conformity. I wouldn't even join in the applause at school assembly as a little boy unless I genuinely appreciated what occasioned it. Wasn't that I didn't feel crushing social pressure to do so anyway, I did.
I think I know what it was that happened. Although we may grow up to find each other as adults the scars of surviving still keep libertarians from joining and getting their act together.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.

Yeah, about the crushing social pressure to conform; try not standing up in the national anthem or church. It's very hard.
