What’s a Libertarian?
There is a Libertarian Party in the United States. They don’t seem to get elected on any national scale and many people don’t really know what they stand for. The media pretty much ignores them.
Here’s a nice explanation from Sam Wells‘ point of view. I found that I agreed with most of what Libertarians agree with. There’s even a book about Libertarianism, if you’re interested. It’s all about personal freedom and responsibility.
Here are more essays about Libertarianism written by Sam Wells.
Anybody a fan of “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand? It’s a novel that relates very well to current circumstances where it appears that the government is trying to regulate more and more; punishing success.
Atlas Shrugged was first published in 1957. It may be the most influential ever read. I’m reading it again, now. There are 1,667 reviews of it on Amazon.com.
Anyone have something to add?
